The winter months can be hard on pool equipment, plumbing, and surfaces. Therefore, there may be pol repairs that need to be done when spring arrives. If you want to ensure your pool is ready by summer, you need to have repairs done as soon as possible. The following spring pool problems are issues that you want to repair before the summer opening.
Problems with Pool Plumbing and Leaks
The plumbing of your pool is where you will want to start looking for damage due to cold winter weather. Often, these problems are due to water that gets left in lines, which can cause pipes, fittings, and valves to crack or leak. Therefore, if your pool has issues with leaks that have surfaced after you removed the cover, it may be due to damage to the plumbing installations. You want to make sure that any damage to your pool plumbing is repaired this spring.
Damaged Pool Pump and Filtration Equipment
The equipment for your pool consists of a pump and filtration systems. These are other parts of your pool that may be damaged due to the cold temperatures. Therefore, you will want to inspect connections, leaf traps, and other components for signs of damage. When you start the pump, listen for problems and look for leaks. The equipment may need minor repairs before you can begin circulating the water to get ready to open for summer.
Problems with Pool Deck Surfacing and Skimmer Covers
There are also problems with the pool deck surfacing around the pool that may also need to be addressed. Some of these problems can also affect skimmer covers and cause hazards around your pool. Therefore, you want to repair any cracks and damage to the pool deck surfaces. You may want to replace any damaged skimmer covers too. You can replace them with lockable covers to ensure your pool area is safe this summer.
Problems with Pool Surfaces That Need Repairs Before Summer
The surfaces inside the pool can be another area where you may have to repair the damage. The damage to plaster finishes and tile can affect water quality and lead to other damage. The issues with vinyl liners can cause leaks that get worse and lead to tearing and other issues. Therefore, you want to inspect the surfaces in your pool and repair any problems before filling the pool all the way and getting ready to open for summer.
These spring pool repairs need to be done now to ensure your pool is ready when the summer weather gets here. Contact a pool repair service for help in inspecting your pool and repairing these problems before the summer months.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
