CLEANING

Pool draining

Safe, code-compliant draining that protects your shell and your water table.

THE CHECKLIST

What's included

Every line item, every visit — no vague 'full service' promises.

  • Hydrostatic pressure and water-table assessment first
  • Code-compliant discharge — never into storm drains
  • Submersible pump-out with flow monitoring
  • Acid wash or chlorine bath options while empty
  • Shell inspection for cracks, delamination, and staining
  • Refill coordination and full re-balance after
  • Start-up chemistry for fresh water (metal sequestering included)

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No surprises.

  1. 01

    Assess

    We check the water table and shell condition — draining the wrong pool can pop it out of the ground.

  2. 02

    Drain & treat

    Controlled pump-out, then acid wash, repairs, or inspection while it's empty.

  3. 03

    Refill & balance

    Coordinated refill with sequestered start-up chemistry so fresh water doesn't stain.

PRICING, HONESTLY

Custom-quoted, priced per pool.

We quote per pool, not from a rate card — size, condition, and visit rhythm set the price. A quick look is all it takes.

WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER

  • Pool volume
  • Whether acid wash or repairs are bundled
  • Discharge distance and permits required

QUESTIONS

Draining FAQs

Done wrong, yes — a high water table can float or crack an empty shell. We assess hydrostatic risk first and won't drain if conditions are unsafe.
