SWIMMING POOL WATERPROOFING

Common Signs of Pool Leakage

Depending on the surface area of your pool, losing water through evaporation is a natural phenomenon. However, if you suspect that the rate of water loss has been increasing, that may be a sign that there could be water leakage somewhere in the pool.

You should start looking out for signs of water leakage by checking around the perimeter for wet patches on the ground around the pool. If there is noticeable wetness or eroding areas, this could be a sign that water has been leaking out of the pool. If the groundwater table is low, any leaking water will be quickly absorbed into the ground, causing a degree of soil erosion.

Water leakages in a swimming pool could also originate from faulty pump systems. Conduct a regular check of the pump, filter and pipe valves for any signs of leaks. In most cases, a failure in your swimming pool’s waterproofing system may not be immediately apparent. If you suspect that there might be an issue with your pump system, do not

Swimming Pool Waterproofing Repair

Typically, many swimming pools are constructed of concrete, which does not have any inherent waterproofing properties. Concrete is rather proud and allows permeation of water over time unless it is treated with a layer of waterproofing coating applied to the pool shell. To be a fully functional pool without leakages, the swimming pool has to be completely treated with waterproofing to prevent any seepage through cracks and pores. However, most leakages occur in areas where it is more challenging for waterproofing to be applied – in areas such as drainages, lighting and pipings, water might still seep in if waterproofing is not properly applied around the edges.

Effective swimming pool waterproofing does not only prevent water from exiting the pool, but it also helps prevent external water from entering it from the ground.

Here are some of the appropriate materials that have been proven to be effective in waterproofing swimming pools:

Polyurethane – a crystalline compound which forms a water-resistant membrane with greater durability than bitumen-based materials

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermoplastic polyolefin – waterproof sheets that create a durable, strong membrane

Ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) – a synthetic rubber with extremely durable qualities. They are proficient waterproofing sheets that are highly efficient for swimming pool waterproofing.
