Pool Closing in Oakdale, NY
Empire Pools provides complete, stress-free pool closings in Oakdale — precision line blow-outs, skimmer protection,
equipment pad winterization, winter chemistry balancing, and a secure safety-cover install with even tension.
Oakdale sits along Great South Bay and the Connetquot corridor, which means gusty shoreline winds, salt air,
and heavy fall leaf drop from mature neighborhoods like Idle Hour. We plan your closing around those conditions:
anchors and hardware are inspected, valves are tagged for spring start-up, and we photograph key steps so you have a clear record.
You’ll finish the season with a tidy pad, a tight cover, and confidence that your pool and plumbing are protected all winter.

Closings Tuned to Oakdale
Shoreline breezes off Great South Bay and streets bordering Idle Hour can lift loose covers and stress hardware.
We verify anchor layout/condition and tension straps to prevent rubbing and staining through winter storms.
From Montauk Hwy and Oakdale-Bohemia Rd to the canals near Vanderbilt and the Connetquot Preserve,
we schedule closings to beat cold snaps and leaf surges so spring opening is smooth.
