Tenera was hired to provide specifications for repairing a swimming pool at a residence in King City and to supervise the contractor during the project to ensure all specifications were meticulously followed. The pool had active leaking, and the metal surfaces were rusted, requiring comprehensive waterproofing solutions.
Repair Method
The first step involved repairing the cold joint (a weak area where two concrete slabs meet) around the entire pool. The joint was slightly opened with a chipping gun to allow for effective waterproofing. Given the active leak, polymer cement was first applied throughout the joint and dried using a torch. A specialized sealer was then applied, followed by a patch running along the entire joint. Once the concrete had cured, it was coated with an industrial-strength adhesive, and a waterproofing material was installed as the final layer.
For the vertical joints, the gray tape that had been previously used was removed, and a specialised crack-filling material was applied, followed by a waterproofing layer.
Next, the metal wall surrounding the pool was cleaned with a grinder and solvent to remove any accumulated rust in preparation for coating.
As a final step, all the areas mentioned were sealed with a gray polyaspartic coating, a polyurea-based waterproofing membrane. This coating provides lasting sealing while renewing the surface and offers a choice of colors and options for a textured look.
Benefits of the Repair
The comprehensive repair process described above offers several significant benefits. First and foremost, addressing the cold joint and vertical joints ensures that the pool is protected from future leaks, safeguarding the structure and preventing costly water damage. The use of polymer cement and specialised sealers provides a durable, long-lasting solution that can withstand the pressures of constant water exposure. By removing rust and applying a polyaspartic coating, the metal surfaces are not only restored but also protected from future corrosion, extending the lifespan of the pool. Additionally, the choice of coating enhances the pool's aesthetic appeal, with options for customised colors and textures that can match the homeowner's preferences. Overall, these repairs ensure that the pool remains watertight, visually appealing, and structurally sound for years to come.
