Fiberglass pools are a popular choice for homeowners due to their durability, low maintenance, and smooth surfaces. However, even the sturdiest pools may require occasional draining for repairs, cleaning, or maintenance. Draining a fiberglass pool is a task that needs to be handled with care to avoid damage or complications.
It is important to note that draining a fiberglass pool can lead to potential problems, such as hydrostatic pressure causing the pool to lift or crack. We are highly experienced and use high volume pumps when draining your pool. Assessment and stabilizing of the water table will be monitored while draining as well. Should the groundwater level rise above the bottom of the pool, hydrostatic pressure can cause your pool to lift or crack. This is why hiring a professional like Fiberglass Pool Doctor is crucial.
If it is determined water will be under the pool, a relief hole is drilled at the deepest point. Some pools require additional dewatering methods such as well pointing, but we will take all steps to protect your property and explain to you what will be required and if there will be additional costs.
