Structural Crack Repair - Beginning To End

leaktronics.com
In this episode of Turning Leak Detection Into Repair Work, we were called to a pool that had previously undergone a leak detection and revealed structural cracking. What happens here is, we don't take someone elses word for it. We began our process with finding where the cracks were and deciding on how repairs would be made ourselves.
The pool was green upon arrival and needed to be drained and cleaned. You'll see in the video, this also required using an acid-wash to get it clean. After what you see in the video, we also applied some cleaning to the surface due to a waterline stain that was caused from the pool sitting stagnant for as long as it did.
Once the pool was drained and cleaned, we misted and mapped the surface to bring out the full detail of structural cracks in the shell. We marked their location for where repairs would be made and began cutting.
Using a hand grinder, we cut wide along the cracks, giving us room to properly install the Torque Lock Structural Staples. The only patented post-tension controlled-compression staple on the market, and the only tool guaranteed to provide up to 5000lbs of compression along both sides of a crack - assuring it wont separate, shear or re-crack in the future.
With the channel cut wide, we marked where our staples would be set, drilled and chipped, then inserted the staples. We applied approximately 24lbs of torque to the staples and began the process of covering them with hydraulic cement.
Once covered, we applied a waterproof coating for added protection after installation. The pool was now ready for re-applying the mud, as you'll see in the video.
Having a professional familiar with color matching helps, you'll see how closely the new Pebbletec match was when the pool was complete.
See the video to witness the pool being refilled and the surface looking as good as it possible could, with a pool repaired and ready for the oncoming summer season of swimming and enjoyment.
