When the South Carolina summer settles in, your pool becomes the heart of your Charleston home. Whether you're cooling off after a hot, humid day or hosting friends for a weekend cookout in West Ashley, the last thing you want is cloudy water or a hot tub that won't heat up. That's where we come in. Puddle Pools has been taking care of swimming pools and hot tubs across the Charleston area for years. From the growing communities around Johns Island and Daniel Island to the established neighborhoods of West Ashley and James Island, we're local, we're reliable, and we show up when we say we will.
Commercial pools need dependable service to stay clean, inviting, and ready for guests, residents, and customers. We provide commercial pool services for hotels, apartment and condo communities, HOAs, fitness facilities, and other properties throughout the Charleston area. From routine cleaning and water balancing to equipment checks and ongoing maintenance, we’ll help keep your commercial pool looking its best.
Hot tubs are amazing, until they’re not. Cloudy water? Low heat? Jets acting up? We service all major brands and can troubleshoot just about anything. Regular maintenance keeps your spa clean, comfortable, and running efficiently throughout the year while helping prevent unexpected repairs.
Let’s be honest, between work, family, and everything else, who has time to scoop leaves, check pH levels, and clean filters every week? Our weekly service keeps your pool sparkling without you lifting a finger. We handle the brushing, vacuuming, chemical balancing, and equipment checks. You just handle the splashing.
Seeing the water level drop faster than normal? Charleston’s hot summers can cause plenty of evaporation, but a consistently dropping water level could point to a leak. We use professional leak detection tools to pinpoint problems in your pool shell, plumbing lines, or equipment so you’re not stuck constantly refilling your pool.
Keeping a pool in great shape takes more than an occasional cleaning. Our pool maintenance services cover water testing, chemical balancing, filter checks, equipment inspections, and other routine care your pool needs to stay clean and operate efficiently. With Charleston’s heat, humidity, and long swimming season, regular maintenance helps prevent algae, cloudy water, and unnecessary wear on your equipment.
Charleston’s mild winters mean many homeowners keep their pools accessible for much of the year, but seasonal pool care is still important. We can prepare your pool and equipment for cooler weather, then clean, inspect, and get everything ready when swimming season picks back up. No surprises, no headaches.
Welcome to Puddle Pool Services, your premier choice for exceptional residential pool services right here in Charleston. We understand that your swimming pool is more than just water; it’s a centerpiece for relaxation, family fun, and creating lasting memories.
Pump making strange noises? Filter not doing its job? Heater refusing to heat? We’ve seen and fixed it all. Our technicians service pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, and saltwater systems. With common parts stocked on our trucks, many repairs can be completed the same day.
It happens. Maybe you were out of town, the pump stopped working, or Charleston’s heat and humidity helped algae take over faster than expected. If your pool has turned green or cloudy, we can bring it back. We’ll clean the pool, correct the water chemistry, and get your water clear, clean, and ready to enjoy again.

Common Pool Problems in Charleston & How We Fix Them
Heat & Humidity
Charleston’s long, hot, humid summers create ideal conditions for algae and can make it harder to keep pool chemistry balanced. We regularly test and adjust your water, maintain proper sanitizer levels, and keep circulation moving so your pool stays clear even during the hottest stretches of summer.
Pollen & Spring Debris
Spring in Charleston can bring plenty of pollen, leaves, and other debris into your pool. We increase skimming when needed, clean filters and baskets, and make sure your circulation system is working properly so all that seasonal debris doesn’t leave your water cloudy.
Heavy Rain & Summer Storms
Charleston’s frequent summer downpours can quickly change your pool’s water level and throw off its chemistry. Heavy rain can dilute chlorine and affect pH and alkalinity. After major storms, we can test and rebalance your water to help prevent cloudy water and algae growth.
Equipment Strain from Heat
When temperatures climb into the 90s, your pool equipment can work overtime. Pumps run longer, motors deal with additional heat, and filters may need more attention during periods of heavy pool use. During service visits, we inspect your equipment to catch potential issues before they become expensive breakdowns.
Algae When You’re Away
Heading out of town? Charleston’s combination of sunshine, heat, and humidity means an unattended pool can develop algae surprisingly quickly. We offer vacation pool service to maintain your water chemistry, remove debris, and keep your equipment running properly while you’re away. You’ll come home to a clean pool instead of a green one.

Chris has been amazing. Our pool was not usable due to poor service from last provider, however, Puddle Pools has gone above and beyond, with sometimes daily visits to get our pool in working order. Today we were able to enjoy our pool for this first time this summer. Thank you Chris for being accountable, very communicative and supportive in helping us restore our amazing pool.
If you thinking of switching, I would recommend Puddle Pools… I’ve had a great experience

Aaron at Puddle Pools is awesome! Super reliable, super friendly, and actually cares about doing a great job (hard to find). I’ve seen how much pride he takes in his work, and it really shows. If you need someone to keep your pool in great shape, Aaron’s your guy. Can’t recommend him enough!

Got a 20 year old gunnite pool. All my equipment was failing, and Aaron helped me choose new equipment that had better features but also compatible with the original panel/motherboard. Everything worked great, price was competitive, he told me when it would be delivered, and followed through on everything. It's a small company, but you can tell he wants to grow by delivering great service, and word of mouth. Highly recommend you give him a shot!!
