What should I do this week if my pool has been neglected for two months?
Book a professional green-pool recovery visit now rather than waiting. Published cost guides place the initial recovery around $300 to $500, and HomeGuide notes that a green pool can take up to a week or more to restore. Ask the pro for a written scope before the first visit so you know what the cleanup includes.
Why is my pool turning green so fast?
Austin city guidance says algae growth becomes more likely as water warms and days get longer. Warm temperatures, low flow, and high nutrient levels are the conditions most likely to produce algae blooms. Hot Texas weather makes this worse for a pool left untreated.
What should I check before hiring someone to clean my pool?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. Texas commercial applicators operate a business or work for one that offers pest control for hire, and Texas structural pest control rules require licensing when it applies. Check the state program and certification list to confirm credentials.
What does ongoing service cost after the cleanup?
Regular service is typically priced at $60 to $90 per hour. HomeGuide lists weekly or bi-weekly care at $80 to $150 per month, and published guides put ongoing upkeep around $100 to $150 per month. Confirm the monthly rate in your quote.
