Why Commercial Pricing Is Different
Commercial pools - including HOA community pools, hotel pools, apartment complex pools, water parks, and municipal aquatic facilities - are fundamentally different from residential pools in scope and complexity.
A standard residential pool has one or two skimmers, a handful of return fittings, a main drain, and a relatively straightforward equipment pad. A commercial pool may have gutter overflow systems instead of skimmers, multiple return zones, surge tanks, separate wading pools or therapy pools, complex valve configurations, and equipment rooms with multiple pump-and-filter systems.
Evaluating a commercial pool correctly requires more time and often more than one technician working simultaneously. A single technician working a large commercial pool the way a residential evaluation is structured would either take too long to be practical or would miss areas that require two people to cover properly.
Commercial pricing reflects the actual scope of the job - more personnel, more time, more equipment. Every commercial job is quoted individually because the range of what constitutes a commercial pool is wide. A small HOA pool with 20 units is a very different job from a resort pool with multiple attached spas, water features, and a lap pool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with HOA community pools?
Yes. HOA community pools are part of our commercial work. If an HOA pool is losing water, the stakes are higher than a single residential pool - the repair affects the whole community and the association's budget. We provide the same systematic evaluation and documented report that gives the HOA board what they need to authorize the repair.
What if the commercial pool cannot be closed for evaluation?
We work with facility schedules to minimize disruption. Some aspects of the evaluation require the pool to be closed or at least unoccupied - underwater work and pipe testing in particular. The scheduling conversation happens when you call, so we can plan around your facility's operating hours.
What does pool leak detection start at in South Florida?
Residential pool leak detection starts at $425 for standard pools. Every job is different and your estimate is provided before any work begins. Call Sandra Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm EST at (954) 290-5177 Broward or (561) 325-2678 Palm Beach.
