Green pool recovery across the Bay Area

A pool that's been neglected for even a few weeks — after a vacation, a change of ownership, or a heat wave that accelerated algae growth — can turn green fast. NorTech connects you with background-checked, vetted local providers who remove heavy debris, brush and vacuum to waste as needed, shock and treat the algae, clean or backwash the filter, and rebalance the water, with a follow-up check within a few days to confirm it's holding clear.

When to book green pool recovery (algae clean-up)

The pool has turned green, cloudy, or visibly murky.

You've just moved into a home with a neglected pool.

Regular chemicals and brushing haven't kept up with algae growth.

You're reopening a pool after it sat untreated for a while.

The water is cloudy even though it doesn't look green yet.

72-Hour Satisfaction Guarantee

If something was missed, report it within 72 hours and your provider makes it right — free.

Frequently asked

Green Pool Recovery (Algae Clean-Up) — common questions

Most pools clear within a few days of treatment; your provider's follow-up check confirms it's holding before calling the job done.

No — this uses standard shock treatment and mechanical cleaning; it won't damage plaster or tile. If the plaster itself is stained, a separate acid-wash service is the better fit.

Usually not — most green-pool recoveries are handled without draining. Your provider will tell you if drainage is genuinely needed for your specific situation.

Yes — a 72-hour Satisfaction Guarantee applies, alongside the included follow-up check. Report anything missed within 72 hours and it is made right; algae returning later because of weather, a failed pump, or no upkeep is not covered.
