Pump repair and replacement
Seals, bearings, motors and the suction-side problems that caused them.

Pool repair in Las Vegas
Most pool equipment does not fail suddenly. It tells you for weeks first, usually in a sound.
Pool Repair in the Las Vegas valleyThe calls split into two groups. Equipment that stopped, which is urgent and usually straightforward. And equipment that is still running while something upstream is wrong, which is where the expensive damage happens.
A pump running dry because of an air leak on the suction side sounds fine for a while and then destroys a seal, then a shaft, then a motor. A heater short-cycling on low flow reports no fault and quietly cooks its heat exchanger. A filter run past its pressure limit pushes debris back into the pool and loads the pump.
What we look at before quoting a part
Swapping the failed component without finding why it failed gets you the same call in eighteen months. If a pump seal has gone, we want to know whether the plumbing is drawing air. If a heater has failed, we want to know what the flow rate actually is.
That takes an extra half hour and it is the difference between a repair and a subscription.
The repairs that are urgent and the ones that are not
Urgent: anything electrical, anything leaking into the ground, a pump running dry, and a heater with a fault code it will not clear. Those get worse quickly and cheaply become expensive.
Not urgent: a cosmetic tile chip, a slow weep from a union, a controller that lost its schedule. Real, and worth fixing before it gets worse.
We will tell you which one you have on the phone rather than driving out to tell you in person.
Parts and honesty about them
Some equipment brands are well supported here and some are not, and on an out of production unit the availability of one seal can decide repair against replace. We would rather tell you the part is a two week wait from the distributor than fit something approximate and be back.
What this covers
What Usually Breaks, and Why Delay Costs More
Pumps, motors, filters, heaters, salt cells, automation controllers, lights, plumbing, valves, skimmers and surfaces all fail in predictable ways. A failing pump usually warns first with noise or a drop in flow. A small surface crack left alone becomes a leak, and a weak heater left running can damage the rest of the system.
Is It a Leak, or Is It Evaporation?
In summer a Las Vegas pool loses water to evaporation, and homeowners often call it a leak. A simple bucket test tells the two apart: fill a bucket with pool water, mark the water line on the bucket and on the pool, and leave both alone for a day without swimming or running the fill. If the pool drops noticeably more than the bucket, there is likely a leak to track down. If both drop by the same amount, the loss is evaporation.
Once the test points to a leak, a leak detection visit finds where the water is going before anyone breaks concrete. See leak detection.
Equipment in Desert Heat
An uncovered equipment pad in 110-degree ambient heat shortens the life of pumps, heaters and controllers. Shade or a cover reduces the load, and scheduled equipment service catches problems before they stop the pool. See equipment service.
Every part of the job, under one team
Heater repair
Ignition, flow and heat exchanger faults, with the flow rate checked rather than assumed.
Plumbing and leak repair
Cracked lines, failed fittings and the joints that open with ground movement.
Filter and valve work
Multiport valves, cartridges, laterals and the housings that crack under pressure.
Tile, coping and surface repair
Waterline tile, loose coping and the plaster failures that are still small enough to patch.
