Your pool is more than just a place to swim—it's an investment in your home or business. Over time, pools can develop structural issues that compromise their safety and longevity. Whether your pool is made of concrete, fiberglass, or shotcrete, structural damage can lead to leaks, cracks, and other serious problems. At Gator Leak Detection, we specialize in pool structural repair to ensure your pool remains safe, functional, and beautiful for years to come.

Solid foundations, no matter how small, can support massive structures.

What Is Pool Structural Repair?

‍

Structural repair focuses on fixing the core elements of your pool that keep it stable and secure. This includes the foundation, walls, and other key components that bear the weight of the water and withstand external pressures from soil and groundwater. Common issues like cracks in concrete, fiberglass separation, or plaster deterioration can weaken your pool’s structure.

‍

Our team of experts evaluates every aspect of your pool's construction to identify problems and provide long-lasting solutions. We use advanced techniques like epoxy injections, concrete patching, and rebar reinforcement to restore your pool’s integrity.

Signs You Need Pool Structural Repair

‍

Not sure if your pool needs structural repair? Here are some common signs:

• Cracks in the Pool Walls or Floor: These may appear as hairline fractures or larger gaps in concrete or fiberglass surfaces.
• Leaks: If you notice a drop in water levels that can't be explained by evaporation, you may have a leak due to structural damage.
• Shifting or Settling: Soil movement beneath your pool can cause it to shift or settle unevenly, leading to cracks or foundation issues.
• Bubbling Plaster or Fiberglass Delamination: When plaster starts bubbling or fiberglass begins separating from its base layer, it indicates underlying structural problems.
• Water Stains on Decking: Water seeping through cracks can leave stains on the surrounding deck area.

Our Pool Structural Repair Process

‍

At Gator Leak Detection, we follow a thorough process to ensure the best results:

• Inspection and Leak Detection‍
  • We begin with a detailed inspection of your pool’s structure. Using advanced leak detection services, we identify any hidden leaks caused by cracks or other structural issues.

• Evaluation of Damage
  • Once we locate the problem areas, we assess the extent of the damage. This evaluation helps us determine whether repairs are needed for the walls, foundation, or plumbing system.

• Repair Plan
  • Based on our findings, we create a customized repair plan. This may involve repairing cracks with high-strength materials like epoxy, reinforcing weak areas with new rebar, or replacing damaged sections of concrete.

• Concrete and Fiberglass Repair‍
  • For concrete pools, we use specialized techniques such as shotcrete application to restore damaged areas. In fiberglass pools, we address delamination by applying new layers of resin and fiberglass for a seamless finish.

• Plumbing Repairs
  • Often, structural damage affects the pool’s plumbing system. We offer comprehensive pool plumbing repair services to fix any leaks or broken pipes that may be contributing to water loss.

• Final Inspection
  • After completing repairs, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is secure and functioning properly. We also offer a warranty on our work for added peace of mind.

Common Causes of Pool Structural Damage

‍

Understanding what causes structural damage can help you prevent future problems:

• Soil Movement
  • Changes in soil conditions—such as clay expansion during wet weather—can put pressure on your pool's foundation, leading to cracks.
• Natural Disasters
  • Events like earthquakes or floods can cause significant stress on your pool’s structure due to shifting ground.
• Poor Construction
  • If a pool was not built with proper materials (e.g., low-quality cement) or techniques (e.g., insufficient rebar), it may be more prone to cracking over time.
• Water Pressure Imbalance
  • An imbalance between internal water pressure and external groundwater pressure can cause walls to bow inward or outward.
• Aging Materials
  • Over time, materials like plaster or concrete degrade due to constant exposure to chemicals and moisture.

The Importance of Timely Repairs

‍

Ignoring structural damage in your pool can lead to bigger—and more expensive—problems down the road:

• Increased Risk of Leaks: Cracks will only get worse if left unrepaired, leading to more significant water loss.
• Safety Hazards: A compromised structure poses risks not only for swimmers but also for nearby structures like decks or retaining walls.
• Higher Repair Costs: Small cracks are easier (and cheaper) to fix than major structural failures that require extensive renovation.

By addressing these issues early with professional repairs from Gator Leak Detection, you can save money and extend the life of your pool.
