Luxury Pool Repairs in Fort Lauderdale and Miami
Award winning expertise, advanced troubleshooting, and white glove service
A luxury pool is a major investment, and when something goes wrong, you need more than a quick patch. You need a licensed contractor with the training, awards, and technical knowledge to identify the root cause and restore performance with precision. For over two decades, Somar Pools has delivered pool repairs in Fort Lauderdale and Miami for some of the most complex, automation heavy, and architecturally significant pools in South Florida.
Our leadership is a licensed Florida pool contractor with advanced training in Jandy iAqualink automation, TruSense chemistry monitoring, and AquaPure salinity control. We are the Pinnacle Design Award winner for a suspended saline infinity pool, recipients of six consecutive Houzz Design Awards from 2019 through 2024, and we have been featured in Luxury Pools + Outdoor Living. That pedigree is why architects, builders, and discerning homeowners trust us to handle repairs others cannot.

Our 5 step repair process
- Rapid diagnosis
We respond quickly and bring advanced diagnostic tools. Our technicians listen to your description of symptoms, review your automation status, and establish baseline readings to rule out evaporation, chemistry drift, or false alarms. - System isolation
We separate shell from plumbing, then isolate pressure, suction, spa, and feature lines. This determines if issues are hydraulic, equipment related, structural, or electrical. - Precision testing
- Electronic listening and acoustic amplification detect leaks through decking and soil
- Pressure testing confirms line integrity
- Dye tracing isolates skimmer throats, light niches, fittings, and cracks
- Sensor verification compares automation readings against controlled benchmarks
- Transparent reporting
We provide a clear explanation, show our findings, and outline repair options with timelines and costs. We also recommend preventative strategies that protect finishes and reduce future repairs. - Expert repair and calibration
We execute the repair with best in class materials and proven methods, then recalibrate automation, chemistry, and salinity systems so everything runs as it should.
Troubleshooting focus: diagnosing root causes
One of Somar’s strengths is our ability to troubleshoot complex pools. Many “repairs” fail because providers replace a part without understanding why it failed. We look deeper.
- A heater problem may actually stem from low flow on a variable speed pump.
- A salinity drift could be tied to a failing sensor or undersized plumbing run.
- A noisy spillway often points to a faulty check valve or actuator misalignment.
- A leaking skimmer may be the result of expansion joint failure, not just worn plaster.
By identifying root causes, we save homeowners in Fort Lauderdale and Miami from repeat failures and wasted costs.
