Pool Plumbing Services in Katy
A minor drip at the equipment pad can quickly escalate into major water loss or pump failure. We handle all above-ground plumbing repairs efficiently.
PVC Leak Repair
We cut out cracked, sun-baked, or poorly glued PVC pipes and fittings, replacing them with fresh, high-pressure Schedule 40 plumbing for a permanent seal.
Suction Leak Fixes
If your pump is struggling to prime or blowing bubbles into the pool, we track down the air leak on the suction side and seal it tightly.
Equipment Pad Re-plumbing
Messy, tangled plumbing restricts water flow. We can completely re-plumb your equipment pad to optimize hydraulics and reduce strain on your pump.
O-Ring Replacement
Dry, flattened O-rings in pump lids, filter bands, and unions are common leak sources. We replace and lubricate them to restore a perfect seal.
Visual Inspections
We thoroughly inspect all visible plumbing lines and valves around the equipment pad to catch minor drips before they become major blowouts.
Winter Damage Repair
Texas freezes can shatter exposed PVC. We quickly replace burst pipes and cracked filter housings to get your pool system running again after a hard freeze.
Pool Valve Repair in Katy
Diverter valves control the flow of water between your pool, spa, skimmers, and water features. Over time, the internal gaskets wear out, causing water to slip past the valve or leak out of the handle stem. If a valve handle becomes incredibly stiff or breaks off entirely, it needs immediate attention.
We can rebuild most 2-way and 3-way valves (like Jandy or Pentair) by replacing the internal diverter, cover O-rings, and stem seals. If the valve body itself is cracked, we will cut the old unit out and plumb in a brand new, high-quality valve to restore full flow control.
Schedule Valve RepairPool Skimmer Repair in Katy
A functioning skimmer is critical for pulling debris off the surface before it sinks. If the weir door (the flapper) is broken or missing, debris will simply float back into the pool when the pump turns off. We replace broken weir doors, cracked skimmer baskets, and damaged covers.
If the skimmer housing itself has separated from the pool tile line, it can cause a significant daily water leak. We can apply specialized underwater epoxy to seal minor separations, preventing water loss without requiring major deck excavation.
Materials We Work With
We exclusively use Schedule 40 PVC pipe and heavy-duty pressure fittings for all equipment pad repairs. We do not use thin-walled plumbing or temporary patch tape. All joints are properly primed and glued using high-strength PVC cement designed for wet, high-pressure environments.
For valves, we rely on industry standards like Jandy NeverLube valves and Pentair diverters, ensuring your plumbing repairs outlast the harsh Texas sun and constant water pressure.
How a Plumbing Repair Visit Works
We ensure a permanent fix with minimal downtime for your pool.
System Assessment
We turn on the pump and inspect the entire equipment pad to pinpoint the exact source of the leak, whether it's a pressure drip, a suction air leak, or a failing valve.
Clear Written Quote
Before cutting any pipes, we explain what needs to be replaced and provide a clear, no-pressure written quote for the repair.
Precision Repair
We cut out the damaged sections, plumb in the new fittings and valves, allow the PVC cement to cure properly, and then restart the system to verify it is completely leak-free.
Repair vs. Replace
When dealing with valves and unions, we always try to replace the internal O-rings and gaskets first, as this is a quick and effective fix for minor leaks. However, if the plastic housing has hairline cracks from age or winter freeze damage, rebuilding it will not stop the leak.
In cases where the PVC is brittle, scorched by the sun, or previously repaired with messy layers of glue, the only reliable solution is to cut out the bad section and install fresh pipe. We provide a free written quote after we see it, ensuring you only pay for the repairs you actually need.
