HOUSTON, TX – November 21, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Lone Star Pool Services announced the expansion of its service offerings to include specialized winter pool maintenance and comprehensive pool winterization services for residential properties throughout West Houston. The company stated that the program was developed in response to increasing homeowner concerns about freeze-related equipment damage, algae growth during extended periods of inactivity, and the rising cost of post-winter repairs. As part of the expanded service line, Lone Star Pool Services will integrate its existing expertise in seasonal care with enhanced inspection and evaluation procedures.
The announcement follows a review of customer inquiries and maintenance patterns that indicated a growing need for structured winter support, despite the region’s typically mild but often unpredictable seasonal conditions. The company emphasized that ongoing pool maintenance is often overlooked during winter months, even as occasional freezing temperatures can result in significant damage to pumps, plumbing, filters, and automation systems.
According to the company, it’s not uncommon for West Houston homeowners to be unaware of the risks associated with pausing pool care during winter. Industry assessments show that stagnant water, reduced circulation, and imbalanced chemicals create an environment in which algae can develop even in colder temperatures. Additionally, extended periods of inactivity without proper freeze-protection measures may cause pipes to burst or equipment seals to fail. Lone Star Pool Services reported that the frequency of freeze-related service calls has increased in recent years, largely due to unexpected cold fronts and sudden nighttime temperature drops. The company indicated that homeowners who continued year-round maintenance experienced fewer damages, lower long-term repair costs, and less downtime when reopening their pools in the spring.
The new winter pool maintenance program includes monthly or weekly pool cleaning, routine chemical monitoring, system checks, and optional equipment shutdown procedures designed to match each homeowner’s pool usage patterns. The company also noted that the approach differs from traditional service models because it focuses on preventive action based on real seasonal conditions rather than a fixed maintenance calendar. This adaptive method to regular pool cleaning and maintenance by Lone Star Pool Services allows homeowners to mitigate risks specific to West Houston’s climate, where unexpected cold snaps can occur without warning. The company further stated that the winterization service includes an evaluation of heaters, freeze guards, pumps, timers, and circulation systems to ensure proper operation during low-temperature periods.
Charles McKenney, owner of Lone Star Pool Services, based in west Houston, emphasized that many homeowners underestimate the importance of winter care due to the region’s historically warm climate. “We’ve seen firsthand how unpredictable winter temperatures can be in West Houston,” McKenney said. “Many residents assume their pools are safe during colder months, but even brief freezes can create issues that remain hidden until spring,” McKenney added. He also noted that the company regularly encounters equipment failures that could have been prevented with minimal winter maintenance.
According to the company, even pools equipped with freeze-guard systems may be at risk if sensors malfunction or if water chemistry becomes imbalanced due to inadequate oversight. McKenney addressed this concern, noting, “We believe that winter maintenance is one of the most effective ways to preserve both water clarity and equipment life. A few minutes of monitoring and adjustment during the season can prevent major complications once warmer weather returns.”
Lone Star Pool Services explained that the winterization service also benefits homeowners who travel frequently during the season or leave town for holidays. These clients, according to the company, are particularly vulnerable to freeze-related issues, as they may not be present when temperature alerts require immediate action. The company’s expanded service schedule allows technicians to monitor potential problems during these absences and address concerns before they escalate. McKenney further remarked on this element of the service, stating, “We’ve observed that many homeowners only realize the value of winter protection after experiencing their first equipment failure. This service is meant to prevent those incidents and reduce avoidable repair expenses.”
In addition to working with homeowners who travel frequently, the company noted that winterization services can significantly reduce the likelihood of unexpected system failures brought on by prolonged inactivity. Pools left unattended for several weeks often experience subtle changes in water chemistry or circulation that may go unnoticed until conditions worsen. Lone Star Pool Services stated that these gradual shifts can strain pumps, filters, and heaters, especially when temperatures fluctuate rapidly throughout the season. The company added that consistent oversight during winter helps maintain operational stability and can prevent minor issues from compounding into major repairs.
The company highlighted that West Houston’s unique mix of temperature swings, humidity, and unpredictable weather patterns requires a more nuanced maintenance approach than regions with consistently cold winters. Pools in this region often remain partially active through the season, and some homeowners continue using heating systems for mild recreational swimming. Lone Star Pool Services stated that winter maintenance helps support these hybrid usage patterns by ensuring that water chemistry remains stable and that heating systems do not experience excessive strain. According to the company, winter maintenance also shortens the reopening process in spring, eliminating the need for extensive chemical adjustments or algae treatment.
Lone Star Pool Services indicated winter pool maintenance and inspections often reveal worn components, unstable chemical levels, or aging equipment that could be vulnerable during sudden temperature drops. Addressing these issues before winter weather intensifies helps ensure that freeze-protection systems operate as intended throughout the season.
