If you own a concrete or fiberglass pool, the surface many need to be renovated every 10-15 years. This helps protect the pool construction and creates a safe surface for swimmers. Especially in concrete pools, it is vital to keep a protective surface; concrete is porous and will seep water. Plus, the surface of the pool is what people see; if it is worn or faded, it can detract from the beauty of your home and pool. Here are three signs to look for to determine if it is time to resurface your pool.
- Cracks in the surfaces. Whether they are tiny check or egg shell cracks, or deeper cracks in the surface, this is a sign it is time to resurface. Deeper cracks can lead to leaking and more intensive pool repairs.
- Stains, fading and discolorations. Dark stains from rust or other substances can mar the surface of your pool, but it can also mean the surface is too thin. Fading and other loss of consistent color can make your pool look dirty or unkept, which can be fixed with a resurfacing.
- Chipping or flaking. If pebbles are coming loose, or you notice chipping or flaking of the surface, it is time to add a new surface to your pool. This can protect the shell underneath and give your pool a new look.
There are surfaces that come with 10-15 year or even lifetime warranties. Give your pool a new look and protect it from damage if you see any signs of surface problems. Call your local pool renovation company to learn more about the many options available for resurfacing.
