Durham Water Feature Maintenance

Water fountains add a ton of character and curb appeal to properties throughout Durham. It’s important to remember that without regular maintenance, they’ll quickly turn into eyesores. A dirty fountain gives the wrong impression to guests in a commercial space and is a health risk. 

Whether you’re looking to maintain a fountain in your home or at work, Puddle’s got you covered. Puddle technicians provide reliable and affordable Durham water feature maintenance for fountains of all shapes, sizes and styles. 

Keeping a fountain running smoothly can feel like a full-time job. Between balancing water chemistry, treating surfaces, monitoring water levels, cleaning water pumps, filters and more. Fountain maintenance can seem overwhelming, but Puddle technicians make it easier than ever!  With options for routine cleaning programs and single-service deep cleans, there’s never a bad time to call Puddle. 

Water Fountain Cleaning: Avoid a DIY Disaster 

Outdoor fountains are built to be durable and withstand the elements. Even the toughest features are susceptible to damage. Trying to pressure wash algae growth and stains can quickly lead to damaged structures and water leaks. Harsh cleansers can also damage protective coatings and finishes. Puddle technicians use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to remove stains and buildup without the threat of damage. 

When you choose Puddle for your water feature services, every regular cleaning is broken down into multiple steps for a top-to-bottom clean. 

Water Care: The water chemistry in a fountain is crucial to maintaining its condition. If water is full of debris, green or experiencing algae growth, you can expect to see a ripple effect within water systems. Contaminated water is a safety risk, but routine chemical balancing will keep it crystal clear and running smoothly. 

Ditch Debris: Fountains outdoors and inside are susceptible to debris buildup. Indoors, you might see dust, scale, trash and even pennies. Outside, the common culprits are organic, including leaves, dirt, pollen, insects and other natural bits and pieces. Fountains are complex structures, and it can be tough to remove debris completely without the right tools and techniques. Puddle technicians use specialty brushes, cleansers and safety equipment to reach higher tiers safely, for a complete clean. 

Equipment Care: Structures and water care are important for keeping fountains looking their best, but it’s also important to take care of internal systems. Fountain pumps are vulnerable to clogs, strain, scale and blockages. Cleaning the pump means dismantling and removing it, treating it with cleansers and then reinstalling. Puddle technicians can remove components and equipment safely, mitigating the risk of damage or injury. 

The needs of a water feature will change throughout the year. When growth rates spike in spring, so do pollen rates. Algae feed off of pollen, so it becomes more important than ever to maintain water chemistry. When fall rolls around, it’s important to protect water features from damage caused by cold temperatures and frozen water. Experienced technicians will adjust their care plans to suit the needs of your fountains. 

The Puddle Guarantee: Expert Water Fountain Care in Durham, North Carolina 

Water systems can be demanding, but after years of experience in the industry, our Puddle Pros know exactly what they need and when. In addition to offering routine cleaning programs, Puddle crews offer deep cleaning options that cater to surfaces and the internal systems that keep fountains running.

Puddle crews use a special combination of cleansers to loosen and remove buildup from inside plumbing lines and equipment. Water is then drained so surfaces can be scrubbed using specialty brushes that remove stains without causing damage. If you’re thinking about draining the water from a fountain alone, stop and consult an expert first. Without proper drainage, fountain water can end up causing serious damage. 

Puddle technicians offer flexible scheduling options for water features of all shapes, sizes and styles. Whether you are in the market for routine cleanings or single-service deep cleans, there’s nothing that our team of local Puddle Pros can’t handle. 

It’s important to note that in the case of aquatic plants, fish or koi, pond care is a specialty service that is not offered by Puddle Pool Services.
