SWIMMING POOL INSURANCE – WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

September 20, 2016

Congratulations! You’ve finally decided to build your dream swimming pool, paving the way for days of fun in the sun, parties around the pool and leisurely weekends enjoying the beautiful San Antonio and Austin weather.

And while swimming pools are definitely the main ingredient for fun, it’s important to remember a pool does add a layer of responsibility to homeowners. Creating safety precautions and rules are paramount for pools, as is investing in a swimming pool insurance policy, to ensure you, your guests and your pool are always protected.

But first, let’s talk commonsense safety. Adding safety precautions will set ground rules for your guests, and in addition to pool insurance, will add a layer of protection. Below are a few tips to follow.

Commonsense Swimming Pool Safety

Fencing Your Pool

Building a fence around your swimming pool with a childproof gate greatly reduces the possibility of curious kiddos finding their way into the water.

Adult Supervision With Children

While a no-brainer, it’s important that an adult is always with a child by the pool.

Make Sure Your Guests Know How To Swim

Another no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many adults don’t know how to swim. Make sure you ask guests before entering the pool if they know how to swim or not. If they don’t, make sure they stay in the shallow side.

Keep Glass Away From Pool Area

When you’re barbecuing around the pool, make sure to keep all glass at bay. Use plastic cups and plates to avoid any accidents.

Swimming Pool Insurance

While a standard homeowner insurance policy may cover some personal liability to cover any guest or visitor injuries, it doesn’t cover swimming pool damage.

A swimming pool is a great investment to your home. Think of swimming pool insurance as additional protection to your investment.

"I am a general contractor and I have been using Blue Haven Pools on a professional basis for several years. I had previously used another pool company but I was unsatisfied with their attitudes, so I got a hold of Tyler and I have been using Blue Haven Pools since. I would not use any other business for my pools; that is how much I like them."

"Blue Haven Pools came in, and said they could do the job. It went pretty smooth. There were some minor details that were not their fault, because we had to wait for city inspectors and things like that. However, we still got it done within the time limit. They did a good job, and I am satisfied with how it looks. They are timely. Blue Haven Pools has been around for a long time, and I didn't see any complaints, so they have a pretty good and solid reputation."

"This is my fourth pool with Blue Haven. I like their work and I like their customer service. I like everything about them. I have Blue Haven build two pools in Texas and two in California. And, I had another pool remodeled. They have always been great to work with. They answer any question I have and they tell me things I would have never thought to ask. Anytime I have a problem, they come right out to solve it, or they tell me how do it myself."

"Outstanding job in all areas."

"Blue Haven Pools was a fine experience overall. They did both the pool installation and the service after. The entire project was good."

Andy & Joan U.

"Blue Haven has a great price and great quality work. They also have great service, form the initial contact all the way to the end of the service, when they collect that last payment. After that, they've got the money, so they don't have to pay too much attention. In my opinion, if they want to improve, they have to provide more after the service followup."

David M.

"We look forward to the weeks ahead, mostly I can't wait to jump in! We are already recommending you and your company to our friends and coworkers."

Marty

"Very pleased with the value, quality, customer service."

Brian

"These guys are awesome.They got my pool up and running quick. I would also like to take this time to thank Jim and Zack for their services. Zack my family wants to say thanks for getting the pool ready just in time for the summer break. I can't see why anybody would have a problem with the service you guys provide.Thanks again your customer for life."

Richard

"Blue Haven Pool Builders was just overall pretty good. We did have some issues during construction but they corrected it. We found out about them through an advertisement. It's been three years. Blue Haven Pool Builders was just fair to deal with. It was good!"

Keith F.

"We had Blue Haven Pools do our pool. I was real happy with the workmanship. It is beautiful. The paved stone walls and the waterfall look great. I am extremely happy with the quality."

Kent U.

"We love our pool! We have received so many compliments on the design and colors. Needless to say, I give your name to everyone that sees it."

Elizabeth

"I recommend Blue Haven Pools every opportunity I get. They have been able to gain maybe 8 or 9 referrals from me. I especially appreciate Doug. He is the designer and salesperson that I worked with, and he is awesome. He is very patient with customers, he explains everything clearly, and he is reachable. I would give him a perfect rating. "

Casandra M.

"My husband and I would like to commend one of your employees, Doug Gorsuch. He was so personable, likable and very knowledgeable about his craft. We never felt pressured about our purchase. His customer service skills are exceptional! He has exceeded our expectations!"
