Summer in Winter Garden means non-stop pool time—but all that fun in the sun can lead to wear and tear that needs attention. Once the peak season ends, many homeowners discover issues they didn’t notice earlier. At The Pool Mechanic, here are the most common post-summer pool repair problems we see (and fix) every year.


1. Cracked or Damaged Pool Surface

Sun exposure, pool chemicals, and heavy use can cause your pool’s surface to degrade over time. After summer, we often spot:

  • Hairline cracks in plaster or pebble finishes

  • Stains or rough patches on the surface

  • Chipping or flaking on older resurfaced areas


If your pool looks dull, damaged, or rough to the touch, it might be time to schedule a pool resurfacing consultation.


2. Leaking or Worn Pool Equipment

Summer puts your pump, filter, and plumbing through their paces. We often get repair calls in September and October for:

  • Pump leaks or motor failures

  • Filter cracks or reduced pressure

  • Broken valves or suction issues


Don’t ignore odd sounds, loss of pressure, or rising utility bills—these are all red flags. We provide full pool repair services in Winter Garden to keep your system running efficiently.


3. Damaged Pool Tiles or Coping

Summer storms and heat can loosen tiles and crack coping around your pool. Over time, these problems:

  • Create sharp edges that are unsafe

  • Allow water to seep into the foundation

  • Make your pool look outdated and unkept


If you notice missing or shifted tiles, pool remodeling might be the right option to give your pool a fresh look and address structural issues at the same time.


4. Malfunctioning Lights or Electrical Components

Heat and moisture exposure can cause wiring corrosion or light failures. Post-summer, we often replace:

  • Burned-out or flickering pool lights

  • Faulty GFCI outlets

  • Timer systems that no longer respond


Our licensed repair technicians can safely diagnose and replace any faulty electrical pool systems before they become safety hazards.


5. Skimmer and Drain Problems

Skimmers and main drains can get clogged or cracked with heavy summer use. If you’ve noticed:

  • Suction loss

  • Floating debris even after cleaning

  • Water levels fluctuating oddly


…it may be time for a skimmer or drain inspection. Contact us for a repair visit.


Don’t Wait for Winter to Fix Summer’s Damage

Early fall is the best time to handle these repairs—before temperatures drop and holiday prep begins. Prevent small issues from becoming expensive fixes down the road by scheduling a professional pool inspection today.
