Las Vegas · Pool decks · Deck cleaning
Concrete is
not tile.
Concrete, tile, acrylic coatings, wood on the dry deck: each takes its own cleaning technique and its own water pressure. We clean the pool decks of Las Vegas hotels, HOAs and apartment communities.
Concrete, tile, acrylic, wood: each deck takes its own technique and water pressure. For Las Vegas hotel, HOA and apartment pools.
01The surfaces
Concrete
First on the Health District's list of deck surfaces. Like every deck, it has to stay slip-resistant, wet or dry.
Tile
On the same list. When tile is past cleaning, we replace it as part of a renovation.
Acrylic
Manufactured and acrylic surfaces are on the list too, each with its own technique and pressure.
Wood
Kept off the perimeter deck at the water's edge. The Health District may permit it on the dry deck.
02The rule
The Health District's rule.
What section 3-407.3 of the Southern Nevada Health District's regulations asks of the deck at a permitted pool. The daily upkeep sits with the property; our deck cleaning is the wash matched to the material.
- Debris
Deck areas cleaned daily, kept free of debris and vermin.
- Standing water
None on the deck.
- Deck drains
Cleaned and kept clear, so water does not pond.
- Cracks
Repaired once they make a trip, a fall or a cut likelier, or get in the way of cleaning the deck.
- Slope
Kept to the deck's original design slope and integrity.
- Walkway
The perimeter deck kept clear, chairs included, for rescue.
03Questions
Asked about decks.
The deck is cracked. Clean it, or resurface it?
A wash won't close a crack. If the surface is sound, clean it. Once a crack raises the risk of a trip, a fall or a cut, or gets in the way of cleaning, SNHD section 3-407.3 says it must be repaired, and that is resurfacing: deck resurfacing and replacement are part of our renovation work.
Where does the wash water go?
A permitted deck is built to answer that. Under SNHD section 2-601.3 it drains its cleaning water to perimeter areas or deck drains without leaving standing water, and its deck drains may not run back to the pool or into the sanitary sewer.
Can we put turf or wood around the pool?
Not at the water. SNHD prohibits carpet and artificial turf on the perimeter and pool deck, and wood on the perimeter deck; wood may be permitted on the dry deck.
Do you clean home pool decks?
No. Our deck cleaning is for commercial and community pools. For homes we handle repairs, leak detection and inspections; Homeowners has the details.
