Pool & Spa Closing Services in Bergen County NJ
Our pool & spa closings in Bergen County NJ are performed by experienced, certified technicians who winterize your pool the right way. The following services are included:
- Clean the pool/spa
- Lower the water level
- Balance water chemistry
- Blow out the lines and plug returns
Protecting your equipment for winter
Freezing water inside plumbing and equipment is the number one cause of costly spring repairs. We drain and blow out every line, winterize pumps, heaters and filters, and confirm nothing is left holding water before we leave.
Cover installation
We install your winter cover securely — safety cover, water bags or a solid cover — so leaves and debris stay out and the cover stays put through the season.
Scheduling your closing
Please call 3-4 weeks before your desired closing date. Closing too late in the season risks freeze damage to your plumbing and equipment.
- Closing costs are “a-la-carte” and vary based on pool size, number of pumps, water features and other specifics.
- Prior account balance must be paid in full before a closing can be scheduled.
- Ask about our Winter Service — especially important if you have tile around the top of your pool.
