Russell went above and beyond to look for a leak in my commercial hot tub. He is highly capable and equipped. Would work with him again.

Kaden Sayani Verified Google Review

Great service, amazing attire — Russell took care of our pool fix when time was short. Would fully recommend.

Clayton Marshall Google Local Guide

Great experience with Black Tie! We had bubbling from the jets in our pool that several pool contractors could not fix. We had all of our pool equipment replaced. When that didn't work, we were told we needed to abandon the pool lines.…

J Gold Verified Google Review

What started as a slow lowering of the water level in our pool became increasingly a problem. We contacted Russell who ran through a series of tests over a few days to find the source of the leak, and to complete the repair.…

Maureen Ciarniello Verified Google Review

Russell was a pleasure to work with. His communication was excellent and pricing was fair and transparent. His no dig (pipe poxy) solution saved my rubberized deck from being torn up. My pool was losing about 100 gallons of water in an hour and Russell had my pool repaired in 24 hours. Highly recommend.

Paul Padda Google Local Guide

Russell does absolutely excellent work. Friendly and respectful service and great value. We will use this company again!

Corina King Verified Google Review

On short notice, Russell did an excellent job in inspecting the pool that was part of the home my wife and I were purchasing. He was straightforward and efficient in all aspects of his work for us. It is good to work with a business that has integrity. His advice was very helpful.

Bill Weiland Verified Google Review

Black Tie was punctual, responsive, and great to work with. Pipe epoxy solved my issue with leaks.

Jack Wisse Verified Google Review

After being initially frustrated with another pool leak detection company, I was thrilled to have found Russell. He was prompt, professional, and has tremendous communication skills and follow-through.…

Jeff Plante Verified Google Review

Russell from Black Tie Pool was amazing! He came out the same day to help us find a leak, and even though we ended up locating it ourselves, he was so helpful and gave us a repair kit to fix it right away. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and honest — highly recommend!

Christine U Verified Google Review

Russell spent several long days working diligently to find the leak in our pool. His estimate was reasonable and accurate. He worked hard to find the most cost-effective solution for us and got our pool up and running again.…

Kristina Louey Verified Google Review

We had reached out to a few pool repair companies and were on their waiting lists for months, but meanwhile our pool was losing a lot of water each day. On our way to a hockey game in Burnaby one Saturday, we had the good fortune of meeting Russell.…

Pat Gerow Verified Google Review

Russell from Black Tie Pools really got us out of a bind. We had to know if there was a leak to sell our parents' home. He answered the phone right away and was able to come the next day to the property. He stayed all day to determine if there was a leak.…

Chris Irvine Verified Google Review

Our 50-year-old pool was getting upgraded — new piping etc. — but unfortunately there was a persistent leak. Russell came out on short notice and on a Saturday afternoon to look into it. He was thorough, checked everything, and found the source of the leak. We got it fixed. Problem solved. Excellent service and result.

George Edwards Verified Google Review

I've got an older in-ground concrete pool and discovered the pool wasn't holding water. I've lived here for 15 years and have good knowledge of fixing small issues with pools, but this one was a problem I couldn't solve.…

Marty Donaldson Verified Google Review

Russell was able to help me identify a tricky leak and plugged it for me. He is very responsive and very good at communicating expectations and timelines. I would definitely recommend Russell for your pool leak troubles.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know before booking your service.

01 How long does a repair take?

Most fixes are done in 1–3 hours; replacements take half a day.

02 Will you drain my pool?

90 % of repairs are completed underwater - no draining required.

03 What are common signs my pool skimmer needs repair?

Tell-tale signs include water dropping below the skimmer mouth, a soggy deck around the skimmer, the basket no longer pulling debris efficiently, visible cracks in the throat, or wet soil on the equipment side of the skimmer wall.

04 Can you replace a damaged skimmer without rebuilding the deck?

In most cases — yes. We use techniques and replacement parts designed to work within the existing concrete cut-out, so a full deck rebuild is rarely necessary. We confirm the approach during diagnosis.

05 How long does a typical skimmer repair last?

A properly executed skimmer repair — whether it's a gasket reseal, epoxy patch, or full skimmer body replacement — should last for many seasons of normal use, especially when paired with regular pool care.
