Pool Builders in New Orleans: local context

Much of New Orleans sits at or below sea level on soft, subsiding soils with a very high water table; many homes are raised on piers and basements are essentially nonexistent.

In New Orleans a pool can get use most of the year, so builders here talk as much about shade, evaporation, equipment efficiency and surface durability in strong sun as about heating.

Site conditions around New Orleans can include clay soils that call for good drainage and a properly engineered shell and a high water table or limestone that affects excavation. Every build needs permits, and local codes require safety barriers such as fencing, gates or alarms; a builder should handle both and put the full scope, schedule and payment draws in writing.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Louisiana licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What is included in the price, and what is extra?
  • What is the payment draw schedule?
  • Who handles permits and safety barrier requirements?
  • How do you handle site conditions found during excavation?
  • What warranties cover the shell, surface and equipment?
