Pool Maintenance and Repair

Pool maintenance and repair is an important part of owning a pool. You must ensure it remains safe and functions properly so you can continue to enjoy it.

Besides cleaning the pool and maintaining chemicals, you must check, replace or fix filters, pumps and heaters. You should routinely test the lines and ensure liners, lights, and covers do the job they are intended to do. 

So beyond our construction and renovation services, we offer seasonal pool service and repair to help you out. Truly a one-stop shop!

Pool Openings & Closings

Getting your pool ready for summer is an exciting but sometimes overwhelming task. Pool opening involves removing the cover and prepping the pool for the season. 

First, we will check for any damage and ensure the plumbing is in good condition. Then we confirm the filter and pump run correctly. Finally, we assess the water chemistry and add pool chemicals and treatments to get it up to the correct levels. 

Closing the pool at the end of summer is equally important. You must winterize your pool and equipment blowing out the lines to avoid damage from freezing.  We also remove any ladders, diving boards, and other accessories before installing winter or safety covers.

Leak & Pressure Testing

Routine pool leak and pressure testing help prevent costly and extensive damage by catching leaks early.  We identify and locate sources of water loss and ensure the structure of the pool is sound.

Inground pools require regular inspection of their filtration systems and any other parts that may experience a water loss. This helps ensure cracks, gaps or defects in the liner are identified and patched before they become bigger issues.

Above-ground pools can also be inspected for any leaks or signs of wear and tear. The integrity of the frame and plumbing components should be checked to make sure the pool is functioning correctly. A pressure test can help you detect any minor issues before they become major ones.

Pool Liner Repair & Replacement

Depending on how you care for it, a pool liner can last between 10 and 20 years. But with exposure to the sun, chlorine, and other elements, liners can start to wear down over time.

Fortunately, our experienced professionals can help you keep your pool looking its best by providing liner replacements or repairs.

Our team of professionals will assess the condition of your pool liner and test the condition of your plumbing. Then we will recommend the best course of action. We also evaluate the condition of your concrete beneath the liner in case concrete pool resurfacing is required.

Not all professional pool companies take this important precaution before beginning liner replacements. But we highly recommend doing so to avoid wasting time and money should we discover pool renovations are required later.

Safety Cover Installation

Pool safety covers are an important part of pool care. They protect your loved ones from potential danger when the swimming pool is not in use. Safety covers come in a variety of sizes and materials to best suit your pool’s needs. 

When choosing a safety cover, consider the size of your pool and the type of material you want. The most popular safety cover materials include mesh, solid vinyl, and hybrid vinyl-mesh. 

Mesh covers allow water to drain through while keeping dirt and debris out. Solid vinyl covers are great for winter months as they completely block sunlight and trap heat to prevent ice formation. Hybrid covers are a mix of both mesh and solid vinyl and offer a great balance between durability and lightness.

Once you have selected the right safety cover for your pool, professional installation is key to ensure proper fitting and security. Safety covers are designed to be locked in place with straps and anchors. Professional installers make sure the straps are correctly attached and secure. Anchors must be correctly embedded and any openings are closed securely.
