In the months since the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act went into effect, problems have come to the surface and compliance is far from complete nationwide.
While many reputable firms are busy retrofitting commercial pools, still other companies are doing sloppy work and/or overcharging for services.
Retrofits can cost anywhere from several hundred dollars for drain cover replacements to $5,000 or more if plumbing also must be addressed. Prices climb higher if the renovation is more extensive and includes system tests, engineer’s fees and the like. It is not unheard of for remodels to cost tens of thousands of dollars.
