What to know about Pool closing
A pool closing, or winterization, gets a backyard pool ready for months of freezing weather. The technician cleans and balances the water one last time, lowers the level as the pool and its equipment require, blows the water out of the lines and plugs them, drains and stores the pump, filter and heater, adds winterizing products and secures a cover over the pool.

- Make sure electrical and gas work for heaters, pumps and hot tubs is done by licensed trades.
- Get a written quote that covers excavation, backfill, equipment, decking and site restoration.

- Who will do the electrical and gas hookups, and are they licensed?
- What equipment do you recommend, and why?

- What is included in an opening, closing or maintenance visit?
Pool closing permits in Alberta
Some pool closing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common pool closing questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
