Pool skimmer basket cracked and leaking — San Diego, California
A cracked pool skimmer basket lets leaves, insects, and debris bypass the basket and clog the pump impeller or filter, which can burn out the pump motor. If the skimmer housing itself is cracked, water can leak behind the pool shell and erode the surrounding soil. A pool technician can inspect the skimmer assembly, replace the basket or the entire housing if needed, and verify the suction line is sealed to prevent air leaks.
