The ideal time for pool closing in Commack is typically mid to late October, when nighttime temperatures consistently drop below 50 degrees. You don’t want to close too early and waste swimming time, but you also can’t wait until the first freeze. We recommend scheduling by early October to ensure availability, since this is our busiest time. Once temperatures hit freezing, any water left in your plumbing lines can cause expensive damage overnight. If you have a pool heater, you might be able to extend the season slightly, but most Long Island pools should be winterized by Halloween to be safe. Weather can be unpredictable, so we monitor forecasts closely and can sometimes accommodate rush requests if an early freeze threatens your area.
Improper winterization can cause damage ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. When water freezes in your plumbing lines, it expands and can crack pipes, destroy skimmers, and break heaters—all expensive components to replace. Pool equipment that isn’t properly drained and winterized can suffer internal damage from ice formation. Filters can crack completely if drain plugs aren’t removed. Pumps and heaters can sustain damage that requires full replacement rather than simple repairs. Chemical imbalances during winter storage can lead to algae blooms, surface staining, and water quality issues that create expensive cleanup problems when you try to open next spring. Professional winterization prevents all these issues and actually saves money compared to dealing with freeze damage repairs.
Yes, we provide professional closing services for both inground and above ground pools throughout Commack and Suffolk County. Each type requires specific winterization techniques, and our technicians are trained on the proper procedures for both. Inground pools typically require more extensive plumbing blow-out due to underground lines that are especially vulnerable to freeze damage. Above ground pools need specific attention to skimmer and return line protection, plus proper water level adjustment. Our pricing varies based on pool size and type, with above ground pool closings typically starting around $160 and inground pools around $240, depending on complexity. We’ll provide an exact quote based on your specific pool setup and any additional services needed.
Our comprehensive process covers everything your pool needs for safe winter storage. We start with complete pool assessment and debris removal, then balance water chemistry specifically for winter conditions using shock treatment and algaecide. Equipment winterization includes proper shutdown and drainage of pumps, filters, heaters, and any automation systems. We blow out all plumbing lines with compressed air—the critical step that prevents freeze damage—then install winter plugs and add antifreeze where needed. Water level adjustment, skimmer and return line protection, and professional cover installation with proper securing complete the process. You receive a detailed checklist showing exactly what we did, plus recommendations for any winter maintenance or equipment issues we noticed during the closing.
Most pool closings take 2-4 hours depending on your pool size, equipment complexity, and cover type. Simple above ground pools with basic equipment close faster, while large inground pools with multiple pumps, heaters, and automation systems require more time. Safety cover installations take longer than tarp covers due to the precision required for proper tensioning and anchor attachment. If we discover equipment issues during the closing process, we’ll discuss options with you before proceeding with any additional work. We schedule appointments with arrival windows rather than exact times, since each pool’s needs can vary. We’ll call ahead to confirm timing and let you know if we’re running early or late. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly and efficiently the process moves once we start.
Absolutely. We often discover equipment issues during the closing process and can address most problems on the spot. Common issues include pump seal leaks, filter problems, heater maintenance needs, and automation system glitches. If we find issues that affect the winterization process, we’ll explain your options and provide recommendations. Some problems need immediate attention to prevent winter damage, while others can wait until spring opening. We carry common replacement parts and can often complete repairs during the same visit. For major equipment problems that require ordering parts or extensive work, we’ll properly winterize around the issue and schedule follow-up service. Our goal is always to ensure your pool is completely protected for winter, regardless of any equipment challenges we encounter during the closing process.
