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 Richardson. With over 25 years under our belts fixing pools across Texas, we know just what to do.
We work across Richardson, from the established backyards in Canyon Creek and J.J. Pearce to the classic ranch homes in Duck Creek and Heights Park. Whether your pool was built in 1968 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!
Four in ten Richardson homes went up in the 1970s, so a lot of pools here are on their second or third round of equipment.
Fifty year old shells and original plumbing make this one of the places we do the most leak work.
We've been repairing pool equipment across Richardson for over two decades. Richardson exploded from a small farming community to a city of 56,000 by 1972, and 40% of the homes here were built during the 1970s boom. That means a huge number of pools in this city are 45 to 55 years old. And the equipment has been replaced, patched, and upgraded multiple times. We know what's behind these equipment pads because we've been working on them for years.
Neighborhoods: Canyon Creek · Knolls of Canyon Creek · The Crown · Cottonwood Creek · Estates of Prairie Creek · Pitman Creek · Canyon Creek Country Club area
Canyon Creek is Richardson's premier neighborhood, with homes dating from the late 1960s through new construction still going up today. The older sections have pools that have been through two or three rounds of equipment replacement. We see everything from legacy Sta-Rite and Purex setups to brand-new Pentair IntelliCenter systems installed during renovations. The homes near the country club and Prairie Creek tend to have larger pools with dedicated spa equipment and gas heaters. The newer custom builds mixed in among the originals often have modern automation, but the plumbing underneath is still tied to 50-year-old shells.
Neighborhoods: J.J. Pearce · The Reservation · Mohawk Elementary area · Fairways of Sherrill Park · Sherrill Park North · Foxboro
J.J. Pearce was built in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with pools that are now 40 to 45 years old. Most have been through at least one full equipment replacement. The Reservation next door has a mix of 1960s pier-and-beam homes alongside newer construction, so the pool equipment ranges from recently installed Pentair variable-speed setups to aging Hayward systems that need attention. We work this area regularly and carry the parts for both legacy and current equipment common in these neighborhoods.
Neighborhoods: Greenwood Hills · Northrich · Arapaho · Arapaho Heights · Dallas North Estates · Richardson Heights · Yale Park
These are Richardson's core 1960s and 1970s neighborhoods, the era when the city's population boomed and pools went in by the thousands. Most homes here are classic Texas ranch-style on slab foundations, and the pools match the era. We regularly replace original single-speed Hayward and Sta-Rite pumps, swap out failing Teledyne Laars and Raypak heaters, and upgrade old timeclock-and-relay setups to modern automation. If your pool equipment pad looks like a museum of different decades, we've seen it before.
Neighborhoods: Duck Creek · Crowley Park · Highland Terrace · Mark Twain · Richland Park · Buckingham
South Richardson runs along Belt Line Road and US-75, with classic ranch homes primarily built in the 1960s through 1980s. Duck Creek has about 1,450 homes, mostly 1970s and 1980s builds on quarter-acre lots with pools that have been through decades of North Texas summers. We handle everything from corroded underground plumbing repairs to full equipment upgrades in this part of town. Mark Twain's 1960s ranch homes often still have original pool shells in great shape, but the equipment is long overdue for replacement.
Neighborhoods: Heights Park · Owens Park · Stratford Estates · Town North Park · Clear Spring Place · Forest Hills
Heights Park and the west side of Richardson feature some of the city's oldest homes, dating to the 1950s and 1960s. Pools here have been around long enough that we're sometimes working on third-generation equipment installed on shells that are older than most of the technicians in this industry. Owens Park's 1970s to 1980s homes have spacious lots with pools that are approaching their second or third major equipment overhaul. Common jobs include variable-speed pump conversions, filter replacements, and heater upgrades on systems where the original gas lines and plumbing are still in place.
Neighborhoods: University Estates · University Estates North · Breckinridge · Waterview · Spring Park · Berkner Park area
Northeast Richardson sits near the University of Texas at Dallas and saw most of its development from the late 1970s through the 1990s. University Estates homes were built between the late 1970s and late 1980s, with pools that are now 35 to 45 years old and hitting the point where major equipment replacement makes more sense than another repair. Breckinridge is one of the larger neighborhoods in this area with homes ranging from traditional brick to larger custom builds, the pool equipment varies just as widely. We see a lot of salt system conversions and automation upgrades in this part of town as homeowners modernize aging setups.
Recent repair work from around the neighborhoods here.
A pool light that has gone dark is one of those jobs people put off, usually because they assume it means draining the pool. It does not. The fixture pulls out on its cord, which is left long enough to bring the whole thing up onto the deck and work on it dry. This one was at a home in Windsor Estates. If yours has been out a while it is worth having someone check the housing and the seal at the same time, because water getting in behind the lens is what took the old one out. Checking the housing and the seal is part of every pool light repair we do.
“First of all I love that the appointment was scheduled for a Saturday and the time window was 8-12 with a text letting me know he was on his way and another that let me see exactly where he was on his route here. He arrived at 9 and was very professional & definitely knowledgeable answering all my questions. He took care of the repair quickly and efficiently. I’ve definitely saved his contact info & will be referring him to people in my neighborhood.”
