Fires

As the fires rage all over California we have received many calls about what to do about soot and ash in swimming pools. This collateral damage is minor compared to what many people are experiencing. Our hearts go out to all affected.

Swimming pools in fire areas will contain ash, debris, toxins and possibly firefighting chemicals. In areas very close to fire the pool may have to be drained and refilled. If you are lucky enough to just have residual ash, your claims will be quick and easy.

  • Remove all larger debris in the pool as soon as possible. Brush all surfaces thoroughly. Skim smaller material with a net.

Summer Pool Maintenance Tips

Swimming Pool Inspection Services gives you tips on keeping your pool in tiptop shape this summer.

Pool Maintenance During Summer Swim Season

Warmer weather and more frequent use can result in dirt, debris, and algae growth in a pool during the summer. Because of this it is important for homeowners to ramp up their pool maintenance routine during the summer by following these tips:

Algae and moss can grow in warm, wet environments, and a plastic or vinyl cover that’s left to bake in the sun can become brittle and easily end up tearing. Covers should be dried off and stored in a cool, dry place, out of the sun for the duration of the swimming season.
