What should I do today if my pool pump is loud and leaking?

Turn the pump off right away to prevent motor damage and further water loss. Do not restart it until a pro has inspected it. Electrical components near water are a shock risk, so keep people and pets away from the equipment pad.

Is it a repair or a replacement?

A pump motor repair costs $50 to $300, including labor and materials. Replacing just the motor costs $65 to $650 when the rest of the pump is still in good condition. A full new pump costs $300 to $1,600 depending on power and type.

Who is allowed to work on pool electrical equipment?

HomeGuide says electrical work on pool equipment must be done by a licensed pool contractor. Texas does not issue a statewide pool contractor license, so pool work is controlled locally through permits and building departments. Ask the local building department which permits apply to your repair.

What should I check before hiring a pool pro in Lakeway?

Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work begins. Check whether the contractor holds a state Certified Pool Contractor class that fits the job. Class C covers non-structural repairs and equipment servicing, and cannot pull permits.

What to do next

Turn off the pump at the breaker and the on/off switch, then leave it off until inspected.
Ask the pro to test for a leaking shaft seal or cracked housing before quoting parts.
Verify the pro's state Certified Pool Contractor class on the state program or certification list.
Request a written quote that separates pump repair, parts, and labor so you can compare the $50 to $300 range.
