Entrapment accidents are silent but deadly. Our team helps commercial pools in Fort Lauderdale meet VGB standards through expert inspections and installations.
Pool entrapment occurs when water suction from a drain is strong enough to pin a person underwater. Hair, limbs, or body pressure alone can create a seal that makes escape nearly impossible. This hazard is especially severe in commercial pools, where suction flow rates are higher and systems serve more users. The Virginia Graeme Baker Act mandates that all public and commercial pools have anti-entrapment drain covers to prevent these tragedies.
Our VGB compliance process starts with a site assessment, where we evaluate all pool and spa drain covers, suction outlet configurations, and existing safety systems. We determine if your covers are expired, improperly fastened, or non-compliant with current ASME/ANSI standards. If needed, we retrofit single drains into dual-drain systems, install SVRS devices, or recommend unblockable covers that eliminate entrapment risk.
Each job is performed by licensed techs certified in suction entrapment mitigation. We record all pressure test data, manufacturer specs, and flow ratings, then issue a compliance report for your records.
Drain covers exposed to the Florida climate wear out faster than many managers realize. That’s why we install high-grade materials designed for UV, chlorine, and salt exposure. All covers meet or exceed ASME A112.19.8 or A112.19.17 performance criteria. They come with expiration tags and are reinforced with tamper-proof hardware and compliant sump structures.
Our goal isn’t just to pass inspection—it’s to prevent tragedy. We design each system with real-world use and worst-case scenarios in mind.
Our clients include hotel chains, municipalities, private academies, condo associations, apartment complexes, and swim clubs throughout Fort Lauderdale. Any facility that offers public pool access must meet federal entrapment safety laws. If you’re unsure of your compliance status—or haven’t changed covers in over 5 years—you’re overdue for an inspection.
We work around operating hours and off-peak times to avoid disrupting your business. Our team is fast, efficient, and equipped for large commercial systems with multiple pools and spas.
Drain covers come with fixed life expectancies—often just 5–7 years. If you can’t verify install dates or documentation, you’re at risk of failing a health inspection or insurance audit. Our inspections identify expired or at-risk components before they cost you a violation.
We maintain all records in our secure digital archive and provide you with printed reports, drain cover ID numbers, and date tags. If you’re ever asked for proof, it’s just a click away.
We design every system to satisfy not just minimum legal standards but the highest safety expectations.
Every technician is certified in drain safety systems, flow dynamics, and Florida pool code.
We track expiration dates, issue compliance certificates, and store everything in your client portal.
We offer early morning, weekend, and overnight appointments to keep your pool open and compliant.
For urgent issues—like missing drain covers or safety citations—we’re available day and night. One call and we’re on our way to restore safety and compliance.
