Pool Repair in Houston

We understand that some pool repairs can’t wait. Give us a call at (281) 730-9500 and we’ll get a technician out to your property as soon as possible to determine what is going on and to schedule any needed repairs so that everything will be up and running again. 

We can fix any type of problem you are having with any brand of equipment.

Some of the most common pool problems our technicians handle include:

• Cloudy or green pool water

• Pumps not properly circulating water throughout the pool

• Worn or damaged filters

• Water leaks or cracks in your pool’s plaster or caulking 

• Loud or noisy parts

• Replacing broken or damaged ladders, steps, pool lights or railings

• Balancing a pool’s chemistry

We can also perform seasonal maintenance to help you avoid costly repairs.

Our technicians will need to meet you at your home to gather the information we need to make our estimate. Once you agree to the repairs we recommend, we can return to service your pool at any time, as long as you let us know how to access your backyard and pets are left inside.  

Your pool will naturally lose about a quarter of an inch of water per week because of evaporation. If you notice your water level falling more quickly than that, perform this test:

• Add water to your pool until it reaches the normal level, which should be to the middle of your skimmer.  

• Put a bucket on your pool’s first or second step.

• Fill the bucket so that the water level inside and outside of the bucket are equal.

• Use a permanent marker to indicate where the water level should be inside of the bucket.

• Turn off your pump and place another mark on the outside of your bucket, along the water line.

• Turn your pump back on and wait 24 to 48 hours.

If the water level recedes along the outside of the bucket, you probably have a leak that requires the help of a professional.

Your pool pump plays an important role by circulating water through your filter and removing dirt and other types of debris. Although your pump isn’t completely silent, you may need to take a closer look if it suddenly begins to become louder. If your motor’s base is vibrating, try tightening the bolts holding the pump to see if that helps. You may want to add a rubber pad between the motor and the concrete pad to absorb any noisy vibrations coming from where these two parts meet. If neither of those fixes helps, make sure that large items aren’t wedged into your skimmer basket and that your pump strainer basket isn’t clogged with debris. If you continue to experience noise problems, call in a pro to investigate the issue further.

Just like your home’s air conditioner or appliances, newer pool equipment is more energy-efficient, which can reduce your utility bills over time. If you are trying to weigh the cost of repairs with replacing your pool equipment, our technicians will be happy to advise you on what option might be best for your particular situation. 

The color of your water can indicate you have a problem with your pool’s mechanical systems. Pool owners should first check to make sure that water is circulating properly and that pool chemicals are at manufacturer-recommended levels. Water clarifiers and enzyme digesters can help clear debris from your pool, which can help restore your pool’s color and improve the clarity. You may need to administer a shock treatment to reduce mineral buildup and to get your pool back into balance. If your pool keeps giving you trouble, you may need to have a professional evaluate what might be happening.

Over time, your plaster will begin to crack and chip. Since pool plaster helps protect your pool against leaks, you’ll want to address any plaster problems sooner rather than later. Depending on the extent of the problem, you may need to drain the pool, and in some cases it makes more sense to replaster the entire pool than to just address one area. ABC can help with your pool replastering and even help you remodel your pool

There are a number of things you’ll need to do to get your pool ready for swimming season. First, you’ll want to check your pumps to make sure they are priming, have no leaks and aren’t making excessive noise. Then, you’ll want to inspect your pool cleaner, skimmer baskets and your pool heater. You’ll also want to make sure your lights and electrical components are all working properly. After you test your pool’s chemicals to make sure they are all at recommended levels, you’ll want to perform safety checks to make sure your visitors will enjoy their time poolside without any hazards.
