Pool Plumbing Repair in Plano, TX: Getting the Spa Jets Running Again
The owners of this Plano pool called because the spa jets weren’t running. The line that carries water to those jets was broken open, so the water never made it to the jets.
There was more than one leak on this system. Two of them were on the jet line, and those are the two we fixed.
The hard part was getting to the pipe. Under the pool deck there was a second layer of concrete, and the line ran through it. So we broke the deck, dug down, cut into that lower layer around the pipe, and made the repair right there.
Spa jets quit? Pool line broken?
We find it, open up only what we need to, and fix the line.

Step 1: Find the leaks on the jet line
Before any concrete comes up, we locate the leaks. This system had more than one. We pinned down the two on the spa jet line so we’d only open the deck where the repair had to happen.
Step 2: Break out the pool deck
The line runs under the deck right beside the spa, so the deck had to come out in that spot.
Step 3: Dig through the second layer of concrete
Below the deck we hit another layer of concrete with the pool lines running through it. We opened that concrete up around the line, carefully, so we could get our hands on the damaged pipe.
Step 4: Repair the line and put it back in service
With the pipe exposed, we repaired both leaks on the jet line and got the line back in service, so water could reach the spa jets again.
What a Homeowner Should Do First
- Note exactly what stopped. Which jets quit, and when did you first notice?
- Watch the water level. A pool or spa that keeps dropping can mean a line is leaking.
- Don’t start breaking concrete on a guess. Get the leaks located first, so only the right spot gets opened.
- Ask whether there’s more than one leak. A system can have several, and you want to know which ones are being fixed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would my spa jets stop running?
On this Plano pool, the line that feeds the spa jets was broken open, so the water wasn’t reaching the jets. Once we repaired the line, it went back in service.
Can a pool line be buried under more than one layer of concrete?
Yes. Here there was a second layer of concrete under the deck, with the line running through it. We opened that layer around the pipe to reach it.
How much did this pool plumbing repair cost?
Leak location was $239 to $639, and the repair of the 2 leaks was about $3,200.
Why was the leak location price a range?
Because there were multiple leaks on this system. Finding more than one takes more time.
Do you have to break the pool deck to fix a pool line?
On this job, yes. The jet line ran under the deck and through a second layer of concrete, so both had to be opened where the repair was.
Can a pool line have more than one leak?
Yes. This one had more than one, and we repaired the 2 on the spa jet line.
What should I do if my spa jets stop working?
Note which jets stopped and when, keep an eye on the water level, and get the leaks located before anyone breaks concrete. Call or text 972-333-5448.
