How would you classify my business? Its a pool cleaning service. We brush, vacuum, skim and keep the pool water chemistry balanced weekly.

I am just having difficulty finding an accurate discription as I attempt to get quotes on general liability for my business and for tax purposes. It is technically a janitorial/maid/cleaning service, because we disinfect and chemically treat pools, but I don't work on or in a building. Nothing seems "close" enough of the descriptions.
