Pool Repairs Gold Coast & Brisbane

Expert support to fix structural cracks

A swimming 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 remediation processes must be carried out with care and efficiency. Our local, professional, and experienced team is here to help!

What causes structural cracks in pools?

Ground Movement

The first significant cause of structural cracks in swimming pools is ground movement. Ground movement is common and can result from soil settling, earthquakes, or nearby construction activities exerting pressure on the pool’s structure.

Regular pool maintenance isn’t just about keeping your pool clean – it’s about pool care more generally. When you have regular pool cleaning and maintenance, it allows for early detection of potential structural cracks developing on the pool surface, tiles, and pool coping. So don’t neglect pool care – it could help save you money on larger structural work down the line!

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, debris 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 of your pool’s cracks, 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 area, surrounding waterline tiles, and stains on the pool surface can indicate a more significant problem, often leading to a concrete pool renovation. Our professional team is equipped with all the right technology, tools, and pool equipment to ensure that your pool is assessed and taken care of with the utmost care.

Signs you might need our swimming pool maintenance services include:

Visible cracks or chips in the surface of your pool: This is the most frequently spotted sign that your pool system needs attention.
Wet patches around your pool: ones that seem to have no relation to rain or weather.
Water loss: if water is disappearing from your pool much faster than usual, or your water bill is significantly higher than it has been.
Unbalanced pool chemical levels: leaks can impact the chemistry of your pool. So, when you’re testing your water quality, and you’re noticing inconsistent chemical levels despite proper pool maintenance, it’s a sign you could have a crack.
Changes to your pool’s shape: buckling walls or pool decks, or just something that doesn’t look the same shape as it used to be, can be a strong indicator that your pool is leaking.

How do we repair structural cracks?

Concrete pool crack repair requires meticulous attention to detail and a strategic approach to ensure long-lasting results. Our maintenance services are designed, ultimately, to extend the lifespan of your or your clients’ swimming pools, so we provide a personalised approach to each individual pool.

Repair Techniques Selection

Each of our pool maintenance techniques 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. Some maintenance might be a stopgap to solve for short-term use, with the aim of a larger pool renovation or resurfacing down the line, or it might be as part of a pool tiling service. Our goal is to restore your pool’s functionality and aesthetic appeal with minimal disruption, whatever it is that you’re looking to achieve.

Our multifaceted approach includes techniques such as:

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. It’s often conducted in conjunction with other structural maintenance work, to
