When Selecting A Pool Service Dallas Homeowners Should Remember These Points

By Essie Craft


While a swimming pool brings a lot of enjoyment to those who own one, their care also entails much work to keep them running well. By enlisting the assistance of a pool service Dallas customers can eliminate the need to carry out this responsibility on their own. Not every company offers the same quality of work however, so it is wise to keep these points in mind.

Personal recommendations are the ideal way to find a reliable maintenance company. If people one knows can recommend one they are pleased with, this is usually a safe bet, it's even advisable to stop by and watch the company working sometime if possible to see for oneself. Likewise, if there is a company which is best avoided, they can also make one aware of it.

Sometimes it isn't possible to get a personal referral, in which case the customer must choose potential companies from another source such as the phone book or the internet. When contacting these businesses, one must be sure to ask for contact numbers of several references. Calling at least three or four of these people and finding out how long they have used this service, and if they are thorough, punctual, and professional can be helpful.

Choosing a company which has been in operation for at least two years is best. This industry has a fair number of unqualified, fly-by-night technicians who have no solid experience or reputation, whom are best to steer clear of. It's even better to select a company which is a member of a professional association known for its high standards in business ethics.

Any company must have all the proper equipment, and also be appropriately licensed and insured. Basic cleaning itself does not require a license, but a service will need one which meet local requirements if they are repairing any electrical or mechanical components on the pool. Insurance is necessary too in the event that one's property became damaged while maintenance was being done.

Price estimates should always be free, and it is the responsibility of the business to clearly state which services are included for the price paid. In most cases a monthly fee is incurred, and it is wise to wait before signing any long-term contract until the company has proven themselves worthy of continuing to do business with.

A standard service plan will cover keeping the pool looking its best and containing a safe balance of chemicals. The technicians will perform routine water tests and add chemicals, they will clean filters, vacuum the bottom, and skim the surface. Checking to ensure efficient operation of all equipment is another task they will perform. The fee paid by the customer should include all chemicals and at least a weekly cleaning.

When choosing the best pool service Dallas customers should also find out if they offer extra assistance such as emergency repairs or algae treatment. With any company it will be necessary for customers to do their part to ensure the measures taken by the maintenance service will be effective, such as keeping the pool at the recommended water level. The technician will let the customer know what his or her responsibilities are in this respect.
