Equipment Repair in Westlake Hills, TX

Yes. The Pool Police has established weekly routes through every corner of Westlake Hills, including Davenport Ranch, the Camp Craft Road corridor, and the older Eanes-area neighborhoods. We're on the street week after week and have been since 2000.

It depends on how deep the deterioration goes. Surface stains, calcium nodules, and minor etching can often be managed for years with careful chemistry and targeted acid washing. Structural delamination or widespread pitting is a different story — we'll give you an honest assessment rather than pushing a renovation. Westlake Hills plaster surfaces commonly last 20–25 years before a full replaster is really necessary.

Austin Water supply to the 78746 zip code typically delivers calcium hardness of 180–260 ppm and total alkalinity of 80–120 ppm. The alkalinity pushes pH upward constantly, so we add muriatic acid on most visits to keep pH in the 7.4–7.6 target range. Older plaster surfaces tolerate this well as long as we don't let pH spike above 7.8.

A screeching pump usually means the bearings are failing. Turn the pump off to prevent further damage and call us. Bearing replacement is far less expensive than a new motor, but only if caught early before the shaft or windings are affected.

A standard single-speed pump motor lasts around 8 to 12 years in our climate. Variable-speed pumps tend to last longer because they run at lower RPMs. Proper chemical balance and regular service extend the life of any pump.

It depends on the age of the unit and the cost of the repair. As a rule of thumb, if the repair exceeds 50% of replacement cost and the unit is past its expected lifespan, replacement usually makes more sense — especially with newer energy-efficient options available.
