Living in Fort Lauderdale has its share of beautiful sunny days, but severe weather can occasionally disrupt our outdoor havens. Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton brought heavy rains, flooding and wind that caused considerable damage in the Sunshine State. It may have damaged your pool or spa, requiring immediate attention.
Somar Pools, LLC, understands how to assess and repair your pool and spa post-storm to save you time and money and ensure safety for your family and guests.
Assessing Damage
After severe weather, contact us to conduct a thorough assessment of your pool and spa area:
- Visual Inspection: We check for visible signs of damage such as cracks in the pool shell, broken tiles or loose coping stones. For spas, we ensure there are no damages to the shell or the surrounding area.
- Water Clarity: We also assess the water quality. After heavy rains, pools often become cloudy or even green due to debris and algae growth.
- Equipment Check: Our specialists examine all pool and spa equipment including pumps, filters, heaters and lights. We look for any signs of leaks or electrical damage, especially if water has accumulated around the equipment.
- Surrounding Area: We scan around for debris, fallen branches or sand that may have blown into the pool area. This not only affects aesthetics but can also obstruct circulation and filtration. Be sure to point out any damage or issues you have noticed post-storm when our specialist arrives for an inspection.
Necessary Repairs
Once we’ve assessed the damage, it’s time to tackle repairs. Here are some common issues we can handle after severe storms:
- Cracks and Damage: Small cracks in the pool shell can sometimes be patched with a plaster repair kit. Larger damages may require professional resurfacing or structural repairs. It’s essential to address these promptly to prevent further deterioration.
- Filtration System: If the filtration system isn’t functioning properly, it may be clogged with debris or affected by water damage. We will clean or replace filters as necessary, and check the pump and motor for any operational issues.
- Water Quality and Balance: After heavy rain, the chemical balance in your pool and spa can be thrown off. Our professionals test the water and adjust chemicals as needed. Shock treatment may be necessary to eliminate any lingering bacteria or algae.
- Electrical Repair: Our specialists can repair electrical equipment or recommend the best upgrades or replacements if they are damaged beyond repair.
