A well-designed pool isn’t just about aesthetics and functionality—it also needs proper drainage to prevent costly issues. Whether you're dealing with heavy rain, groundwater pressure, or poor yard grading, inadequate drainage can lead to flooding, deck damage, and even long-term structural problems.

At Clearflo Pools, we understand the critical role of pool drainage in maintaining the integrity of your pool and surrounding landscape. Here’s why it matters and how we can help.

Common Pool Drainage Issues

Deck and Yard Flooding – Poor drainage can lead to standing water around your pool, causing slippery surfaces, erosion, and damage to landscaping.
Pool Overflow – Heavy rainfall or improper backwash drainage can result in pool water spilling over and affecting surrounding areas.
Groundwater Pressure – In some cases, high groundwater levels can push against your pool shell, leading to lifting or cracking in extreme cases.

How Clearflo Pools Helps with Drainage Solutions

✔ Custom Drainage Planning – We assess your pool’s location and design a drainage plan that directs water safely away from your pool and home.
✔ Proper Deck Sloping – Our expert construction ensures that your pool deck slopes correctly to prevent water pooling.
✔ French Drains & Sump Pumps – For high-risk areas, we install subsurface drainage systems to keep excess water from accumulating.

A poorly drained pool area can lead to expensive repairs down the line. Whether you're building a new pool or experiencing drainage issues, Clearflo Pools is here to provide expert solutions.
