Pump Repair Questions, Answered
These are the questions that come up at the pump bench. One exception: a plant pump that has just failed in an emergency does not belong in an FAQ at all — that goes straight to the rush line on (949) 400-2937. Everything else is covered below.
Honest answers · Fontana, CA
The essentials, briefly
From Fontana we rebuild vacuum, slurry, hydraulic and industrial process pumps, machining worn parts in our own shop, putting every rebuild through a test before it leaves, and staffing a rush line around the clock for breakdowns that stop production. Inspections and quotes carry no charge, and standard hours are Monday–Friday, 6 AM–5 PM.
Pump repair questions · Fontana, CAEight steps, every single job
Whichever pump you bring us, it travels the same eight stages from first call to tested return.

The questions themselves
Which pumps does the shop rebuild?
Vacuum pumps in liquid ring and rotary vane form, slurry and dewatering units, hose pumps, twin-screw pumps and hydraulic pumps in every configuration.
Are rebuilt pumps tested?
Always — running a pump on test before release is a fixed stage of the process, never an optional extra.
The parts for my pump are discontinued. Is a rebuild still possible?
In many cases it is — our machine shop manufactures shafts and restores components that are no longer available to buy.
Can you handle a pump emergency?
Yes — emergency and rush pump cover runs 24 hours a day, on every day of the year.
How do I choose between repairing and replacing?
Where the casing and core remain sound, a rebuild typically delivers full performance again for less than the price of new — and frequently sooner. The free inspection lays out both figures honestly so you can decide.
