Benefits of Hiring Pool Service Professionals
There are numerous advantages to hiring our team of pool service professionals to open and close your residential or commercial pool. Our pool opening and closing services are designed to make maintenance easier for owners, taking some of the hassle out of routine care. Additionally, with the heavy use of chemicals for water treatments, you can count on us to be knowledgeable in pool chemical safety procedures.
Benefits of Spring Pool Opening Services
When a pool is opened incorrectly, it can cause costly damages. Hiring BBC Pool Service professionals to open your pool ensures timely care with zero added expenses that can be associated with improper handling. Additionally, we prepare a clean and clear pool upon opening, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor living area as soon as possible.
During our pool opening process, we remove your pool cover, fold it neatly, and store it where you please. We then start up your pool equipment, removing plugs and other parts, and install wall fittings, pool cleaner adapters, baskets, a chlorinator, and your ladders. To get your pool in tip-top shape, we also add chemicals, such as algaecide, stain and scale remover, and shock to the water. To finish up, we vacuum your pool’s floor (for an additional cost), examine equipment for proper operation, and test heaters (if applicable).
Benefits of Fall and Winter Pool Closing Services
Our team employs proper pool closing techniques, which help make the re-opening process much easier in the spring. Before closing, we ensure that the water is balanced and all contaminants are removed. This process of balancing the water keeps your pool cleaner during the off-season. Although some people may attempt to close their pool on their own, another advantage of using professional services is the added safety. BBC Pool Service securely applies the cover to help prevent pets and people from the dangers of unsecured pool covers.
When we perform a pool closing, we first lower your pool’s water level, below all plumbing lines and equipment. Then, we add a non-toxic antifreeze chemical to the lines to prevent freezing and install plugs and other parts. Next, we remove wall fittings and any baskets, as well as empty the chlorinator. We carefully clean filter grids and cartridges to ensure an easy opening in the spring. After closing off all heater gas valves and storing away ladders, we finish up by adding algaecide, stain and scale remover, and shock, along with securing the cover.
Customers who utilize B&B Custom Pools for opening and/or closing in the 2025 season qualify for service customer pricing. Non-Service Customers and first-time customers are required to have a credit card on file before a service call is made. If the customer signs up for a closing with B&B Custom Pools, a $100 credit will be given on the closing for the price difference.
Work orders are completed on an equipment-priority basis. Equipment necessary for pool function including pumps, filters, and controls are a priority. It may take several days up to a couple weeks for a technician to be available for non-essential equipment issues such as heaters, vacuums, and lights. If you believe your issue is an emergency, you may prepay for the service call with the emergency call add on to have one of our technicians come sooner or outside of our regular business hours. BBCP reserves the right to deny any emergency call based on scheduling and technician availability.
The initial service call is meant to diagnose the issue. If there is a simple repair or small part replacement that can be completed at the time of diagnosis and the labor is covered by the initial service call, the work will be done. Up to $200 in repairs will be completed without further approval. Over $200 will include a quote and will not be completed until the quote has been signed.
A 50% deposit may be required for large repairs or replacement equipment. If a deposit is required, it will be noted in the quote. Upon approval of the quote, an invoice for the deposit will be sent. Once the deposit is received, the parts necessary will be ordered and the work will proceed.
Equipment warranties will only be honored on equipment that BBCP regularly services. Labor charges may apply. Most manufacturers do not include labor in their warranties. Any labor to repair or replace equipment under warranty will be invoiced at the completion of the service.
Cancellation policy: If a service call is scheduled, it must be cancelled by 4:00 PM the night before it is scheduled. This is to ensure that it can be removed from the schedule. Any late cancellation will be subject to a $100 trip charge.
