Your pool doesn’t turn green between visits. The water stays balanced, so your skin doesn’t itch and your eyes don’t burn. Your pump runs quietly because someone’s actually checking it every week.
You’re not spending Saturday mornings skimming leaves or trying to figure out why the chlorine test turned purple. You’re not making emergency runs to the pool store or watching YouTube videos about algae blooms at 10 p.m.
Instead, you’ve got a pool that’s actually usable when you want to use it. That’s what weekly pool maintenance is supposed to do. Show up, keep the chemistry right, catch small problems before they become expensive ones, and let you enjoy what you paid for in the first place.
We’ve been serving Sessoms and Douglas County for over 30 years. We started building custom inground pools, so we know how every piece of equipment works and what goes wrong when it’s ignored.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. You’ll see the same technician every week, not a rotating crew of strangers. That matters when you’re handing someone access to your backyard and trusting them to keep your family safe.
Most of our clients stay with us for years because we show up on time, do the work without cutting corners, and don’t try to sell you things you don’t need. That’s it. No gimmicks.
First visit, we assess your pool’s current condition—water chemistry, equipment function, any visible issues. We test pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Then we balance everything to safe swimming levels.
Every week after that, we skim the surface, vacuum the floor, brush the walls, and empty your skimmer baskets. We backwash or clean your filter as needed. We check your pump, heater, and any automation systems to catch problems early.
We test and adjust your water chemistry every single time. That’s not optional. Georgia’s heat and humidity throw off your chemical balance faster than you think, and unbalanced water damages equipment and makes swimming unpleasant.
If something’s wrong—a leak, a failing pump, unusual algae growth—we tell you immediately. No surprises on your bill. No work done without your approval. You get a text or call explaining what we found and what it’ll cost to fix.

Every visit covers skimming, vacuuming, brushing, and basket cleaning. We handle all chemical testing and balancing—chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium, stabilizer. Your filter gets cleaned or backwashed based on pressure readings, not a random schedule.
We inspect your equipment during every visit. Pumps, heaters, salt systems, automation—we’re checking for leaks, strange noises, error codes, anything that signals a problem. Most equipment failures give you warning signs weeks before they quit completely. We catch those.
Sessoms pools deal with pine pollen in spring, heavy debris during summer storms, and algae pressure from heat and humidity. Your service plan accounts for that. We adjust chemical dosing and cleaning frequency based on what your pool actually needs, not what works everywhere else.
If you’ve got a saltwater system, we monitor your salt levels and cell condition. If you heat your pool, we check for proper operation before you need it. The goal is simple: your pool works when you want to use it.
Most residential pool cleaning runs between $80 and $150 per month in this area, depending on your pool size, equipment type, and what’s included. A standard service with weekly cleaning and chemical balancing typically falls around $100 to $120 monthly.
That price covers labor, basic chemicals, and routine maintenance. It doesn’t include repairs, equipment replacement, or major chemical corrections if your pool’s been neglected. If we show up and your pool’s green, that’s a separate cleanup charge because it requires extra chemicals and multiple visits.
Saltwater pools sometimes cost slightly more because the cell and salt levels need monitoring. Pools with extensive landscaping or screen enclosures might run higher due to extra debris. But you’ll know the exact price before we start—no surprises.
Weekly service means your water chemistry stays balanced and your pool stays clean. Bi-weekly service means you’re gambling that nothing goes wrong in those two weeks between visits.
Georgia’s heat accelerates algae growth and chemical consumption. Your chlorine depletes faster in 90-degree weather. Your pH drifts. Organic debris breaks down in your water. Two weeks is enough time for a clear pool to turn cloudy or develop an algae bloom, especially after a heavy rain or if your usage spikes.
Weekly visits catch problems early. A slightly high pH gets corrected before it causes scaling. A pump that’s running louder than usual gets checked before it fails. Bi-weekly service saves you maybe $40 a month but costs you more in emergency cleanups, chemical corrections, and equipment repairs. Most pool owners who try bi-weekly end up switching to weekly after the first green pool incident.
Yes. Pool chemical balancing service is included in every visit, not an add-on. We test and adjust chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid levels every single week.
Balanced water isn’t just about clarity. Unbalanced chemistry etches plaster, corrodes metal components, damages vinyl liners, and makes your water irritating to swim in. It also makes your sanitizer less effective, which means you’re adding chlorine that isn’t actually doing its job.
We use professional-grade test equipment, not the cheap strips that give you vague color matches. You get accurate readings and precise adjustments. If your water needs something beyond routine balancing—like a calcium reduction or stabilizer dilution—we’ll explain why and what it costs before doing the work.
Most green pool cleanups take three to five days, depending on how bad it is. A light green tint from a week of neglect clears up faster than a swamp-green pool that’s been sitting for a month.
The process involves shocking the pool with high chlorine levels, adding algaecide, running your filter continuously, and brushing the walls and floor multiple times. We visit daily during treatment to test levels, add chemicals, and clean your filter as it captures dead algae.
You can’t swim during treatment. The chlorine levels are too high, and the water’s too cloudy to see the bottom safely. Once the water clears and chemistry stabilizes, we’ll give you the all-clear. Expect to pay $200 to $400 for a green pool cleanup, depending on size and severity. Prevention through weekly maintenance costs less than repeated emergency treatments.
Call us immediately. We handle emergency service calls for existing maintenance customers, usually within 24 hours. If your pump quits or your heater throws an error code, waiting until next week’s scheduled visit just makes the problem worse.
Most equipment failures we catch during routine visits before they become emergencies. A pump bearing that’s starting to whine gets flagged. A heater that’s taking longer to reach temperature gets noted. But sometimes things fail suddenly—a power surge, a bad part, a hidden leak.
We’ll diagnose the issue, explain what failed and why, and give you a repair cost before starting work. If it’s something simple like a clogged impeller or tripped breaker, we might fix it on the spot. If it requires parts or major work, we’ll schedule it and keep your pool maintained in the meantime so you don’t end up with a green swamp while waiting for a new pump.
Year-round. Georgia’s climate means your pool needs attention in January just like it does in July, even if you’re not swimming. Algae can still grow in cold water. Your equipment still needs to run. Your chemistry still drifts.
Winter maintenance looks different than summer service. We reduce chemical levels, adjust circulation schedules, and monitor for freeze damage during cold snaps. But we’re still visiting, still testing, still keeping your water balanced so you don’t have a mess to fix when warm weather returns.
Some owners try to skip winter service to save money. Then they call us in April with a green pool, stained surfaces, and equipment that’s been sitting stagnant for months. The cleanup costs more than the winter maintenance would have. If you want your pool ready to swim in spring without a major recovery project, you keep it maintained through winter.
