Gunite Pool Repair

A gunite pool is a great pool and preferred by most homeowners, but will need pool repair some day, just like any other pool. The reason people prefer a gunite pool is because they can be molded to any shape and design that you want and are far stronger than regular concrete. It can be colored, embedded with a design, or covered with tiles, stones, etc.
Unfortunately, like every pool, there are certain problems that can arise, and you might need pool repair, even if the pool is built by a professional. Gunite pools can crack several different ways.

How did my Gunite Pool Crack?

A gunite pool can crack various ways, including:

• Normal aging
• Erosion
• Ground surrounding the pool shifts; earthquake, freezing and thawing, etc.
• If there is water behind the structure, it can pass through and change temperature, expanding and contracting the gunite

Small hairline cracks may be able to be very easily repaired; however, certain cracks cannot be simply plastered over. Cracks that are structural in nature must be stabilized to prevent the crack from widening. Pool repair is something that cannot be done easily by non-professionals.

Tips from your Favorite Pool Pavers, Tropical Pools and Pavers!

We follow these exact steps to make sure your pool pavers resemble the tropical paradise that you’re family has dreamed of!

• Soil preparation
• Soil compaction
• Preparing paver base
• Laying pavers
• Cutting pavers
• Filling joints

First thing we will do is smooth the soil around your pool, level it and get it ready to compact it. After it is compacted, we will then apply a separation fabric that will be under the paver base. Our next step will be to prepare and apply the paver base. Approximately 2 inches of base is applied. Once this is done we are ready to start laying the pavers!

Laying pavers are usually done in a left to right order. Strings are set before we start in order to guide us and make sure the pavers are in a perfectly straight line. They are laid one by one in a continuous line until done! A soft hammer is used to ensure the pavers are level onto the paver base.

People that are in search of a pool remodeling company should get multiple quotes from different licensed pool builders, have a good estimate of their budget constraints and make sure they receive a warranty of some sort from the company that is hired.

These following pool remodeling tips will help you with ideas to make your pool desirable again:

• Add water-features to your pool
• Change your pool texture

• Add lights in and/or around your pool

Also, make sure to ask the company if it is licensed and insured, and don’t be afraid to ask if they can show you their license and insurance. If they are not properly licensed and insured and anyone is hurt during the project, the homeowner is automatically responsible.
