pool deck cleaning chemistry in LaGrange

In LaGrange, this comes up on historic-district houses, college-side streets, and the larger lots toward Vernon Road and Callaway. LaGrange clay does not rinse off a driveway with a garden hose, and shaded brick grows a green film by late summer. Shade at the house side of the deck grows algae. The sunny side is usually a clay or rust problem instead.

January here is gutters full of oak, a porch that needs to look right for guests, and the odd jobs that got postponed all year.

A pool deck grows algae where it stays damp, and it stains where chairs and irrigation sit. The deck can be soft washed and, if it is concrete, surface cleaned. The edge of the water is the limit. Chemistry and dirt are rinsed away from the pool, not toward it. A little splash happens. A deliberate flush into the water does not.

We are not your pool service. We will not add chemicals to the water, promise the pH will be fine, or drain the pool. If the deck job cannot be done without contaminating the water, we change the method or we do not take it.

Acid-washing a deck down to a new profile is a different, aggressive job. It changes the texture and the look forever. It is not included because the deck “could be cleaner.”

The full explanation, without the town attached, is the pool decks: the rinse does not go in the pool article. The town does not change the chemistry. It changes the houses, the shade, and the clay.
