When to Call a Pro

Weekly maintenance is the foundation: water testing, chemical adjustment, skimming, vacuuming, brushing, and equipment checks. Most homeowners use a service for opening and closing the pool each season, then either DIY weekly care or stay with the pro. Hot tubs need similar but lighter care — weekly water testing and quarterly drain-and-refill.

How to Choose

Pool installation is a major project — $30,000–$70,000 for an in-ground pool, $1,500–$6,000 for above-ground. Site prep, permitting, and finish material (plaster, pebble, tile) are the big cost drivers. Resurfacing every 10–15 years runs $5,000–$15,000. Hot tub installation is much simpler: $300–$1,500 for site prep and electrical connection on a pad you've already prepared.

Pricing Overview

When hiring, look for membership in the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) or your local equivalent, ask about response time for equipment failures (a broken pump in summer becomes urgent fast), and confirm they're licensed to handle electrical and plumbing connections.

Common issues we help solve

Pool Water Turned Green

Green pool water is almost always caused by an algae bloom triggered by low chlorine, poor circulation, or a clogged filter. Left untreated, algae can stain surfaces, damage equipment, and make the pool unsafe for swimming. A pool technician tests the water chemistry, shock-treats the pool, brushes and vacuums algae deposits, and balances pH and sanitizer levels to restore clear water.

Pool Pump Not Running

When the pool pump stops running, water circulation and filtration halt completely, allowing bacteria and algae to multiply within hours. The cause may be a tripped breaker, a burned-out motor capacitor, a seized impeller, or a failed motor winding. A pool technician diagnoses the electrical and mechanical fault, replaces worn components such as the capacitor, seal, or motor, and verifies the pump restores proper flow and pressure.

Pool Liner Tearing

A torn or punctured vinyl pool liner causes steady water loss, undermines the pool deck as saturated soil shifts, and allows algae to grow behind the liner where it cannot be treated. Tears occur from age-related brittleness, sharp objects on the pool floor, chemical imbalances that degrade the vinyl, or ice damage during winter. A pool and spa technician locates the tear with dye testing, patches small punctures underwater, or measures and installs a full replacement liner when the damage is too extensive to repair.

Pool water turning green

Green pool water is caused by algae growth, typically from insufficient chlorine levels, poor filtration, or unbalanced pH. While mild cases can be treated with shock treatment and brushing, severe algae blooms may require professional intervention including draining, acid washing, and chemical rebalancing. A pool technician can restore water clarity and set up a maintenance plan.

Pool pump not working

A pool pump that won't start, makes unusual noises, or doesn't circulate water properly can quickly lead to algae growth and unsanitary conditions. Common causes include a burnt motor, clogged impeller, air leak in the suction line, or a tripped breaker. A pool and spa technician can diagnose and repair or replace the pump.

Pool pump not priming

A pool pump that runs but fails to prime cannot circulate or filter the water, leaving the pool vulnerable to algae growth and chemical imbalances. Common causes include an air leak in the suction line, a clogged impeller, a cracked pump lid, or a low water level in the pool. A pool technician inspects the suction plumbing for air leaks, clears the impeller and strainer basket, replaces worn gaskets or a cracked lid, and verifies the pump achieves full prime with steady flow.

Hot tub not heating

A hot tub that runs its jets but fails to heat the water makes it unusable, especially in cooler weather. The problem often stems from a faulty heating element, a tripped high-limit sensor, low water flow through the heater, or a malfunctioning control board. A pool and spa technician tests the heater, sensors, and flow switch, replaces the defective component, and calibrates the thermostat so the tub reaches and maintains the set temperature reliably.

Cloudy pool water

Cloudy or milky pool water usually signals a chemical imbalance, poor filtration, or the early stages of an algae bloom. Left untreated, it can irritate swimmers' eyes and skin and mask hazards on the pool floor. A pool and spa technician can test the water chemistry, clean or replace the filter media, and restore crystal-clear water.

Green algae in swimming pool

Green, slimy water and algae growth on pool walls or floor indicate that the sanitizer level has dropped too low, the filtration system isn't running enough hours, or the pH is out of range. Left untreated, algae can clog the filter, stain the plaster, and make the pool unsafe to swim in. A pool technician can test the water chemistry, perform a shock treatment, brush and vacuum the surfaces, clean or backwash the filter, and adjust the chemical balance to prevent recurrence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • What pool and spa services do you cover?
    Weekly pool maintenance and chemical balancing, in-ground and above-ground pool installation, pool resurfacing, hot tub installation, and hot tub/spa repair (heaters, pumps, jets, shells).
  • How much does weekly pool service cost?
    $80–$200 per week depending on pool size and what's included. Chemical-only service is at the low end; full-service (chemistry + cleaning + equipment checks) is at the high end. Most homes pay $120–$160 for full weekly service.
  • When do I need to resurface my pool?
    Plaster pools typically need resurfacing every 10–15 years. Signs include rough patches, staining that won't clean off, visible aggregate, or persistent water-chemistry struggles. Pebble and tile finishes last 15–25 years. Don't wait until you see structural cracks.
  • How long does pool installation take?
    Above-ground pools: 1–3 days plus site prep. In-ground concrete pools: 6–12 weeks from dig to first swim. Vinyl-liner pools: 3–6 weeks. Fiberglass pools: 2–4 weeks. Permitting can add 2–6 weeks at the start.
