Remove ugly calcium buildup and restore your pool tiles to like-new condition.
See that white or gray crusty line along your pool tiles? That is calcium scale buildup, and it makes even the cleanest pool look neglected. Regular brushing barely touches it. Scrubbing with household cleaners wastes your time and energy. You need professional tile cleaning to actually remove it.
Calcium deposits form when your water chemistry stays unbalanced for too long. High pH, high calcium hardness, or high alkalinity all contribute to scale formation. The coastal water in Pacifica tends to be harder, which makes this problem worse. Once it builds up, only proper removal techniques work.
We use specialized equipment and professional-grade chemicals to dissolve calcium scale without damaging your tiles or grout. The results are dramatic. Your tiles look brand new again, and your entire pool looks cleaner. Many customers combine tile cleaning with our deep pool cleaning service for a complete refresh.
We use different techniques depending on how severe your buildup is and what type of tile you have:
For light to moderate calcium deposits, we apply professional-grade acid-based solutions that dissolve the scale safely. This works well on ceramic and porcelain tiles without damaging the surface. We carefully control the concentration and application time to remove buildup while protecting your grout lines.
For heavy buildup or glass tiles that cannot handle acid, we use bead blasting. This technique shoots tiny glass beads at high pressure to physically remove calcium without scratching the tile surface. It works incredibly well on stubborn deposits that have built up for years.
For spot treatment and delicate areas, we carefully use pumice stones to manually scrape away calcium. This takes more time but gives us precise control. We use this technique around special tile work, steps, and spa spillways.
After cleaning your tiles, proper water balance prevents new buildup. Our weekly maintenance service includes regular chemistry testing to keep your water balanced and your tiles clean.
Once we clean your tiles, you want to keep them looking good. Here is what helps prevent new calcium deposits:
Proper water balance also prevents other problems. If you have been dealing with algae issues, check out our green pool treatment service for complete water restoration.
Calcium buildup is more than just ugly. It creates rough surfaces that scrape swimmers and collect dirt and algae. It makes your entire pool look dirty even when the water is perfectly balanced. And once it gets thick enough, it becomes nearly impossible to remove without professional equipment.
Clean tiles also protect your investment. Severe calcium buildup can damage grout and even etch tile surfaces if left too long. Regular tile cleaning keeps everything in better condition and makes your pool more enjoyable to use.
For Pacifica homeowners selling their property, clean tiles dramatically improve curb appeal and make your pool look well-maintained. It is one of the best improvements you can make before listing your home.
