A homeowner near Ancil Hoffman Park called me after noticing her water bill had doubled over two months. She assumed the kids were leaving the hose running. Turned out her pool had a slow leak in the main drain line that had been losing water for weeks without any visible sign. Once we located and repaired it, her bill dropped back to normal and she stopped refilling her pool every few days without realizing it.
Carmichael pools often carry decades of history. Many homes in this area were built in the 1960s and 1970s, which means aging plaster, older plumbing, and equipment that has seen years of hard use. Surfaces stain and discolor over time. Saltwater systems need regular attention to keep cells from scaling over. And underground leaks develop slowly in pipes that have shifted with our clay soil over the years.
Whether your home is off Fair Oaks Boulevard, near Carmichael Park, or in the established neighborhoods along California Avenue, I know what older Carmichael pools require. What I offer is the detailed service that restores surfaces, maintains salt systems, and catches hidden problems before they drain your wallet along with your water.

Carmichael is home to some of the most established neighborhoods in the Sacramento area. That means beautiful mature properties, but also pools with decades of wear on their surfaces, plumbing, and equipment. Keeping these pools in good shape takes more than skimming and chemicals. We provide the deeper service that aging pools require.
What Carmichael pool owners face:
Years of chemical exposure, mineral deposits, and algae staining leave plaster looking gray, blotchy, and rough. A professional pool acid washing service strips away built-up discoloration and restores your surface to a clean, bright finish.
Saltwater pools are popular throughout Carmichael, but salt cells scale over with calcium deposits that reduce output and shorten cell life. Routine salt cell cleaning and inspection keeps your chlorine generation working efficiently and extends the lifespan of expensive equipment.
Older plumbing and shifting clay soil create conditions for leaks to develop underground where you cannot see them. A pool leak detection service finds the source before you lose thousands of gallons and face a water bill that makes no sense.
What we deliver for aging Carmichael pools:
Surfaces restored to a clean, uniform appearance
Salt systems that generate chlorine reliably
Hidden leaks found and addressed before they become disasters
Plaster pools accumulate stains over time. In Carmichael, where many pools date back to the 1960s and 1970s, decades of chemical exposure, mineral buildup, and embedded algae leave surfaces looking dull, gray, and uneven. Regular brushing and chemical treatments cannot remove discoloration that has worked its way into the plaster itself.
Acid washing strips away the top layer of stained plaster to reveal a cleaner, brighter surface underneath. We drain the pool, apply the acid solution carefully, neutralize and rinse thoroughly, then refill with fresh water. Homeowners in Del Campo and along Sutter Avenue trust us to restore pools that looked permanently stained. When replastering is not in the budget, acid washing can add years of improved appearance to an aging surface.
Saltwater pools offer softer water and reduce the need for handling chlorine directly. Many Carmichael homeowners converted to salt systems over the years or bought homes with them already installed. But salt cells require regular attention that often gets overlooked. Without proper care, calcium scale builds up on the cell plates and reduces chlorine output until the system barely works.
We inspect salt cells for buildup, clean plates to restore full output, and check the generator for error codes or declining performance. For pools near Manzanita Avenue and throughout the La Sierra neighborhood where saltwater systems are common, routine cleaning keeps your generator running efficiently and extends the life of equipment that was not cheap to install in the first place.
A pool leak does not always announce itself with a visible puddle. Many leaks happen underground in pipes, fittings, or the main drain where you cannot see them. In Carmichael, homes built on clay soil experience ground movement over time that stresses older plumbing and creates cracks where water escapes slowly. You might notice your water level dropping faster than evaporation explains, or a water bill climbing without reason.
We use professional detection methods to locate leaks without tearing up your yard or guessing at the source. Homeowners near Arden Creek and in the Jan Park neighborhood have saved thousands of dollars by catching leaks early instead of ignoring the warning signs. Finding a leak quickly means a targeted repair instead of extensive excavation and damage.
