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.
- 01
Assess
We check the water table and shell condition — draining the wrong pool can pop it out of the ground.
- 02
Drain & treat
Controlled pump-out, then acid wash, repairs, or inspection while it's empty.
- 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

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.
