• How much does a repair cost?
  Each repair varies from pool to pool.  We are competitively priced with no hidden costs.  The price we quote you includes labor, materials and taxes.  Plus with eliminating the need to drain your pool, there are no expenses to refill the pool and chemical startups, which saves at least $200!

• Why shouldn’t I drain my pool?
  Draining your pool could damage the existing plaster!  We live in sunny, southern California.  After draining a pool and exposing it to just a few hours of sunlight could lead to additional cracks and blisters in the plaster.

  California is in a drought!  The average in-ground pool holds around 20,000 gallons of water.
  Draining this much water is equivalent to:

  • 869 Loads of Laundry
  • 7,692 Toilet Flushes
  • 2,222 Dishwasher Cycles
  • 213,333 Bottles of Beer!!!

• How do I know if my pool is leaking?
     Perform a bucket test as follows:
  

  • Shut off pool skimmer.
  • Place a bucket on the first or second step of the pool and fill the bucket with pool water, so that the water line of the bucket and the pool matches.
  • Mark the water level inside the bucket.
  • Mark the pool water level on the outside of the bucket.
  • Turn on pool skimmer.
  • Examine pool levels 24-48 hours later.  If the pool water level is lower than before, then there is probably a leak.

• How long will my pool repair take?
  Most repairs, including cracks, rusted rebar, main drain replacement and leak detection can be finished in one day.  Bigger projects, such as a skimmer replacement, take 2-3 days.  At the initial consultation, our technician can give you a time estimate, custom to your repair needs.  In the mean time, check out our results!
