WATER PUMP FIX & DIAGNOSIS
What’s included in a water pump rebuild, and will it run like new?
Every rebuild starts with a complete tear-down, cleaning, and inspection. We then machine or replace worn parts, including seals, bearings, and gaskets. The result? A pump that meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
Can you diagnose what's wrong before water pump repair?
Yes. Free diagnosis with every water pump fix. Our water pump rebuilders will assess damage and explain repair options. You can:
-
Bring your pump to 9431 Clay Road
-
Send photos to john@cwprebuilders.com
-
Call 713-864-5199
What's the most common issue?
Water pump seal failures that cause coolant leaks. If you spot one, shut the engine down immediately. Drain fluids, snap a few photos, and call us before it snowballs into major engine damage.
What are the signs of a bad water pump?
-
Leaks or overheating
-
Grinding noises
-
Loose pulley
-
Weak coolant flow
Why do marine water pumps fail more often?
Saltwater, sand, and poor maintenance. Staying on top of impeller changes and using the right seals keeps them going.
Are water pumps with cavitation damage repairable?
Yes. Minor cavitation damage can be repaired if the casting is sound. Severe pitting may require a replacement core, but we’ll guide you on the best path.
Can I rebuild it myself?
If you have a hydraulic press and professional tools, maybe. Most people save time and money by letting us handle the industrial water pump rebuilding.
