POOL DECKS AND ENCLOSURES

Pool deck and enclosure cleaning makes sense if your pool area sees a lot of use throughout the summer months. Your pool area is a moist and humid environment that may be a breeding ground for algae, mould, and mildew. This is not only ugly, but it may also be harmful to your health. Driveways Plus can safely remove these ugly and potentially hazardous contaminants from your pool area, leaving it clean and bright and free of the green and black algae, mould, and mildew that forms throughout the year.

There will be no more green pool screens or algae growing between the paver blocks. Call us immediately to get your pool and deck enclosure looking their best.

Cleaning the pool deck and surrounds requires some expertise and experience. Most pool area surfaces may be cleaned with low pressure, and your pool cage should only be cleaned with low pressure. If you touch your finger on your pool cage, you will most likely find some powdery oxidation. This is due to the harsh quantity of light and elements that cause the top layers of paint to almost turn to powder.

The trick to safely remove harmful and unsightly mold and algae, is to use a combination of low pressure and special cleaning detergents. Any pressure can remove the oxidized layer of paint, resulting in wand marks and even bare metal. I take an experienced pressure washing technician to clean a pool enclosure properly. The only time you want to remove that oxidation is if you plan on repainting.

The deck also needs to be cleaned with low pressure unless it is a paver deck. Cool deck or that textured concrete that make up most pool decks, can be damaged if too much pressure is used. Paver decking can be cleaned safely with high pressure and a professional surface cleaner.

ENCLOSURE

A pool enclosure is an essential and pleasurable addition to any house, but it must be maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. Your pool enclosure protects you from the sun, keeps waste out of your pool, and inhibits creatures from polluting your swimming pool or, worse, swimming in it. Proper care will extend the life of your enclosure and improve its appearance, allowing you to enjoy it to the fullest. Here's some information on how to maintain your pool enclosure.
