Main Drain Fitting in-Situ Repair

[PoolDoc]

I've repaired main drains . . . and there's no get-by repair I'd be willing to do. If you hired me, I'd figure that any 'get-by' fix would fail about a week after you got the pool full . . . and that you'd then want me to come back, fix the leak, and pay for the drain and refill.

I'd bet that most decent service guys will tell you the same.

Among other things, that black poly pipe can split and THAT is a tough repair. The only thing that sticks to polyethylene is more polyethylene, using a welder.

PoolDoc, Thanks I understand the advantage and risk in excavating the concrete pool bottom, the leak may be in a 90 degree elbow outside the pool wall. The purpose of my post was to see if anyone had experience with any of the trenchless repair processes available.

Thanks again.
