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.
