One-Time / Deep Pool Cleaning
Transform your neglected or cloudy pool into a sparkling clean oasis with our comprehensive deep cleaning service
Sometimes your pool needs more than regular maintenance. Maybe you just moved into a new home and the pool has been sitting unused. Maybe you skipped a few months of service and the water looks cloudy. Or maybe you are planning a big party and want your pool looking its absolute best. That is where our one-time deep cleaning service comes in.
Our deep cleaning service is a complete top-to-bottom restoration that brings your pool back to pristine condition. We spend extra time on every detail, removing stubborn stains, scrubbing every surface, and balancing your water chemistry from scratch. This is not a quick maintenance visit. This is a thorough deep clean that gets your pool ready for regular use or prepares it for ongoing weekly service.
What Our Deep Cleaning Includes
A deep cleaning is much more intensive than regular weekly maintenance. We take the time to address every part of your pool and get it back into shape. Here is exactly what we do:
- Complete Debris Removal: We remove all leaves, twigs, dirt, and floating debris from the entire pool surface and bottom. If your pool has been sitting for a while, we will need to remove layers of decomposed material that regular skimming cannot handle.
- Thorough Vacuuming: We vacuum every inch of your pool floor, walls, and steps multiple times to remove all settled dirt and sediment. Neglected pools often have a layer of fine debris that requires extra passes to fully remove.
- Intensive Brushing: We scrub all pool surfaces with professional brushes designed for your specific pool finish. This loosens algae, dirt, and buildup that has adhered to your walls and floor over time.
- Filter Deep Clean: We remove and thoroughly clean your filter media or cartridges. A dirty filter cannot clean your water effectively, so this step is essential for bringing your pool back to life.
- Skimmer and Pump Basket Cleaning: We empty, clean, and inspect all baskets and ensure your circulation system is working properly. Proper flow is critical for chemical distribution and filtration.
- Comprehensive Water Testing: We test all aspects of your water chemistry and create a detailed plan to bring everything into proper balance. Cloudy or neglected pools often have multiple chemical imbalances that need careful correction.
- Full Chemical Balancing: We add the necessary chemicals to restore proper sanitizer levels, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabilizer levels. This may require multiple chemical additions over several days for severely imbalanced water.
- Equipment Inspection: We check all your pool equipment and let you know if anything needs repair or replacement. Many pool problems are caused by equipment that is not working correctly.
When You Need a Deep Cleaning
You might be wondering if your pool needs a deep cleaning or if regular service would be enough. Here are the most common situations where a one-time deep cleaning makes sense:
Moving Into a New Home
When you buy a house with a pool, you often inherit months or years of neglect. The previous owners may have let maintenance slide, or the pool may have sat empty during the sale process. A deep cleaning gets your new pool into great shape so you can start enjoying it right away. Visit our homepage to see how we help new homeowners get started with pool care.
After Extended Vacancy
If your pool has been sitting unused for several weeks or months, it will need more than a quick clean. Extended vacancy allows algae to grow, debris to accumulate, and water chemistry to drift out of balance. A deep cleaning brings everything back to normal.
Preparing for Special Events
Planning a graduation party, wedding reception, or summer barbecue? You want your pool looking perfect for your guests. A deep cleaning ensures every surface sparkles and your water is crystal clear for the big day.
Starting Regular Service
If you are ready to sign up for weekly pool cleaning service, we often recommend starting with a deep cleaning. This gives us a clean baseline and makes ongoing maintenance much easier and more effective.
Our Deep Cleaning Process
We follow a systematic approach to deep cleaning that ensures no detail gets missed. Depending on your pool size and condition, a deep cleaning typically takes 2 to 4 hours or more. We never rush the job because thorough work produces better results.
First, we assess your pool condition and take detailed notes about problem areas. Then we remove all large debris and begin the intensive scrubbing and vacuuming process. We may need to vacuum multiple times to remove all settled material. Next, we clean your filter and circulation system to ensure proper water flow. Finally, we test and balance your water chemistry, which may require a follow-up visit to verify that everything has stabilized correctly.
If your pool has significant algae growth or severe staining, we will let you know if it requires additional treatment beyond standard deep cleaning. Some situations may need our green pool treatment service or specialized stain removal. We always give you honest recommendations about what your pool needs.
Pricing and How to Schedule
Deep cleaning pricing varies based on your pool size, current condition, and the amount of work needed. Small residential pools typically start around $200 to $300 for a thorough one-time cleaning, while larger pools or those requiring extensive work may cost more. We provide a clear quote after seeing your pool so there are no surprises.
To schedule your deep cleaning, give us a call at (213) 491-1677 or contact us through our website. We will set up a time to visit your property, assess your pool, and provide a detailed quote. Once you approve the quote, we can usually schedule your deep cleaning within a few days.
Many of our deep cleaning customers choose to continue with regular weekly service after seeing the results. We make it easy to transition from a one-time clean to ongoing maintenance if you decide that professional care is worth the investment. Either way, you will have a clean pool and the peace of mind that comes with professional service.
