Can you fix a pool leak without draining it?

• <div><p>Yes, small pool leaks are fixable with waterproof patches and sealants. It is always best to avoid <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-drain-a-pool.htm">draining a pool</a> if you can, since doing so safely takes time, patience, and a whole lot of water to refill it. Larger pool leaks may require draining, but in this case, it's best to call in a professional.</p></div>

Is painting a pool deck a good idea?

• <div><p>If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.</p></div>

What factors should I consider before installing a swimming pool?

• <div><p>Before deciding to install a swimming pool in your yard, there are many factors to consider. Even if you still need to figure out the specifics with your pool installer, having an idea of what you'd like will help the initial consultation. Some topics to consider include:</p><ul><li><p>Will you use salt water for your pool or traditional hose water?</p></li><li><p>How big of a pool do you want to install? How deep?</p></li><li><p>What special zoning laws do you need to follow for your area?</p></li><li><p>Do you want to keep it simple or add special features like underwater lighting and waterfalls?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What happens to a pool pump if it isn’t primed?

• <div><p>A swimming pool pump has to have water in it to run properly. If the pump isn&rsquo;t primed and tries to run when it&rsquo;s dry, the components will overheat which can cause the pump to seize up and can even damage the PVC pipes that carry the water into and out of it. Essentially, running a pump that isn&rsquo;t primed can lead to having to replace the entire pump.</p></div>

Q: How do you find a leak in a pool?

• <div><p>To find a leak in a small pool, place a few drops of food coloring in a random area. If the food coloring flows out, you've found your leak. However, this can be time-consuming and impractical in larger pools. The best option is to hire a pool repair specialist with ultrasonic equipment. </p></div>

Emmerich Custom did a bathtub conversion on my home. They swapped out the old system, tore out the “header” thing above the shower and made my ceiling taller. They were clean and it was a great experience. I absolutely love my new tub and shower.

I only chose show removal for the job because that was the only option. Ed filled in a hole and planted grass in my backyard where I had an above ground pool removed. He was very professional, easy to communicate with and did an excellent job. I would definitely hire his company again.
