Signs Your Pool Needs Professional Repair or Maintenance

Owning a pool brings endless enjoyment—especially during the hot Missouri summers—but like any major home feature, it requires consistent care. Whether you live in Jefferson City , Columbia , or near the Lake of the Ozarks , recognizing the early signs of pool issues can help you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your investment. At Firebird Concrete & Pools, we specialize in expert pool repair and maintenance to keep your water clean, your equipment running smoothly, and your summer stress-free.
One of the most common indicators your pool needs attention is cloudy or discolored water . This may point to an issue with your filtration system, chemical imbalance, or algae growth—each of which can be resolved quickly with professional help. If your water isn't sparkling clear, it’s time to schedule a service call. Another red flag is cracked or chipped pool surfaces . In concrete pools , damage can appear as cracks in the plaster, tile, or gunite shell. For fiberglass pools , look out for bubbling or blistering on the shell surface. These problems not only affect appearance but can also lead to leaks or structural issues if ignored.
Pay attention to how your equipment is running , too. If you notice weak water flow, strange noises from the pump, or poor circulation, it could indicate a malfunction in the filter, motor, or plumbing system. Delaying repairs to your pool equipment can result in higher energy bills or even full system breakdowns.
Leaks—whether visible or suspected—should always be addressed immediately. If you're constantly needing to top off your pool water, it may be more than evaporation. Our team can perform a detailed inspection to find and fix leaks in both fiberglass and concrete pools.
Routine pool maintenance services are the key to preventing these issues. Firebird offers year-round maintenance, including chemical checks, equipment inspections, and seasonal opening and closing services . Because we’re local and hands-on, we treat your pool like it’s our own.
Don’t wait until a small issue turns into a major headache. Whether you need a one-time repair or a long-term maintenance plan, Firebird Concrete & Pools is here to keep your pool safe, beautiful, and swim-ready all season long.
