Meet every new LA pool owner before the pool is filled.

Every week, New Pool Alerts sends your pool service company the new swimming pool and spa permits issued in your ZIP codes. That's the address, the date, the job size and the builder, pulled straight from Los Angeles public records.

New pool & spa permits in the City of LA, last 30 days

Live count from LADBS public records

How it works

There's nothing to install or learn. You get one email every Monday.

1

Pick your ZIP codes

Tell us the neighborhoods your trucks already drive through.

2

We watch the permits

Our system checks LA's building permit records every day for new pools and spas.

3

You knock first

Send a postcard or door hanger, or stop by while the pool is still being built. You're the first service company the owner hears from.

One new account pays for a year.

A new pool owner hasn't picked a service company yet. They don't have a "pool guy" and they don't know how to balance chemicals. If you're the first company to reach them, you have the best shot at the account, and service customers often stay for years.

Questions

Where does the data come from?

From the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), which publishes every building permit it issues as public record. We filter for new swimming pools and spas, clean up the records, and sort them by your ZIP codes.

Isn't the pool builder going to service it?

Many pool builders build pools and move on. They don't run weekly cleaning routes. That leaves the owner of a brand-new pool searching for a service company, and you can reach them first.

Do you include homeowner names or phone numbers?

No. We give you the property address and job details from the permit. Most companies reach the owner with a mailed postcard or a door hanger, which works well and respects the homeowner's privacy.

Which areas do you cover?

The City of Los Angeles, which includes the San Fernando Valley, the Westside, Hollywood Hills, East LA, South LA and the Harbor area. Other cities, like Pasadena, Burbank and Glendale, keep separate permit records. Let us know if you need them.

How do I cancel?

You can cancel anytime in your PayPal account under "Automatic payments," or email us and we'll cancel it for you.
