Van Kirk & Sons Pools & Spas

We found our pool was loosing a lot of water and dropped 1 foot in a day. I’m a very handy DIY type of guy so my son and I spent a few hours in the pool looking for a leak using dye testing in snorkel gear. We didn’t find anything that seamed to be leaking so we called Mario from Somar Pools. The pool is about 8 years old and Van Kirk Pools installed it and did a VERY bad job on the plumbing. After Van Kirk finished it, it leaked a little for a consistent full year and we finely got Van Kirk to look into it. They are a very large pool building company and they sent out their subcontractor Mario of Somar Pools. Somar found the poor craftsmanship of Van Kirk and fixed it in 1 day. So when the pool staring leaking again last week Somar is who I called. They found the leak was behind the main light. Fixed it and all is well again. Funny thing was I never talked to anyone from Somar the whole time. We texted back and forth and after they fixed the leak they emailed me a link to pay the bill. The cost for the repair was more then fair. THANK YOU Somar Pools and Mario and his team.
Van Kirk: I love the pool and how the finish looks. I absolutely hate the plumbing work though. For the past 8 years every time I look at the lack of craftsmanship on how the pipping was plumbed. Then they found out is was plumbed wrong so they cut and redirected the pipes after they thought they were finished sucks. I feel I got ripped off for what we paid and always will. I have a very high regard for craftsmanship and their plumbing crews finish work is like they were the special Olympics of plumbers.

failure to follow code, complete work timely
