Swimming pool contractor in Burlingame, CA

A pool start up covers water chemistry balancing, filter cleaning or backwashing, equipment inspection, and a check of all lights and fittings. In Burlingame, pools that sit through the cooler months often accumulate algae and debris and need more chemistry work than pools in warmer inland cities. We go through the full system before declaring the pool ready for use.

Most Burlingame pools benefit from weekly service during the swim season to maintain water chemistry and keep the filter and skimmer clear. Pools in shaded yards or near trees may need more frequent attention due to debris load. We assess each pool's specific conditions and recommend a service schedule that keeps the water clean and the equipment running properly.

Most 1960s pools in Burlingame are worth remodeling rather than replacing, provided the shell is structurally sound. Interior resurfacing, replumbing, and equipment replacement can bring an older pool up to current standards at significantly lower cost than demolition and new construction. We inspect the shell and plumbing first to confirm the structure is worth investing in.

Yes. We use pressure testing on the plumbing lines and dye testing at fittings and the shell to locate leaks without draining the pool. Most leaks in Burlingame's older pools are in underground return lines or at aging fittings, and we can isolate those without a full drain in most cases.
