What a service call looks like

1

Call or Request Service

Tell us what the pool is doing and since when, and the brand of the equipment. A photo of the pad or the error code saves a trip.

2

On-Site Diagnosis

A technician tests the equipment, checks pressure, flow and water chemistry, and finds the cause, not just the symptom.

3

A Straight Recommendation

Repair or replace, and why. If the part is on the truck or on the shelf at Wright Plaza, the repair usually happens the same visit.

4

Back in the Water

We test the repair, check the water and tell you what to watch for.

What to have ready. The brand and model of the pump, filter or heater (a photo of the equipment pad does it), what the pool is doing and since when, the filter pressure, and whether anyone else has worked on it this season. Leave the gate unlocked and the pad reachable.

Pump and filter parts for Hayward, Pentair, Waterway and Polaris are on the shelf at 16902 Wright Plaza and in the online store for same-day pickup; anything else is ordered. Service routes cover Omaha, Papillion, La Vista, Bellevue, Elkhorn, Gretna, Bennington, Ralston, Millard, Springfield, Waterloo and Council Bluffs — see all areas served. Hot tubs get the same crew: hot tub repair in Omaha and hot tub service.

FAQs

Pool repair questions, answered.

What pool repairs do you handle in Omaha?

Pumps and motors, filters and sand changes, heaters, underground plumbing and lines, skimmers and main drains, leaks, vinyl liners, salt systems and chlorinators, lights, timers and automation, on inground and above-ground pools. Pool heaters, leak detection, liners and closings each have their own page.

Do you repair pools you didn't build?

Yes. Vinyl liner, gunite and fiberglass pools, inground and above-ground, whoever built them. If the equipment pad is unusual, send a photo with your request and the right parts ride along.

My pump won't prime or is loud. What is usually wrong?

A pump that won't prime is pulling air on the suction side: a low water level, a cracked lid or dry lid o-ring, a loose union, a clogged skimmer or pump basket, or a closed valve. A pump that screams is usually a motor bearing; one that drips at the back is a shaft seal. Check the water level and the baskets first, then call and we bring the parts.

Why is my pool losing water?

Omaha summers evaporate about a quarter inch a day off an uncovered pool. More than that, or a level that keeps dropping under a cover, is a leak. Do the 24-hour bucket test on our pool leak detection page and call with the two numbers; they tell us where to start.

Do you offer pool service and weekly maintenance in Omaha, NE?

Yes. Pool service in Omaha, NE is routine care, seasonal servicing and troubleshooting from one crew: maintenance plans built around your pool or spa with water testing and balancing, filter care, salt cell cleaning and spa draining and cleaning, on a schedule that fits. Request service and tell us what you want handled.

Do you repair cracks in a pool?

On a vinyl pool the cracks are usually in the steps, the skimmer or the coping, and those parts are repaired or replaced; a cracked liner is patched or, when it is brittle, replaced. On a gunite or concrete shell we look at the crack on site, tell you whether it is cosmetic or structural, and quote the repair. A crack that is losing water starts with leak detection.

Do you repair hot tubs and spas?

Yes, all major brands: heaters, pumps and jets, control panels and error codes, leaks, lighting and covers, with Sundance and Horizon parts stocked at the store and Wellis on the showroom floor. Hot tub repair →

Can I buy the part and fix it myself?

Yes. Pump and filter parts, skimmer baskets and lids, pool parts and covers, chemicals and test kits are on the shelf at 16902 Wright Plaza and in the online store for same-day pickup. Bring a photo of the part or the old part itself and the counter crew will match it.

Is water testing free?

Yes. Bring a sample of pool or spa water to the counter and we test it while you wait, then tell you exactly what to add and in what order. After a heavy rain, test before you add anything: what rain does to pool water.

Is pool repair included in an opening or closing?

No. Openings and closings are booked by the week on the opening & closing page (what each includes: pool opening · pool closing); repairs the crew finds (a pump, a heater, a liner) are quoted separately and scheduled with the service department, so the seasonal invoice holds no surprises.

Where do you repair pools?
