New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional hurricane prep & storm damage repair in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Hurricane preparation and storm damage repair for pools in New Orleans covers the pre-season checklist, the days before a named storm, and everything afterwards: debris removal, electrical inspection, equipment replacement, water restoration, and insurance documentation. We give every customer the checklist whether they are on our service route or not, because the most expensive storm damage we see is entirely preventable. Start with the myth that costs people the most money: do not drain your pool before a hurricane. An empty or partly empty shell sitting in ground that is about to become fully saturated can lift, crack, or float out of the ground entirely, and we look at pools every season that were ruined by a well-meaning owner with a submersible pump. The water in your pool is holding the shell down and cushioning the finish against flying debris. Lower it a foot at most if a serious rain event is forecast, and only if the deck drainage cannot handle overflow. The rest of the checklist is straightforward. Super-chlorinate a day or two ahead so the water has a reserve to fight the organic load a storm delivers. Shut off power at the breaker, and where the pad sits low, disconnect and elevate the pump, control panel, and salt cell if there is time. Bring in loose furniture, umbrellas, and toys, because a 90 mile per hour gust turns a side table into a projectile aimed at your tile. Do not throw the patio furniture in the pool: it scratches finishes and some of it stains. Turn off the autofill so a power blip does not empty your meter into the yard. Photograph everything for insurance before the weather arrives. Afterwards we handle the recovery. Debris removal, including the branches and occasional whole tree we routinely find in pools. Electrical inspection before anything is switched back on, because a flooded pad and a live breaker are a genuinely dangerous combination. Motor, control board, heater, and salt cell replacement, since submerged equipment is nearly always a replacement rather than a repair. Full water restoration, which after a serious storm often means a partial drain and refill, heavy shock, and repeated filter cleaning. And documented photographs and itemized invoices in the format insurers actually accept.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

Materials, equipment and how we do hurricane prep & storm damage repair
The difference between hurricane prep & storm damage repair that lasts and hurricane prep & storm damage repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
