What Does the Swimming Pool Excavation Process Entail?
Excavation is a crucial step that involves digging out the area where your pool will be installed. This process starts with a detailed survey and marking of the pool’s location, followed by heavy machinery digging.
What If You Encounter Rocks During Pool Construction?
During excavation, hitting rock is a common challenge. Several options are available to address this. One approach is to move your pool to an area with less rocky soil by digging test holes to find a suitable spot. Another option is to elevate your pool, which may involve additional costs for walls and fill dirt. Alternatively, we can hammer or blast the rock to keep the pool in the desired location.
Custom Pools, Endless Options
When it comes to inground pool installation, there are many options to consider—your new pool is not just a rectangle full of water in the ground!
Grecian, oval, Roman, L-shaped, kidney, round, lap… we can create pools in as many shapes as you can imagine! However, should you decide to pick a fiberglass pool liner your customization options will be limited.
Gunite
Today’s most common method of pool installation, a framework is built and then sprayed with a mixture of concrete and sand. The use of rebar rather than wood as a framework creates a more durable basin than the previously used poured concrete.
Poured Concrete
Still an option, pool contractors will suggest poured concrete. It has been used by many of our Chilliwack clients and is very long-lasting, on par with gunite. Just be prepared for a cement mixer to be on your property for the process.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass pools come in a range of different shapes, but because they are one solid form that is lowered by crane into the ground, there isn’t a lot of room for customization.
Vinyl
When considering how to line your pool, you have three options. Leave the gunite or concrete, insert a fiberglass shell, or line your concrete pool with vinyl. A vinyl liner will supply you with a nice smooth pool bottom surface, but will need to be replaced in five to nine years due to its potential to fade and discolor in the sun as well as tear and leak.
No matter what method you choose, installing your inground pool is our pleasure, and the cost of putting in a pool is well worth it.
Concrete, fiberglass, vinyl—they all have their advantages and disadvantages but what it comes down to is what will work best with your budget and backyard.

How Often Should You Invest in Pool Maintenance?
Swimming pool maintenance should be done at different intervals to keep the water balanced and clean. Here’s a typical pool maintenance schedule:
- Weekly: Test and adjust pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels. Make sure to skim debris, clean your pool’s walls and floor, empty the skimmer and pump baskets, and backwash the filter.
- Biweekly: Check and adjust your pool’s water level and clean the filter system.
- Monthly: Inspect pool equipment, shock the pool with chlorine, and ensure everything is functioning correctly.
How Much Chlorine Does Your Pool Need?
Your pool’s chlorine level should stay between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million (ppm) if you want to maintain optimal swimming conditions throughout the warmer months. Anything higher puts you at risk of red eyes and swimmer’s itch.
Why Is Your Swimming Pool Cloudy?
A cloudy swimming pool is often the result of imbalanced water chemistry, inadequate filtration, or environmental contaminants. Common causes of this problem include high pH levels or insufficient chlorine—two issues that professionals like us can quickly address. Schedule regular maintenance for proper chemical balancing and efficient filtration when you want to steer clear of these problems.
