Your Swimming Pool Repair questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does it cost to repair a swimming pool near me?

Swimming pool repair costs $50 to $1,700, depending on the pool type and severity of the damage. Above-ground pools are cheaper to repair since they are smaller and have fewer components than inground pools with more parts to troubleshoot.

There are lots of working parts in a swimming pool that can break down over time. Replacement parts are costly, so technicians that are skilled enough to repair parts will save you money. For example, repairing a water pump costs $50 to $300, but replacing a pool pump costs $300 to $1,600. If the pump is unable to be fixed, finding a pump of the same size and model eliminates the need for plumbing or electrical work, which will save you money on costly replacement.

Who fixes pool equipment?

A pool equipment repair technician specializes in repairing pool equipment such as pumps, filters, heaters, and lights. They also help diagnose and repair minor and major leaks, replace cracked or missing deck and pool tiles, and patch torn liners.

Electrical work on pool equipment must be done by a licensed pool contractor. There are several types of licenses carried by pool contractors. A Certified Pool Contractor (CPC) holds a state license in one of three categories:

  • Class A is an unlimited license for any work on commercial and residential pools.
  • Class B licenses are restricted to residential pool building and major repairs.
  • Class C licenses are limited to the non-structural repairs and equipment servicing of pools. They cannot build a pool or pull a permit.

What do I do if my inground pool is leaking?

If your inground pool is leaking, call a repair technician immediately. Pools are designed to be watertight, but sealants break down over time and pools settle causing small cracks in the shell. Pools can also leak through fittings, accessories, plumbing, and equipment.

It is important to repair leaks to save water, heat, and chemicals, but also to prevent damage to structural components. A severe leak can wash away the fill dirt that supports the pool walls and pool deck.

How can I save money on pool repair and running costs?

A poorly maintained pool is more expensive to run and repair since the pump has to work harder and fails sooner. To save money on your pool repair and running costs:

  • Balance your pool chemicals often.
  • Schedule routine cleaning and maintenance services to keep your pool clean and free of debris.
  • Use a solar cover to heat the pool and reduce evaporation.
  • Install a variable-speed pump that uses less energy than a traditional pump.
  • Upgrade to energy-efficient pool lights.
  • Winterize your pool if you live in a cold climate.

What questions should I ask when hiring a pool repair service?

When hiring a swimming pool repair service, it is important to choose a highly-trained repair service you trust. Asking these important questions can help you select the right service for you:

  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • What are your repair rates?
  • Do you guarantee the repair, and for how long?
  • What are your hours of operation?
  • What are your payment terms?
  • Do you have a list of references with contact details?

How do I choose the best pool repair near me?

Choosing a pool repair company is an important decision. A quality pool repair can save you lots of money and keep your pool working for years to come. Follow these recommendations to select the best pool repair near you:

  • Ask for referrals from your pool builder or local pool supply store.
  • Search on HomeGuide for pool service technicians with great reviews in your area.
  • Ask for detailed estimates for repairs and maintenance services.
  • Ask about their availability for emergency repairs.
  • Negotiate a payment plan for larger repairs, do not pay for repairs before the work is done.
