Report Or Fix Abandoned Pools. Local Property Value & Health Hazards Across Southern California

Jeff Kerber Pool Plastering has developed a program with many cities within southern California to drain maintain these pool in a way that will keep them up to code with the cities and the health department.

Top 5 reasons why you should report any abandoned pools:

1. Old, untreated pool water can become a cesspool for diseases, including the West Nile Virus. The mosquitoes which carry the west nile virus are especially drawn to shallow, algae filled bodies of water, which make abandoned swimming pools their ideal congregation spots. Many cities and counties have begun flying over homes in search of green pools and imposing fines on homeowners for having left the water untreated.

2. Abandoned pools dramatically decrease property value. This point may be an obvious one, but it still incredibly important. During this economic recession, property values are plummeting violently on their own. Keeping your pool, or your neighbors pool, clean and clear can help the values from dropping further.

3. Pools with enough stagnant water to become algae filled also have enough water to hide anything that falls in, whether it be a bicycle, wild animal or even a child. It is not uncommon to drain to a green pool and find a deceased carcass at the bottom, which had remained hidden by the thick green sludge.

4. Unsupervised pools are a playground for local kids, whether the pool is drained or left stagnant. A clean well cared for pool will be more of a deterent than an obviously abandoned pool because then the children will be unsure if there is a tenant or not, giving them pause before entering the yard a second time.

5. Abandoned pools STINK! If you have ever been near an open sewer line, or a swamp, you understand what stagnant water smells like. Don´t let that scent fill your house, call your local city and ask them to allow Jeff Kerber Pool Plastering to service your local abandon pools.
