The screen has torn away from the aluminum member.
It can be confusing when you notice that your pool screen mesh appears to have pulled out of the groove on the aluminum member. While it might seem like a simple fix to put the screen back in place, this is often not the case.
What has likely occurred is that the screen has torn away from the aluminum member, leaving it a full millimeter too short.
This typically occurs because of wind or the natural flexing of the aluminum beams over time. These tears are a common sign that your screen has reached its life expectancy and will need to be replaced. When the screen is in good condition, it is strong enough to resist tears from both wind and the flex of the aluminum beams.
If you’re experiencing these issues with your pool screen mesh, it’s best to consult with a professional to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.
Full re-screen may prove to be a more economical solution.
As time passes by, the strength of your screen may decrease, making it more susceptible to tears caused by external forces. If you’ve noticed such tears, a full re-screen may prove to be a more economical solution than just a repair.
You should also keep in mind that polyester screens come with a 15-year warranty against these types of tears. To maintain the overall integrity of your screen, it’s always best to stay proactive and act before the problem worsens. Don’t hesitate to contact a professional for further guidance and assistance.
You may need to replace more than two screen panels.
When it comes to replacing aged screens, it’s important to keep in mind that even if you only have one panel out, we may need to replace more than two panels.
This is because over time, screens can become weakened, and the flex of the aluminum beams can cause tears. It’s crucial to address any issues with aging screens sooner rather than later to prevent further damage and the need for more extensive repairs.
So, if you notice any problems with your screen, it’s best to have it checked out by a professional sooner rather than later to avoid any potential issues down the line.
Pool screen repair cost.
When it comes to pool screen repair costs, there are a few variables that can affect the price. Factors like the height and location of the enclosure, ease of access to the property, and other service calls in the area can all impact the final amount.
However, there is some good news. Your price will include a fixed rate service call fee, which covers the trip, set-up, and the first panel of the screen. Then, a square footage rate will be applied to any additional screen panels that need repair.
While we cannot provide an exact price without assessing your specific situation, we are committed to providing transparent and reasonable pricing for all our clients.
Full re-screen can save you money in the long run.
  It’s important to consider the overall lifespan of the Phifer screen when replacing a torn screen panel on an older one. If the mesh has already reached its 10-year expectancy, chances are that other panels are on the verge of tearing as well. That’s why opting for a full re-screen can save you money in the long run.
Rather than paying for individual service calls to fix each torn panel, investing in a full re-screen means you get more screens for your dollar.
So, if you want to ensure that your Phifer screen continues to look and function at its best, consider the economical choice of a full re-screen.
