We get it, pool problems are a real bummer. At WaterTex Pools, we’ve seen it all, from tiny leaks to big cracks in pools right here in Fort Worth. With over 25 years under our belts fixing pools across Texas, we know just what to do.
We work across Fort Worth, from the established pools in Ridglea Hills and Westover Hills to newer builds in the Alliance and Heritage. Whether your pool was built in 1975 or this year, we’ve seen the equipment, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it.
Our specialized services also encompass equipment repairs including pool heater repair, drain sump repair, and pool light repair and replacement.
Cracks and damage in your pool’s structure can turn into major issues. Knowing how to repair these problems is what we do best. Contact us today!
Fort Worth pools range from 1960s builds to systems installed last year, and we carry parts for both.
Older shells, and the ground they sit on, are where most of our leak and structural work comes from.
We work across all of Fort Worth, from pools built in the 1960s to systems installed last year. Here's a look at the areas we cover most frequently.
Neighborhoods: Ridglea Hills · Ridglea North · Ridgmar · Westover Hills · Crestline · Rivercrest · Monticello · Arlington Heights · Camp Bowie area
Some of the oldest residential pools in Fort Worth are in these neighborhoods. Homes in Ridglea Hills and Arlington Heights often have equipment that's been replaced once or twice since the pool was originally built. We see a lot of aging heaters, outdated plumbing configurations, and single-speed pumps that should have been swapped to variable speed years ago. Westover Hills and Rivercrest tend to have higher-end setups that have been maintained well but still need repair work as components reach end of life.
Neighborhoods: Tanglewood · Westcliff · Overton Park · Overton West · Colonial · Stonegate · Ryan Place · University area
Tanglewood and Colonial have pools dating back to the 1960s through the 1980s. Many have gone through multiple rounds of equipment upgrades. Stonegate and Overton Park skew newer with more current Pentair and Hayward systems. The mix of old and new construction in this part of Fort Worth means we show up prepared for anything from a 30-year-old Raypak heater to a recently installed IntelliCenter automation system.
Neighborhoods: Heritage · Sendera Ranch · Saratoga · Park Glen · Fossil Creek · Eagle Mountain · Haslet · Watersbend · Timberland
This is Fort Worth's fastest-growing area for pool ownership. Most pools here are 5 to 15 years old with relatively current equipment. The common calls we get from these neighborhoods are variable speed pump errors, salt cells that have stopped producing chlorine, and automation systems that aren't communicating properly. If your builder installed it and now nobody will come back to service it, that's where we come in.
Neighborhoods: Meadowbrook · Edgecliff Village · Benbrook-adjacent areas · Candleridge · Sycamore · Woodhaven
Solid pool neighborhoods with homeowners who want the problem diagnosed and fixed without a sales pitch. We handle a lot of straightforward pump replacements, filter repairs, and heater troubleshooting in these areas. No upsell, just the repair.
Neighborhoods: Mira Vista · Walsh Ranch · Montserrat · River Hills · Aledo-adjacent areas
These homes tend to have more complex pool systems: automation controls running water features, multiple pumps, in-floor cleaning systems, and integrated lighting. A general pool maintenance company isn't equipped to troubleshoot a Pentair IntelliCenter that's throwing fault codes or track down why one of three pumps keeps tripping the breaker. That's specialist work, and that's what we do.
A sample of the jobs we have completed across the city.
Losing water is the problem people describe. Finding out where it is going is the actual job. Evaporation, a leaking spa, a cracked underground line and a bad seal at the pump all look identical from the deck. On this Monserrat spa the leak was in the plumbing behind the stone, so a section of the facing came off to get at it. Nobody enjoys opening up finished stonework, which is exactly why you locate the leak properly first instead of guessing and taking apart the wrong wall. Finding it before you start opening things up is the whole point of pool leak detection.
Motors die of heat more than anything else around here. They sit in full Texas sun, run long hours through summer, and the bearings go long before the pump housing does. The warning is usually noise. A motor that has started to whine or rumble is telling you it has weeks left, not months. Replacing it at that point is straightforward. Waiting until it seizes on a July weekend is how you end up with a green pool as well as a dead pump. Catching it at the noise stage is what keeps a pool pump repair from becoming a replacement.
Coping is the edge you sit on and grab hold of getting out, so when it starts lifting or cracking it is a safety thing as much as a looks thing. Our ground moves a lot with the wet and dry seasons, and that movement works away at the joint between the coping and the shell until water starts getting behind it. Once it does, it takes the tile with it. Sorting the coping and sealing that joint properly is what stops a small repair turning into a tile job. Left long enough, pool coping repair turns into a tile job as well.
Filters get neglected because nothing dramatic happens when they are dirty. The pool just looks slightly dull and the pump works harder than it should, quietly costing you money every month. A proper clean means the assembly comes out and every surface gets washed down, not just a backwash. This Riverwood pool was well overdue. Twice a year is a reasonable rhythm for most pools around here, more if you have heavy tree cover. A clean is also when we spot the tears that turn into pool filter repair later on.
Sometimes the motor is not the only thing gone. When the wet end has cracked, the basket housing has warped, or the whole unit is old enough that parts are getting hard to find, replacing the pump outright is the cheaper answer over any sensible timeframe. This McPherson Ranch pool got a new Jandy. The upside of doing the whole unit is that you get current efficiency and a warranty that covers all of it, rather than a new motor bolted to a tired housing. Whether it is worth repairing or replacing is the first call we make on any pool pump repair.
Plumbing repairs are the ones people dread because they picture the whole deck coming up. Most of the time it does not come to that. The joints at the equipment pad take the most stress and see the most sun, so that is where a lot of failures show up, and that is all above ground. This Monarch Hills job was pipework at the pad. The bigger point is that a slow leak underground shows up on your water bill long before you see it anywhere else, so it is worth reading the meter. Most pool plumbing repair we do is at the pad rather than under the deck.
The booster pump only exists to drive your pressure side cleaner, and because the pool keeps filtering without it, people run them dry for months without realising. That is what kills them. If your cleaner has got sluggish or stopped altogether, the booster is the first thing to check, not the cleaner itself. This one at Harbour View Estates needed replacing outright. It is the same family of work as any other pool pump repair, just the smaller of the two pumps.
These two often fail together, and not by coincidence. A filter that has been left too long makes the pump push against a restriction for months, which runs the motor hot and shortens its life. So when we get called out for a dead motor and find a filter that should have been replaced years ago, doing only one of them is asking for a repeat visit. Park Glen got both, which is the fix that actually holds. Doing the pool filter repair at the same time is what stops the new motor going the same way.
Worth knowing what the noises mean, because they point at different parts and different bills. A hum with no rotation is usually electrical, often the capacitor. A grinding or rumbling sound while it runs is bearings. A motor that starts fine and then cuts out once it warms up is overheating, and the cause of that is frequently something else restricting flow. This Forest Hill call started with the homeowner describing a noise, which is a genuinely useful place to start. Describing the noise properly saves us time and saves you money on a pool pump repair.
Before you replace a cleaner that has stopped working properly, check the hose. They split at the connections, they go stiff after a few summers in the sun, and a small leak in the line means the cleaner never gets the pressure it needs to move around the pool. People replace whole cleaners over this. On this Lake Vista pool it was the hose, which is a far smaller job than the one the homeowner was expecting. Hoses and fittings are the cheap end of pool pump repair and always worth checking first.
“Water Tex Pools was used to repair an issue with a pool pump and timer via a home warranty company. I was not sure how good this company would be since the first company sent out refused to service the issue because of a few wasps flying around in the pool room. However, the person from Water Tex Pools arrived on time, and fixed both issues in about 25 minutes and the pump and pool timer have been working great since (almost a month). And, there were a couple of wasps that flew into the pool room during the repair and we both basically laughed at that one. These people will do great work with wasps or without wasps.”
