Before you hire

- • We're a matching service, not a leak-detection specialist — we connect you with a pro who can actually diagnose it.
- • This site is for repair, equipment, and honest leak help — not new pool construction.

What's Going On With Your Pool?
Ranked by how much waiting actually costs you — from "call today" down to "get to it this season." Pick what matches, and we'll route you to the right page and the right kind of contractor.
-
Losing Water / Possible Leak
Water level dropping faster than evaporation explains, wet spots in the yard, or a damp equipment pad.
If you wait: A pump starved of water can burn out fast, and a slab or plumbing leak tends to get more expensive the longer it runs.
National benchmark (not Reno-specific — RENO-040): detection $100–$1,000+, repair $250–$1,500+ (major cases to $5,000). See leak help options → -
Pump or Filter Not Running
Pump won't turn on, hums or grinds without spinning, or the filter pressure gauge never moves.
If you wait: Go more than a day or two without circulation in Reno's summer heat and water quality can turn fast — and some pump motors are damaged by running dry.
National benchmark (not Reno-specific — RENO-040): pump repair $100–$700 (avg. $350); motor replacement up to $700. See pump & filter repair → -
Green or Cloudy Water
Water looks hazy or green-tinted, or you can't see the bottom step.
If you wait: Usually traces back to a circulation or filtration problem, not the water itself — worth ruling out before assuming it's a one-time chemical fix.
National benchmark (not Reno-specific — RENO-040): pump/filter service typically $100–$700 once traced to circulation. Check pump & filter causes → -
Heater Not Heating
Heater runs but the water never warms up, short-cycles, or won't ignite.
If you wait: Rarely an emergency, but a gas heater cycling oddly is worth having looked at before you depend on it.
National benchmark (not Reno-specific — RENO-040): heater repair $166–$799 (avg. $477). See heater repair options → -
Spa / Hot Tub Issue
Weak jets, a spa that won't heat, or the spa side of a combo pool/spa system acting up.
If you wait: Usually lower stakes than a full pool issue — but worth a look before the season you'd actually use it.
National benchmark (not Reno-specific — RENO-040): spa/hot tub repair $181–$567 (avg. $350). See spa & hot tub repair →

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair pools yourselves?
No. Reno Pool Repair Pro is a free referral service, not a pool repair company. We never touch a wrench or diagnose your equipment ourselves — we connect you with independent, licensed local pool contractors, and you choose who to hire.
Do you do leak detection?
We don't perform leak detection ourselves. We match you with an independent contractor who can properly diagnose a suspected leak — see our leak help page for what to expect before that visit.
How do I verify a contractor's Nevada A-10 license?
Search the contractor's name or license number at the Nevada State Contractors Board's public lookup (https://app.nvcontractorsboard.com). Confirm the license is active and classified A-10 (Commercial and Residential Pools) before signing anything.
What if I just need weekly cleaning, not a repair?
This site focuses on repair, equipment, and diagnostic help — pump, filter, heater, and leak issues — rather than routine weekly cleaning routes. If your pool also needs regular service, mention that when you get matched and we'll note it.
How fast can someone come out?
That depends on the contractor and how urgent your issue is — a losing-water or no-circulation problem typically gets prioritized over a routine heater checkup. Tell us what's going on and we'll flag the urgency when we make the match.
