Pool Cleaning Service in Carroll & Baltimore County

Pool cleaning service is essential when regular upkeep can’t remove algae, mineral deposits, or surface stains. That’s when our pool cleaning service—like our popular Drain and Clean—can bring your pool back to life. This intensive service is ideal for restoring cleanliness, improving water quality, and preparing your pool for safe, enjoyable use.
At North Carroll Pools and Spas, we provide Drain and Clean services for homeowners throughout Carroll County and parts of Baltimore County. With over two decades of experience, our expert team ensures your pool receives the deep cleaning it needs to look refreshed and function properly—season after season.

What Is a Drain and Clean Service?

A Drain and Clean is a specialized pool cleaning service that involves draining the pool completely and performing a detailed, surface-level restoration. It’s often the best option for pools that have severe staining, discoloration, or algae growth that can’t be resolved through routine maintenance.

Our Drain and Clean process typically includes:
  • Draining the pool water
  • Acid washing and/or bleaching pool surfaces to remove stubborn stains and algae
  • Pressure washing to clear away dirt, debris, and buildup
  • Debris cleanup and scrubbing of walls and floor
  • Refilling the pool with fresh, clean water
This thorough approach gives your pool a refreshed appearance and helps restore a clean, balanced swimming environment.

Pool Cleaning Service: When a Drain and Clean Is Needed

It’s not always obvious when your pool needs a deeper clean. However, some clear signs may indicate that a pool cleaning service—specifically a Drain and Clean—is the best course of action:

  • Persistent algae growth that doesn’t clear up with chemical treatments
  • Heavily stained or discolored pool walls or floor
  • A green or cloudy pool that’s been left untreated for an extended time
  • Foul odors or visible debris buildup along the surface
  • Your pool has been unused for a long period and needs a reset
If any of these sound familiar, a Drain and Clean can help restore your pool’s appearance and water quality—often in just a few days.

Our Step-by-Step Drain and Clean Process

At North Carroll Pools and Spas, we take pride in delivering safe, effective, and high-quality results with every pool cleaning service. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a Drain and Clean with our team:
1. Initial Assessment
We begin by evaluating your pool’s current condition. This includes checking for staining, algae, surface buildup, and overall water clarity. We’ll also assess your pool’s finish to ensure it’s suitable for acid washing or bleaching.
Once we’ve confirmed the need for a Drain and Clean, we carefully drain all water from the pool to expose the interior surfaces. This allows us to access all areas for a thorough cleaning.
We apply an acid wash or bleach solution—depending on the type and severity of the staining—to break down organic matter, minerals, and algae. This removes discoloration and brightens the pool surface without damaging it.
After treatment, we pressure wash the entire interior to rinse away loosened debris, grime, and residue. This leaves your pool surfaces clean and smooth. We also perform a full cleanup, removing any remaining debris or buildup.
Once the pool is clean, we begin the process of refilling it with fresh water. If needed, we can also advise you on how to properly balance the water chemistry once the pool is full.

How Often Should You Schedule a Drain and Clean?

Most pools won’t need this service every year, but it’s a smart option for pools that have been closed for long periods or exposed to poor water conditions. Based on visual conditions and water quality, homeowners may consider a Drain and Clean every few years or as needed. If your pool develops persistent stains or algae or if chemical treatments stop working effectively, it may be time to schedule a professional assessment.

If you notice reduced water circulation or an increase in dirt accumulation, scheduling an inspection can help address minor issues before they become bigger problems. For pools that experience heavy use, an annual deep cleaning ensures the drainage system remains clear and efficient. Routine drain maintenance not only helps prevent costly repairs but also improves water quality and extends the life of your pool equipment.
