Pool Repairs & Structural Cracks

Expert support to fix structural cracks

A pool crack can occur due to ground movement, poor construction, or ageing materials, causing leakages, water damage, problems with your concrete structure, and even structural failure, requiring in-depth structural pool crack repair.  To prevent further damage and extend the useful life of a concrete pool, crack repair processes must be carried out with care and efficiency. 

What causes structural cracks in pools?

Ground Movement

The first significant cause of structural cracks is ground movement, which can result from soil settling, earthquakes, or nearby construction activities exerting pressure on the pool’s structure. Regular pool maintenance is crucial, especially for concrete pool renovations, as it allows for early detection of potential structural cracks developing on the pool surface, tiles, and pool coping.

Poor Construction

Inferior construction methods or the use of substandard materials can significantly amplify the risk of cracking in concrete pools. These deficiencies lead to a weakened structure, increasing the likelihood that structural pool crack repair will be required. As the pool ages, the presence of these flaws can compromise its durability and longevity, necessitating timely maintenance and concrete pool renovation efforts to ensure its continued functionality and safety.

Time and Exposure

The natural ageing process of pool materials, combined with exposure to harsh weather conditions and chemicals, can weaken the swimming pool structure, eventually causing cracks to form and requiring structural pool crack repair. Over time, these minor problems can escalate, requiring a more costly, time-consuming concrete pool renovation.

How do we detect structural cracks in concrete pools?

For a comprehensive repair, it is essential to accurately identify the root cause of the crack. This may involve thoroughly examining surface cracks that impact aesthetics and structural cracks that compromise the pool’s integrity. Observation of the swimming pool surrounding waterline tiles and stains on the pool surface can indicate a more significant problem, often leading to a concrete pool renovation.

How do we repair structural cracks?

Concrete pool crack repair requires meticulous attention to detail and a strategic approach to ensure long-lasting results, ultimately extending the lifespan of your clients’ swimming pools. Our multifaceted approach includes:

Epoxy or Polyurethane Injections

These injections are a popular choice for quickly sealing cracks, offering a cost-effective solution for short-term fixes. They work well for minor structural repairs, preventing water leakage and further damage.

Hydraulic Cement

Known for its rapid setting time, hydraulic cement is applied to swiftly address and seal smaller cracks. Although it provides an expedient remedy, it’s often used in conjunction with more durable repair strategies for comprehensive results.

Rebar Staples (“Stapling”)

Implementing rebar staples offers a robust solution to not only bridge cracks but also prevent their expansion. This method strengthens the affected area, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the repair.

Repair Techniques Selection

Each technique is selected based on the specific needs of the repair, balancing considerations such as the severity of the crack, cost, and the desired longevity of the repair. Our goal is to restore your pool’s functionality and aesthetic appeal with minimal disruption.
