Overview
Cracks in a pool shell are common in Texas because of expansive clay soils and ground movement. A surface patch alone won't hold — the crack keeps moving and reopens. We address cracks structurally by stapling across them to lock the shell together, then bond and seal the surface so it stops leaking and resists future spreading.
Common Problems & Signs
- Visible cracks in plaster, gunite, or the shell
- Water loss that tracks with a crack
- Hollow-sounding plaster near a crack
- Recurring cracks after past surface patches
Common Causes
- Expansive clay soil movement (very common in Texas)
- Settling and ground shift
- Freeze-thaw stress
- Original construction or rebar issues
How We Do It
Assess crack type
We determine whether the crack is structural or surface-only.
Staple the crack
Staples are set across structural cracks to lock the shell.
Bond and seal
We bond the crack and seal the surface to stop leakage.
Blend the finish
We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Why homeowners choose us for this
A hidden leak only wastes more water and costs more to fix the longer it goes undetected. The sooner we test, the less you lose.
Every repair backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Pool Crack Repair & Stapling FAQs
Why do pool cracks keep coming back?
Surface patches don't address movement. If a crack is structural, it needs to be stapled and bonded so the shell is locked together — otherwise ground movement reopens it.
Will the repair be visible?
We blend repairs into the surrounding surface, and pairing crack repair with resurfacing gives a fully uniform finish.
