The service call looks at the equipment pad as well as the pump so the recommendation addresses the problem we find.

What we fix
Pump problems worth reporting.
01
Leaks around the pump
Water at a lid or pipe connection is different from a leak between the pump and motor. The location and timing help identify which seal or component needs attention.
02
Starting and stopping problems
A failed start does not prove the whole pump needs replacing. The motor, electrical supply and controls need to be distinguished before the repair is quoted.
03
Changes in flow or noise
A screech can point to bearings, while a gravel-like noise can indicate too little water reaching the pump. Reduced circulation needs a check of the system, not just the motor.
How it works

A technician assesses the issue and gives you written findings with a parts-and-labor quote.
3
Approve the work
Review the recommended repair, timing and applicable warranty before work begins. You can decline the quote.
Repair work quoted for your approval
What to tell us about your pump
The model label, any displayed error and when the problem happens help us prepare for the visit. Note whether the pump starts at all, stops during its schedule, or runs with less flow than usual. A photo of the equipment pad can also help. You do not need to open the motor or electrical connections to request service.
Repair the pump or replace it?
A repair may make sense when the pump is otherwise in good condition. An older pump with several worn components needs a different assessment. We consider its age, condition and expected remaining life, then explain the repair and replacement options. A fixed percentage of the replacement price cannot make that decision for every pool.
Timing and approval
The diagnosis determines the parts and work required. We confirm parts availability and the repair schedule with your quote. The first visit may identify work that needs a return appointment. The service-call fee is credited toward the repair when Cabana takes on the work.
Pricing
Know the price before we knock.
Typical ranges across our California service areas
Prices vary by location, pool and service scope. Request a quote to confirm your price. Repairs and equipment installation require an assessment and a separate quote.
FAQ
Common questions about pool pump repair service.
Can't find what you're looking for? Talk to a real person.
The diagnosis determines the cost. A small component repair and a motor or complete pump replacement are different jobs. Cabana provides a written quote with parts and labor itemized before you approve the work.
Tell us about a new noise, a leak, a displayed error, repeated shutoffs or a change in flow. Include the pump model and when the problem occurs. These observations help with diagnosis; they do not establish which part has failed.
Contact the service team with the fault and the condition of the pool. Do not keep trying to run a pump that trips its breaker, leaks at electrical equipment or appears damaged. Ask for advice specific to your equipment while the repair is arranged.
Include the pump's brand, model and any displayed error when requesting service. The team confirms the work available for that equipment. A pump problem may involve the motor, drive or controls; the diagnosis comes before the repair quote.
We consider the pump's age, condition and expected remaining life. A repair can be worthwhile on otherwise sound equipment, while an older pump with several worn components may justify replacement. We explain both options where appropriate.
That depends on the fault and parts availability. The initial visit may establish the diagnosis and quote, with repair work scheduled after approval. Confirm the timing with the service team.

My pool pump broke down right at the start of summer in Rocklin, and I found Cabana Pool Service online. They were able to come out within 24 hours, diagnose the issue, and install a brand-new energy-efficient pump. The technician explained how to maintain it and even checked my filter system while he was here. My pool water has never circulated better. If you're in Rocklin, Blue Oaks, or Granite Bay and searching for trustworthy pool pump repair near me, I can't recommend Cabana Pool Service enough.

Just had Greg out to diagnose a lack of water flow through our pump and a leak on the outlet flange. Work was great and the pool was in running order in 30 minutes! Cabana Pool Service has been excellent each time we have needed support for diagnosing and fixing problems. We have a lot of confidence in their support.

Our ancient pool pump finally died and we asked Cabana for an estimate. Ron was over that very day and scoped out the situation, made a recommendation, which we accepted. Ryan and Greg figured out how to install a modern pump into a very old system-- and it fired up right away. They were great-- and fast -- in and out in about 90 minutes. It pays to go with guys who are experienced and can troubleshoot.

Our 23 year old beloved waterfall pump failed us so we called a few companies. Cabana Pool Service, Ron Cody, called us back quickly. I texted him some photos of our equipment and he was able to quote us quickly over the phone and that they could schedule us three days from then. Ryan and Greg arrived for the repair exactly when they said they would arrive and they promptly and professionally not only replaced our waterfall pump but also one of our pool lights. We are very happy with their work and would highly recommend. Thanks Ryan and Greg!
