Does Your Pool Need Crack Repair?
Is that crack a structure crack or a surface crack? Do you need emergency pool crack repair?
Finding a crack in your pool can be a pretty worrying experience.
And while you may feel inclined to panic, a crack is not always a cause for alarm. Not all holes or fissures mean the same thing, the trick is being able to tell the difference between what’s superficial and what’s severe.
If you’ve recently discovered a crack in your pool, but aren’t sure how bad it is, we’re here to help.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to recognize swimming pool cracks, and what could be causing them.
Here are the 4 most common reasons you might need pool crack repair:

Call Texas Fiberglass Pools Inc. If Your Pool Is Leaking Water
Over time, pools, spas, fountains, and baptistries might develop surface cracks. When people see a pool crack or leak, they often fear the worst: a total replacement or fiberglass pool resurfacing. In many instances, however, a simple patch to the offending area may be all that is required, saving you downtime and money.
When your home or commercial pool needs a repair, it’s important to call an experienced pool repair technician for the job. When the gel coat is compromised, water can seep into the surface, which in turn causes it to break down. Only an experienced specialist knows how to handle a repair without destroying the surface during the process.
The problem with most superficial repairs is that a fiberglass pool shell has the tendency to “flex” ever so slightly when the ground shifts. This is a good thing compared to concrete because fiberglass won’t crack. But it can be a bad thing because superficial repairs can flex apart and fail. That’s why you don’t want to trust your fiberglass repair job to someone inexperienced doing Pool Repair, like a fiberglass boat specialist for example.
With a fiberglass shell, the pool must be stabilized during the repair in order to keep the sand bed behind it from shifting and causing even more damage. Even a modestly high water table can destroy the shell by trying to float it. Any leak allowing water under the pool shell can cause that sand bed to shift, which negatively affects the structural integrity of the entire pool.

Texas Fiberglass Pools Inc. is the leading pool and spa restoration company in Texas, specializing in fiberglass resurfacing and repair. Fiberglass pool resurfacing is an evolving technology that has been used in the swimming pool industry for over 50 years. Fiberglass gel coat is nonporous and smooth; dirt and algae are less likely to find a foothold. It’s the restoration material of choice no matter what kind of repair you need.
Fiberglass has a superior strength-to-weight ratio as compared to other materials. It also has the least expansion and contraction with heat, cold, and stress plus it acts as an insulator keeping pool water about 10 degrees warmer. It’s the material most often used in water-related industries: sailboats, kayaks, waterparks, surfboards, and jet skis. It’s environmentally friendly and made of natural elements that are heated, melted, and reshaped.
When you need pool repair, look no further than Texas Fiberglass Pools Inc. We can tackle gunite, concrete, and plaster pool leak repairs, pool plumbing repair, and even repair and restore baptistries. We have decades of experience and have yet to encounter a pool we couldn’t restore and repair.
