Service

Fix what's broken.
Leave the rest alone.

Leaks, cracks, loose tile, equipment that quit. We diagnose the actual problem and repair that — no bundled packages, no rebuild you didn't ask for.

Repair vs. renovation

Most pool problems are one problem.

A pool that is losing water, a pump that will not prime, a run of tile that let go over the winter — these are repairs. They have a cause, the cause can be found, and fixing it does not require touching the rest of the pool.

We have built and plastered enough pools to know the difference between a repair and a renovation, and we will tell you which one you actually need. If the honest answer is that the plaster is at end of life, we say so and point you to our renovation page. If it is a $400 fix, that is what you get.

What we repair

Shell, tile, plumbing, equipment.

01

Leak detection & repair

Losing more than a quarter inch a day beyond evaporation means something is leaking. We pressure-test the plumbing, dye-test the shell and fittings, and fix the actual leak — not the whole pool.

02

Plaster & surface repair

Delaminated patches, hollow spots, rough or stained areas. When the rest of the surface still has life in it, we patch and blend rather than talk you into a full replaster.

03

Tile & coping repair

Loose or missing waterline tile, cracked coping stones, failed grout and mastic joints. We reset what can be saved and match what cannot.

04

Equipment repair

Pumps that hum but will not prime, filters losing pressure, heaters that short-cycle, automation that stopped talking to the app. We diagnose first and only replace what is actually failed.

05

Structural crack repair

Hairline crazing is cosmetic. Cracks that weep or run through the bond beam are not. We tell you which you have, then inject, stitch or rebuild the section as needed.

06

Plumbing & valve repair

Skimmer throats, return lines, main drains, stuck valves and failed unions. Most of it is fixable without cutting up the deck, and we say so when it is.

Warning signs

Worth a phone call this week.

Water level keeps dropping

More than a quarter inch a day, or the autofill running constantly, usually means a leak rather than evaporation.

Pump losing prime or running loud

Air in the pump basket, a grinding bearing, or a motor that trips the breaker — all repairable if caught early.

Tile or coping coming loose

One loose tile becomes ten once water gets behind it. Cheap to fix now, expensive to fix after a freeze.

Heater will not stay lit

Short-cycling, error codes, or no heat at all. Often a sensor or ignitor, not the whole unit.

Wet spots around the equipment pad

Dripping unions, weeping valves or a cracked filter tank. Small leaks here waste water and burn out pumps.

A crack you can feel with a fingernail

Surface crazing is normal. A crack you can catch a nail in deserves a look before it gets wider.

How it goes

Diagnose first. Then quote.

01
Tell us what it is doing

Call or text with what you are seeing — water loss, noise, an error code, a photo of the crack. Half the time we can tell you what it probably is before we come out.

02
Diagnose on site

We test rather than guess: pressure tests, dye tests, meter readings on the equipment. You get a straight answer on what is wrong and what is not.

03
Written repair quote

Itemized for the repair only. If we think the honest answer is that a part is at end of life, we say that too — but you decide.

04
Fix it and test it

Most repairs are done in a single visit. We run the system afterward, confirm the leak is stopped or the equipment is holding, and leave you with what we found.

Do the bucket test: set a bucket of pool water on a step, mark both levels, and check after 24 hours with the pump off. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, it is leaking. Anything beyond about a quarter inch a day in Central Texas summer is worth a call.

Yes. Most of our repair work is on pools built by someone else. We diagnose what is in front of us regardless of who built it.

Some can. Small surface cracks and many tile and coping repairs are done at or just below water level. Structural cracks, bond beam repairs and plaster patches need the area dry, which usually means a partial or full drain. We tell you which before we quote.

We diagnose first. A failed capacitor, seal or bearing is a repair. A motor with burned windings on a ten-year-old single-speed pump is usually worth replacing with a variable-speed unit that pays for itself in electricity. We give you both numbers and you decide.

Call or text with what you are seeing. Active leaks and equipment that has stopped running get scheduled first, usually within a few days. Cosmetic tile and coping work is scheduled around our build calendar.

It depends entirely on what is wrong, which is why we diagnose before we quote. You get an itemized written price for the repair itself after one visit. We do not bundle repairs into packages.
