Engineering Phase
Plumbing & Backfill
Where structural integrity meets hydraulic perfection. We run the plumbing lines and lock the shell into the earth simultaneously.
Rigid Schedule 40 PVC
We never use flexible "flex-pipe" which is prone to underground termite damage and crushing. Every trench is plumbed with solid Schedule 40 PVC pipe for maximum durability and flow efficiency.
- Independent home-runs for skimmers and main drains
- Pressure testing all lines before backfilling
- Hard-piping directly to your equipment pad
The Clean Stone Backfill Method
As the plumbing goes in, we simultaneously backfill the gap between the pool shell and the earth using clean crushed stone while filling the inside of the pool with water.
This equalizes the pressure on the inner and outer walls of the shell. The gravel locks tightly into place without compacting or washing away over time, preventing the pool deck from sinking in the future.
