Charleston’s charm lies in its ocean breezes, warm sunshine, and sandy shores — but those same elements that make Lowcountry living so desirable can quietly take a toll on backyard pools. Whether you're a year-round resident or manage a second home in Kiawah, Seabrook, or Mt. Pleasant, understanding how Charleston’s unique climate impacts pool systems is key to protecting your investment.

As Charleston’s real estate season kicks into high gear each spring, homes with pools often attract serious attention — especially in family-friendly areas like Mt. Pleasant, luxury markets on Kiawah and Seabrook Islands, and established neighborhoods West of the Ashley. But when it comes to pools, aesthetics alone won’t close a deal.
