Custom In-Ground Pool Construction

In-ground pool construction projects are multifaceted, and you’ll need an experienced, professional team to get the job done properly. At Waterside Pools Inc., we’re with you during every step of the pool construction process. Please spend a few moments to view our photos and descriptions, and they should help you to better understand the entire construction process.

The Pool Construction Process

Our team begins the pool construction process by learning your exact expectations, specifications, and needs, working closely with you to design the ideal pool for your backyard. After the design, we then draw up the engineering plans along with all of the information and paperwork needed to put in for a construction permit. The time spent in this phase will vary from city to city, but once we have secured a permit, we can begin your pool project.

The Steps

The following steps are typical for most projects:

Layout/Dig/Steel

  • First, the pool will be drawn out and formed with wood on the ground.
  • Then, excavating is skillfully and carefully completed.
  • All under-plumbing will now be installed (Drain, EZ Flow Jets, etc.)
  • The reinforced steel cage is done with #3 size rebar at 10″ O.C. (above code).
  • Then we contact the city or county for the inspection.
  • After passing the inspections, we go to the next steps.

Shoot Shell

  • Gunite or shotcrete (concrete based materials) is “shot” onto the rebar cage to specific thicknesses. This is the monolithic shell of the pool and spa, along with the steps, benches, and sun shelves.
  • Our pools and spas have a lifetime structural warranty.

Plumbing

  • Plumbing is then installed around the pool perimeter, then routed to the pump and equipment area.
  • Plumbing and tile are both installed using leveling devices. This will ensure optimum strength, beautiful aesthetics, and proper flow for years to come.

Tile

  • All of our pool shells are waterproofed before the tile is installed.
  • Laser levels are used in order to achieve precision workmanship.
  • The pool tile is then grouted to completion.

Coping and Decking

  • After passing the plumbing pressure and bonding inspection, we will start installing the coping and decking materials.
  • The coping bricks or stones are set around the top perimeter of the pool and spa using leveling devices.
  • Rock-, shell-, and sand-base are the materials generally used for the foundation under paver decks.
  • We compact the base and sand material up to three times on a paver deck during the installation process.
  • The crews will use leveling devices on all decks to ensure accurate leveling and pitching for proper drainage.

Screen Enclosure or Fence

  • As you can imagine, there are many ways to cut corners on the screen enclosures and fencing. However, we refuse to do this. The engineering, materials, and workmanship will be of the highest caliber.
  • According to Florida state law, everyone must install a screen or fence around the pool, area as well as a baby fence or window and door alarms.

Electrical

  • Per the National Electric Code, we complete this phase in the same manner for every pool.
  • At this point, we will install the safety features required per code. This includes window and door alarms or a safety fence (baby fence).
  • After installing the safety barriers and all bonding and wiring connections are completed, we call in for the electrical and safety barrier inspections.
  • After passing the electrical and barrier inspection, we can begin surfacing.

Interior Surface

  • All pool and spa shells are scraped, acid washed, prepped and cleaned out before surfacing.
  • We seal and waterproof every return line, fitting, drain, light, and opening in the pool or spa to ensure that there are no leaks.
  • Interior surfaces are applied by hand. By using trowels, we can ensure a nice, smooth finish. There are several different surface brands to choose from, such as Marcite, Diamond Brite, Hydrazzo, Pebble Tec, and Stonescapes, etc.
  • Once surfaced, we start filling the pool immediately to the proper level.
  • We start up the pumps and add the initial dosages of chemicals.
  • All warranties and guarantees are activated at this time of construction.

Irrigation/Sod/Landscaping

  • Waterside Pools now offers special “all-inclusive project packages” as an option for sod and irrigation replacement. We’ve already done the shopping, so you don’t need to spend the time or energy.

Final Inspections

  • Most municipalities will require a final survey of the property and the pool to be completed.
  • Requirements for final inspections vary from city to city. Please speak to your consultant for details in your specific area.

“We negotiated with four different pool builders prior to choosing Waterside Pools Inc. We chose Jason and his team because his proposal was the most detailed and professionally presented, and he offered the highest-quality components for  similar price. He micro-managed the employees and subcontractors, and made sure we were happy with every detail along the way, and we were not easy to please. We feel the result is spectacular, and strongly recommend Waterside Pools. Thanks, Jason. “
