POOL CLOSING • Massapequa, NY

Pool Closing Service in Massapequa NY

Empire Pools provides complete, step-by-step pool closings in Massapequa — not “blow air for five minutes and leave.” We winterize the plumbing and equipment so freeze damage doesn’t happen, and we close your water the right way so you don’t open to algae, stains, or a swamp. Every closing starts with a quick site evaluation (cover type, plumbing layout, equipment condition, and access), then we follow a proven sequence: remove and store accessories, clean and secure the equipment pad, blow out and protect each line (returns, skimmers, main drain where applicable), add winter chemistry calibrated to gallons and surface, and install your safety cover with even tension to prevent rubbing, sagging, and spring headaches. We finish by labeling/photographing key valves and steps so your spring opening is faster and cleaner. We plan for Massapequa conditions around Merrick Rd, Sunrise Hwy, and Broadway — plus neighborhoods near the Massapequa Preserve where leaf load can spike and wind pockets can shift debris fast.

Massapequa Pool Closing — FAQs

When should I schedule a pool closing in Massapequa?
Most Massapequa homeowners close in late September through October. If your yard has heavy trees (especially near the Massapequa Preserve) or you want to beat sudden cold snaps, booking 1–2 weeks ahead helps you lock in the date you want.
Do you blow out every line and protect the skimmers?
Yes. We blow out return and skimmer lines to the proper PSI, then install the correct skimmer protection (Gizzmo or winter plate), and winterize the equipment pad so freeze damage is minimized.
Can you install or re-tension a Loop-Loc safety cover in Massapequa?
Yes. We install and re-tension Loop-Loc covers, check anchor condition and layout, and confirm even strap tension so the cover sits secure and clean.
Do you lower the water level during a Massapequa pool closing?
It depends on the pool and cover type. Some setups require lowering, others don’t. If you want us to handle it, we can do it on request and quote it on site.
Do I need to be home for my pool closing appointment?
No. As long as we have gate and equipment access, we can complete the closing. We’ll send updates and photos when needed so you know exactly what was done.
How can I prep my yard and equipment pad before you arrive?
Unlock gates, clear the equipment area, and stage your cover and accessories if you have them. If the pool is loaded with leaves, a quick skim beforehand helps the cover sit cleaner and reduces staining over winter.
What parts of Massapequa do you service for pool closings?
We service all of Massapequa, including areas near Merrick Rd, Broadway, Sunrise Hwy, and surrounding residential side streets.
Should I close before or after the trees drop leaves in Massapequa?
If you have heavy leaf load, it often makes sense to time the closing after the biggest drop—but not so late that you risk a freeze. We’ll recommend the best window based on your yard, cover type, and the forecast pattern that year.
