Serving the Westbank since 2013
Flat-rate weekly pool service, green-to-clean recovery and pool equipment repair for homes in Gretna, Marrero, Harvey, Terrytown, Westwego, Algiers and Belle Chasse.
Westbank Pool Cleaning is a family-run pool service based in Gretna, Louisiana. We clean, balance and repair residential swimming pools on this side of the river only — Gretna, Terrytown, Harvey, Marrero, Estelle, Westwego, Avondale, Bridge City, Waggaman, Algiers, English Turn and Belle Chasse. Staying inside a tight service map is the reason our routes run on time, our technicians know your equipment by name, and a callback happens the same week instead of the next month.
Pool ownership near New Orleans is not the same as pool ownership anywhere else. The humidity, the heat, the water table, the oak canopy and the storm season all work against clear water. A pool in Marrero left alone for ten days in July will turn, no matter how good the equipment is. That is why every plan we sell is weekly, every visit is a full service, and every chemical is included in the price we quoted you at the walkthrough. There is no fuel surcharge, no chemical upcharge in August, and no annual contract to sign.
Whether you need routine weekly pool cleaning, an emergency green-to-clean after a storm, a variable-speed pump installed to cut your Entergy bill, or just someone reliable to keep your salt system dialed in, you are dealing with the owner and a small crew that lives in the same neighborhoods you do.
Chemicals are always included. No fuel fees, no contracts, cancel anytime.
Skim, brush, vacuum, empty baskets, backwash, and a full chemical balance every visit. Same tech, same day each week.
Details →Swamp water to swim-ready. Shock treatment, phosphate removal, filter deep clean and daily follow-ups until it's clear.
Details →Pumps, filters, salt cells, heaters, timers and plumbing leaks. We install and service Pentair, Hayward and Jandy.
Details →You handle the netting, we handle the water chemistry. Weekly testing and dosing with all chemicals included.
Details →Not sure which plan fits? Compare all four on the Westbank pool services page, or call and describe your pool — we will tell you honestly which one you actually need.
Plenty of pool companies in the New Orleans area quote a low monthly rate and then spend eight minutes in your yard dumping a jug of chlorine. Our weekly stop is a complete service every time, and it takes as long as your pool takes. Here is the checklist your technician works through:
You get one flat monthly rate with chemicals included, quoted after we see your pool. Size, tree cover, spas and water features all factor in, so we give you the number before we start, in writing, and it does not move with the season.
We measure your pool, look over the equipment pad and test the water, then quote one flat monthly rate for your Westbank address.
You get a fixed day, the same technician, and a text before every visit so you always know when we are in the yard.
A photo report with your chemical readings lands on your phone after each cleaning, so nothing about your pool is a mystery.
Four local conditions cause most of the pool problems we get called about in Jefferson and Plaquemines Parish.
From March through November the water rarely drops below 80°F. Warm water burns through chlorine fast, so a pool in Harvey or Marrero can go from sparkling to hazy in five days if nobody is testing it. We dose for the week ahead, not for the reading on the strip.
Draining a pool in Gretna or Belle Chasse risks floating the shell right out of the ground. We recover green pools chemically and with filtration instead of emptying them — safer for your plaster and far cheaper for you.
Gulf storms drop oak leaves, pine straw and yard runoff into every pool on the Westbank. We pre-treat before a named storm and prioritize post-storm cleanouts for weekly customers so your pool is not sitting green for two weeks.
Local fill water runs high in calcium and alkalinity, which scales salt cells and clouds water. We monitor cell output and acid-clean on schedule, which is the difference between a cell lasting three years and lasting seven.
A green pool is the most common call we get, and it is almost always fixable without draining. Our green-to-clean is a flat quote and runs over several days: debris out and full water test on day one, pH corrected so the chlorine can actually work, heavy shock and a targeted algaecide, then brushing and clarifier with dead algae vacuumed to waste. We acid-wash cartridges or clean DE grids in the middle of the process, because a clogged filter is the single biggest reason a homeowner's own attempt stalls out halfway.
We also strip phosphates — the food source algae feeds on — so the pool does not turn again two weeks later, and we come back daily until the water is balanced and clear. Most Westbank pools swim-ready in four to seven days. A deep-green pool with a failed pump can take up to two weeks, and we will tell you that up front rather than after you have paid.
If the equipment is what caused the green in the first place, we handle that too. Pumps, motors, filters, salt cells, gas heaters, heat pumps, mechanical timers, automation panels, actuators, LED lights and PVC leak repair at the pad — we stock Pentair, Hayward, Jandy and Polaris parts and warranty our labor for a year.
“Our pool in Terrytown was green after the last storm. They had it swimmable in four days and it has stayed perfect since.”
“Same guy every Thursday, never a missed week, and he replaced our salt cell for way less than the big company quoted.”
“Flat rate with chemicals included made it easy. No surprise bills like our old service in Gretna.”
Westbank only — which is why we are never late and never too busy for a callback.
If you are on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish, in Algiers, or as far south as Belle Chasse, you are on our route. Not sure whether your street is covered? Call or text and we will tell you the same day, along with which weekly service day is open in your neighborhood.
We quote a flat monthly rate after seeing your pool, with every chemical included. Chemicals-only plans and equipment diagnostics are quoted the same way, and diagnostics are credited toward approved repairs.
Yes. Our winters are mild enough that algae never fully goes dormant here, and pollen season in February and March is brutal on filters. Year-round weekly service is far cheaper than a green-to-clean every spring.
No. We just need gate access. You get a text before we arrive and a photo report with your chemical readings when we leave, so you can be at work the whole time.
Weekly customers get priority. We pre-treat before the storm, then work the route in order of severity once it is safe, running extra chlorine and filter cleanings until every pool is back to clear.
Never. Service is month to month and you can pause or cancel with a week's notice. We would rather earn the next month than trap you in a year.
