Pool Installation Process

From Design to Diving

The process starts with understanding your vision and evaluating your property. We’ll assess your yard’s layout, soil conditions, and drainage needs to design a pool that fits both your lifestyle and your land.

Once permits are secured, excavation begins with careful attention to your property’s existing utilities and landscaping. The pool shell construction follows, using materials and techniques proven to handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and ground conditions.

Equipment installation, plumbing, and electrical work come next, followed by decking and any custom features like waterfalls or lighting. Throughout the process, inspections ensure everything meets local codes and your expectations.

The final steps include startup, water balancing, and walking you through your new pool’s operation and maintenance. You’ll know exactly how everything works before we consider the job complete.

How long does it take to build an inground pool in Wantagh?

Most custom inground pool projects in Wantagh take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on the pool’s complexity and any custom features you choose. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during spring and fall when rain impacts excavation and concrete work. The permit process typically adds 2-3 weeks before construction begins, but we handle all permit applications and scheduling with Nassau County. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process so you know exactly when to expect your pool to be ready for swimming.

What permits are required for pool construction in Nassau County?

Nassau County requires building permits for all inground pool installations, which include structural, plumbing, and electrical inspections throughout the construction process. You’ll also need to comply with setback requirements from property lines and ensure proper fencing meets local safety codes. Some areas may require additional approvals for drainage or if you’re near wetlands or other protected areas. We handle all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections, so you don’t need to navigate the county offices yourself. We know exactly what Nassau County inspectors look for and ensure everything meets code before each inspection.

How do you handle Long Island's high water table during construction?

High water tables are common throughout Nassau County, and we have extensive experience managing groundwater during pool construction. We use dewatering systems during excavation to keep the work area dry and install proper drainage around the pool shell to prevent future issues. The pool structure is designed to handle hydrostatic pressure from groundwater, and we often install permanent drainage systems to manage water levels long-term. This prevents the pool from “floating” during heavy rains or seasonal water table changes, which can cause serious structural damage if not handled properly during initial construction.

What's the difference between gunite and vinyl liner pools?

Gunite pools use sprayed concrete that’s shaped and finished to create a permanent, custom-shaped pool shell that can last decades with proper maintenance. They allow for complete design flexibility, custom shapes, and built-in features like benches or spas, but typically cost more upfront. Vinyl liner pools use a pre-formed steel or polymer wall system with a vinyl liner, which costs less initially but requires liner replacement every 8-12 years. For Long Island’s freeze-thaw conditions, gunite pools generally perform better long-term, while vinyl liners can be more susceptible to damage from ground movement or ice. We’ll recommend the best option based on your budget, design goals, and site conditions.

How much does a custom inground pool cost in Wantagh?

Custom inground pool costs in the Wantagh area typically range from $50,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools with standard equipment fall on the lower end, while custom shapes, water features, premium finishes, and complex excavation drive costs higher. Long Island’s challenging soil conditions, permit requirements, and higher labor costs compared to other regions affect pricing. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. We’ll work within your budget to prioritize features that matter most to you while ensuring quality construction that won’t require expensive repairs later.

Do you provide pool maintenance services after construction?

JAS Aquatics focuses on pool construction and major renovations rather than ongoing weekly maintenance, but we provide comprehensive startup services and equipment training when your pool is completed. We’ll teach you proper water chemistry, equipment operation, and seasonal maintenance procedures so you can maintain your pool yourself or hire a maintenance service. We also provide equipment service and repairs for pools we’ve built, since we know exactly what equipment was installed and how it’s configured. For routine cleaning and chemical maintenance, we can recommend trusted local pool service companies that service the Wantagh area and understand the equipment systems we typically install.
