Industry Snapshot

The pool service industry is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing number of residential pool installations. With over 10 million residential pools in the U.S., the demand for professional maintenance services is rising. Pool Scouts benefits from this trend by offering a branded, professional alternative in a largely fragmented market. The industry is characterized by its seasonal nature, with peak business occurring during the warmer months.
