Surfside Pool Service and Leak Detection
Surfside is a close knit beachfront community with a unique blend of coastal charm and upscale residential living. Homes throughout Surfside often feature beautifully designed pools that serve as focal points for entertaining, relaxation and everyday enjoyment. Because the community sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, Surfside pools face distinct environmental pressures that require specialized maintenance and experienced technical care. Somar Pools provides Surfside homeowners with the level of service these properties demand, combining decades of expertise with a strong commitment to engineering level precision.
Somar Pools, LLC is recognized throughout Miami-Dade County for excellence in luxury pool maintenance, construction support and leak detection. As a licensed Florida Pool Contractor, our team delivers a level of oversight and professionalism aligned with Surfside’s residential expectations. Our work has earned national recognition, including the Pinnacle Design Award for a structurally advanced suspended saline infinity edge pool, built alongside Choeff Levy Fischman Architecture + Design and Steigerbuilt, LLC. We have also received six consecutive Houzz Design Awards between 2019 and 2024 and have been featured in Luxury Pools and Outdoor Living Magazine. These achievements reflect the quality and technical depth we bring to Surfside pools of every size and design.
How Surfside’s Environment Shapes Pool Care
Although Surfside is smaller than neighboring communities, its environmental conditions are uniquely demanding. Homes near Harding Avenue, Collins Avenue, Byron Avenue and the 88th through 96th Street corridor experience shifting winds, strong sunlight and salt air that influence water chemistry and equipment durability.
Waterfront properties on Biscaya Island or along the Intracoastal face even greater environmental variation, including:
- Constant moisture from ocean and bay exposure
- Elevated evaporation due to wind and sun
- Added strain on pumps and filters from organic and windborne debris
- Higher chlorine demand throughout the year
- Accelerated mineral buildup on tile and stone
Somar Pools evaluates these factors during each visit, adjusting water balance, cleaning routines and system checks to maintain stability despite rapidly changing coastal conditions.
Weekly Pool Service for Surfside Homes
Weekly service is essential for Surfside homeowners due to the surrounding salt air, abundant sunlight and year round swimming. Somar Pools provides the level of consistency needed to maintain clear water, protect surfaces and ensure long term equipment performance.
Weekly service may include:
- Chemistry balancing specifically calibrated for ocean influenced environments
- Brushing and vacuuming to protect finishes and prevent algae growth
- Tile line cleaning for mosaic, porcelain and natural stone materials
- Skimmer and pump basket cleaning to maintain strong circulation
- Filter pressure checks and system adjustments for optimal flow
- Inspection of pumps, heaters, automation controls and spa features
- Water level evaluation and identification of emerging issues
- Seasonal adaptation based on storms, rain cycles and wind patterns
Many Surfside pools feature glass tile interiors, modern stone decks or spillover spas that require careful maintenance to avoid etching, staining or mechanical imbalance.
Leak Detection Expertise for Surfside Properties
Surfside’s coastal setting increases the importance of early leak detection. Both older homes and modern builds on the island may experience movement in soil conditions or shifts in plumbing lines due to moisture, heat and surrounding vegetation. Without prompt detection, leaks can lead to significant structural or equipment damage.
Somar Pools uses advanced leak detection equipment to locate issues accurately and efficiently. Our methods may include:
- Electronic listening tests to locate underground leaks
- Pressure testing for plumbing lines and spa connections
- Dye testing to identify cracks or structural seepage
- Evaluation of skimmers, returns, drains and fittings
- Assessment of elevated spas, water features and perimeter overflows
For homes on Biscaya Island or along the water, where foundations and pool shells face higher moisture variation, our precise and minimally invasive diagnostics help protect both the pool and the surrounding landscape.
Architectural Styles That Influence Pool Maintenance in Surfside
Surfside’s residential profile is diverse, creating a range of pool designs that require unique maintenance considerations.
Waterfront Homes on Biscaya Island
These properties frequently include large pools with unobstructed views of the Intracoastal. High exposure to wind and sunlight demands regular chemistry adjustments and debris removal to preserve clarity.
Single Family Homes East of Harding Avenue
Many homes in this section include classic Miami Beach architectural influences paired with modern pool upgrades such as LED lighting, automation and saltwater systems.
Homes Near the Community Center and Town Hall Areas
Properties closer to the interior of Surfside often feature shaded pools and tropical landscaping, increasing organic debris and requiring tailored cleaning routines.
Renovated Older Homes
Some homes in Surfside combine original structural elements with modern resurfacing or new equipment. These hybrid systems benefit from ongoing monitoring, particularly related to older plumbing lines.
Modern Luxury Builds
New construction throughout Surfside may include automation platforms, multi zone circulation systems, saltwater generators, raised spas and perimeter overflow designs, each requiring detailed calibration.
Somar Pools adjusts weekly maintenance and long term service plans based on the specific architectural and environmental characteristics of each property.

Preventive strategies may include:
- Monitoring pump performance, energy patterns and flow rates
