Why Quality Pool Repair Matters
Pools are subject to constant stress: water pressure, chemical balancing, ground shifts, weather, and daily wear. Over time, common issues like leaks, cracked plaster, failing equipment, or tile and coping damage can appear. Neglecting these can lead to:
-
Structural damage and worsening cracks
-
Higher utility bills from water loss
-
Poor circulation or filtration inefficiencies
-
Safety hazards like loose tiles or uneven surfaces
-
Reduced property value and aesthetic appeal
By addressing these problems promptly, you preserve the life of your pool, save money in the long run, and maintain a beautiful, functional backyard retreat. That is exactly what drives our mission at Backyard-A-Gan.
Our Pool Repair Services: What We Do
On our pool repair page, we outline a comprehensive set of repair offerings. Below, we present each service, explain what it involves, and show how we deliver top-tier results.
Leak Detection & Repair
One of the most critical repair services is detecting and repairing leaks. A leaking pool, even a slow one, can lead to big problems over time. Our team uses proven detection methods like pressure testing, dye testing, and electronic leak detection to pinpoint even elusive leaks.
Once the leak is located, we provide repair options tailored to your pool type and site conditions. We take care to minimize disruption, seal cracks or joints with appropriate materials, and ensure a watertight, durable solution.
Crack & Structural Repair
If your pool shell has cracked or structural damage has occurred from settling soil or external forces, we step in with structural repair methods. This includes patching cracks using structural epoxy or hydraulic cement, reinforcing weakened areas, addressing delamination or separation between shell layers, and restoring integrity and strength.
We treat structural repair with the seriousness it demands—our goal is a permanent fix, not a temporary patch.
Tile, Coping & Deck Repair
The interface between the pool shell and decking is critical and visible. Over time, tile, coping, or the deck surrounding the pool may shift, crack, or become loose. Our repair services include replacing broken or missing tile, re-grouting or re-cementing loose coping, repairing or leveling adjacent concrete or deck surfaces, and matching textures, colors, and finishes for seamless visual integration.
These repairs improve both aesthetics and safety, preventing sharp edges or tripping hazards.
Plaster / Interior Surface Repair
Pools with plaster, aggregate, or pebble finishes sometimes develop pitting, scaling, or worn spots. We provide interior surface repair including replastering damaged areas, spot repairs to eroded or rough patches, and matching surface texture and color blends to ensure a smooth, comfortable, and waterproof interior.
If large areas are compromised, we may recommend full resurfacing, which you can learn more about on our pool company services page.
Equipment & System Repair
A pool is more than water and shell—it relies on pumps, filters, heaters, valves, automation systems, and circulation hardware. Our repair capabilities in this domain include diagnosing pump or motor failures, servicing or replacing filters, repairing heater elements, fixing or replacing valves and controllers, and ensuring smooth integration with automation and control systems.
We emphasize long-lasting solutions by using quality components and professional installation practices.
Heater & Automation Repair
When your pool has heating or automation features like temperature control or smart scheduling, issues in these systems are especially frustrating. We repair heat pump or gas heater malfunctions, sensor failures, automation modules, wiring faults, and integration issues between the control hub and peripheral devices.
By repairing your automation setup properly, your pool works smarter, not harder.
Replastering & Resurfacing
If interior surfaces are extensively worn or damaged, a full resurfacing or replastering may be the most effective option. In this service, we remove or prepare the existing surface, repair cracks or structural flaws first, apply the new surface, and finish to a smooth, aesthetically pleasing, waterproof standard.
This transforms an aging pool into a refreshed showpiece. We explain more about resurfacing in our resurfacing service pages and on our pool company services page.
Our Approach: Diagnosing, Repairing, and Restoring
We believe exceptional outcomes require a thoughtful, disciplined process. Here’s how we approach each repair engagement:
1. Thorough Inspection & Diagnostics
We begin with a free onsite evaluation. A skilled technician assesses the entire pool system—shell, plumbing, equipment, visuals, and performance. We use tools such as pressure gauges, dye tests, electronic leak detectors, and structural probes.
2. Customized Repair Plan & Estimate
Once we’ve assessed your pool, we produce a tailored plan with repair options, cost estimates, timelines, and expected results. You’ll always know what we intend to do before we begin.
3. Preparation & Site Setup
Before repair work begins, we protect surrounding surfaces, landscape, and equipment. We stage tools carefully to minimize disruption. For subsurface work, we coordinate safe and efficient excavation, take protective measures, and plan for proper backfill.
4. Precision Repair Execution
Our technicians are trained and experienced. Whether we’re injecting epoxy into cracks, applying new plaster, replacing a pump or tile, or correcting structural defects, we execute with precision, quality materials, and industry-standard practices.
5. Testing & Quality Assurance
After repair work is complete, we rigorously test all systems—pressure tests, leak checks, operation of equipment, water circulation, heating, and automation. We ensure your pool is fully watertight and performing as expected.
6. Final Clean-Up & Customer Walkthrough
We restore the site, then walk you through what was done, what to look for going forward, and how to care for your pool. We want you to feel confident in the repair results.

FAQs on Pool Repair
Q: How do I know if my pool has a leak or just evaporation?
A: We perform leak detection tests to distinguish between natural evaporation and structural leaks.
Q: Is a small crack worth repairing?
A: Absolutely. Small cracks can expand over time. Early repair is far cheaper than letting damage propagate.
Q: Can you repair my pool while it’s partially filled?
A: In many cases, yes. But some structural or resurfacing work requires full drainage; we’ll plan accordingly and safely.
Q: How often should I resurface my pool?
A: Depending on finish type and maintenance, typically every 10–20 years. But we inspect conditions and recommend when the timing is right.
Q: Do you handle insurance claims?
A: Yes, for damage due to covered events like storms or ground movement. We can help document repair estimates and coordinate with your insurer.
