Among all the services we offer in our company, we want to highlight the pool repair, since it is something essential when a problem occurs, since, if you do not act correctly and in time, the problem can become something irreparable, for this reason in today's new article we want to focus on this.

It is necessary that when your home's pool is many years old, you contact a company specialized in pool repairs, since the structure or surface will surely have weakened due to the passage of time.

No matter how much the pool has been manufactured in perfect conditions and by the best professionals, it is most likely that the materials will weaken and begin to not fulfill their function in the way they should. In these cases, we may find cracks or damage to the filters or pipes, and depending on the damage and the repair time, they may vary. Next, we are going to see the most common cases that we can encounter, firstly, leaks and cracks and secondly, the coating.

Pool repair: Cracks and leaks

As we have said previously, one of the main reasons why most people should contact a company specialized in repairs of swimming pools It is because cracks have formed or because there is a leak. It is very important that as soon as we detect any of these problems, we contact people specialized in the subject, since it is vital to find the reason for the problem as soon as possible so that it does not become complicated and becomes a problem. much more serious.

One of the main causes of cracks is the aging of materials, so we must take into account that the passage of time wears out the materials and the concrete can crack. It is also possible that it is due to the ground conditions, since the water can exert much greater pressure than the pool structure can withstand, thus creating some cracks that are important to repair. Finally, another reason could be earth movements and weather conditions that can seriously affect the main structure of the pool, causing it to crack, and even lose water, which is also a cause of leaks.

Realizing that there is a leak in our pool can sometimes be a bit complicated, since they are not usually seen with the naked eye, unless it is a very serious leak, but for example, if we begin to notice that the level The water is going down a little faster than normal, it is important that we start to pay attention, since it can be for different reasons, such as a leak, or due to the weather conditions, which is sunnier and hotter than at other times. of the year, or even because that week the pool has been used more times and by more people, so it may also be a consequence of the water level decreasing.

We must keep in mind that in summer we can have a water loss of between 2.5 and 3.5 cm, since this would be considered normal. To check this, an easy way to do it is to do some very simple tests with adhesive tape, since, in this way, we can really see where the problem comes from. If when we do this we realize that the water loss is greater than expected, it is time to contact a company specialized in pool repairs.

Pool repair: The coating

When we find a piece of the pool liner damaged, we have two options, on the one hand, we can proceed to eliminate it or think something further and change the entire pool liner, although now it may seem like a very crazy idea, You should think that, if you change small parts at different times, it is very likely that the pool will end up having different shades of blue, so it will not look good aesthetically.

Furthermore, if parts of the coating have already begun to break down, it is most likely that sooner or later we will have to replace the entire thing, which will end up being a much greater expense, so our recommendation is that when you find damage of this type, you should always consider the option of completely changing the pool coating.

Nowadays there is a great offer when it comes to changing the coating, in our company. pool repair We recommend two of them. Firstly, the most economical option is to use a reinforced polyester system, and the second option is to place a PVC membrane, known as a liner.

The reinforced polyester system is a system in which it must be applied in several layers over the entire surface of the pool, each of them must be in the opposite direction to the previous one, in this way, we create a very hard, resistant and without any type of separation. It is true that it can be a very good option, but it is also the simplest and poorest finish of the different ones that we will see in today's article.
