Customer Case Study: Pool Resurfacing After Hurricane Helene in Sarasota

How Super Shark Pools Revived a Storm Damaged Pool

In late September 2024, Hurricane Helene struck Florida’s Gulf Coast, making landfall as a powerful Category 4 storm on September 26. Sarasota and its neighborhoods experienced severe flooding and storm surge that left many homes with storm damaged pools covered in sand and debris.

One Sarasota resident, Bonnie, faced an overwhelming challenge after the storm: her backyard swimming pool was filled with sand and mud washed in by Helene’s flooding. The mess was only the beginning of a much more complex problem.

Storm Aftermath: Stains and Cracks Revealed

Super Shark Pools was called in to assess the situation. The team began by carefully removing the sand and mud from the pool. Once cleaned, it became clear that the mud had deeply stained the aging pool surface, leaving unsightly blemishes that standard cleaning could not fix.

As Super Shark Pools drained Bonnie’s pool, another issue emerged—cracks in the surface. Through a detailed inspection, the experts discovered the root cause: the previous construction didn’t adequately support the deep end. This caused excessive pressure, leading to structural cracks and weakening the pool’s integrity.

How Super Shark Pools Fixed A Storm Damaged Pool

Bonnie’s pool restoration was a multi-step process:

• Structural Fortification: First, the team addressed the pressure issue by fortifying the deep end with proper reinforcement. This step ensured the pool would withstand Sarasota’s unique soil and weather conditions in the future.

• Professional Resurfacing: Next, they performed a complete swimming pool resurfacing to resolve the stains and restore the pool’s appearance. Using high-quality materials suited for Florida’s climate, Super Shark Pools transformed the pool back to its original beauty.

• Deck Enhancement: As part of the service, Super Shark Pools also upgraded the pool deck by installing new pavers. This not only refreshed the pool’s look but provided a safer, more attractive space.

• Attention to Quality: Throughout the process, they maintained a clean worksite, communicated clearly with Bonnie, and ensured all work met the highest standards.

The entire project cost approximately $20,000, reflecting the depth of repairs and improvements required to bring Bonnie’s pool back to life.

A Happy Ending

Bonnie was extremely pleased with the result, saying Super Shark Pools was “very easy to work with” and that the team far exceeded her expectations. Not only did her pool look brand new, but it was structurally fortified to better withstand future storms.
