Sugar Land Water Feature Maintenance

Nothing completes landscape design like a water fountain. A great water feature adds character, curb appeal and value but it also means additional maintenance tasks. It’s easy to forget about fountain maintenance but without regular cleanings, you’re dealing with algae growth, debris and damage. Don’t learn to live with green water or repair bills when you can call Puddle instead! Puddle technicians provide reliable and affordable Sugar Land water feature maintenance for homes and commercial properties. 

The secret to successful water feature care is consistency. Puddle technicians provide options for routine cleanings and single-service cleans to keep your fountain running smoothly. Instead of focusing on looks alone, Puddle crews go below the surface! Puddle crews remove debris, scrub surfaces, treat water, check filters, and even go as far as cleaning the pump as necessary. Let Puddle handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy your fountain! 

Water Fountain Cleaning: The Best Way to Keep Water Systems Clean 

Both indoor and outdoor fountains are up against contaminants and the elements. It’s important to treat the areas that you can see along with the ones you can’t. It’s not enough to clean the fountain surface, it’s important to take care of internal lines and components too. Puddle technicians break the process down into multiple steps for the best results. 

Debris Removal: Whether outdoors or inside, fountains have a way of attracting debris. Lighter items will float along water surfaces, while heavier ones will sink to the bottom of the fountain. Organic debris will rot and break apart, becoming harder to remove and, if left sitting, will cause permanent staining. Skimming out floating items and vacuuming up sunken debris should be done regularly to avoid unsightly stains and damage. 

Water Treatments: The water in a fountain should be treated like the water in a pool or spa. Regular application of chemical treatments will prevent algae, reduce the risk of damaged lines and fountain pumps and keep water looking crystal clear. 

Surface Care: If you start to notice signs of algae, mildew, mineral deposits and white scale, quick action is always best. The trouble is that using the wrong tools or techniques can cause significant damage. Harsh, bleach-based cleansers will strip away protective coatings and waterproofing. Hard bristle brushes can scratch surfaces leading to rust and corrosion but Puddle technicians use specialty tools to remove discolourations without causing damage. 

Cleaning Internal Systems: Even if fountains look good on the outside, there’s the possibility of buildup forming inside lines. Small bits and pieces of debris will create blockages and clog up filters, putting stress on plumbing systems and equipment. Puddle technicians flush lines and check equipment to ensure that everything is running properly. 

Deep Cleans: If you are taking over a contaminated fountain, it’s best to start off with a deep cleaning. This will involve a special combination of chemicals designed to run through systems, loosening any buildup sitting inside lines. Debris is pulled out of internal lines and deposited into the main fountain basin. It’s then time to drain the water so surfaces can be scrubbed. 

Seasonal Care: High temperatures in summer can cause water to evaporate. This means a drop in water level. If water lines don’t reach skimmers and jets, chemical treatments aren’t circulating and it won’t be long before water goes green. Puddle techs will add water whenever necessary.
