Swimming Pool Waterproofing
The base and walls of a swimming pool are subject to constant water pressure. Swimming pools are also constantly facing hydrostatic pressure from outside of the pool. These pressures cause pools to develop faults and failure points over time. The cracks often started small but will eventually lead to serious leakage problem. For existing pool, hunting down the cracks responsible for the leak can be a lengthy process due to the complexity of the swimming pool structure. For pools in construction, planning and implementing proper waterproofing will significantly reduce the cost of re-waterproofing in the future. Concrete itself is a porous substance that is water permeable and it has to be sealed to prevent water from penetrating through them. All swimming pools must be waterproofed before putting to use.Reason for Waterproofing
- Prevents leaks caused by cracks
- Prevents structural damage
- Provides long-term protection for your swimming pool.
- Minimizes the chances of water infection especially from external sources.
- Prevents swimming pool water from being contaminated by external sources
