There are still a few more weeks of summer left to hold onto, and that means continued vigilance on the condition of your pool. The highly trained team at Jaco Waterproofing wants you to know that it's always important to keep a lookout for any potential problems, especially in regards to a pool's foundation. After 40 years of dedicated waterproofing and foundation repair for both commercial and residential clients throughout the Cincinnati and Dayton areas, they know how effective a watchful eye can be.

In order to know whether your pool needs some sort of foundation repair, keep an eye out for these issues:

Cracks

Visible cracks in the concrete often indicate problems with the soil underneath the foundation. When the moisture level in the soil changes significantly, it can generate enough force to shift the ground underneath. Without crack repair, these could fracture further and cause leaks in the foundation.

Diminishing Water Levels

Although a decrease could be caused by evaporation, either by high temperatures, sun exposure, or humidity, it may also be caused by the aforementioned cracking. If you’re unsure of the cause, call Jaco Waterproofing. Their staff will be able to figure it out and fix the problem quickly and efficiently.

Roughness

Over time, the surface of a concrete pool can erode and break down unevenly, creating a rough surface texture. If this goes untreated for too long, the surface can become scratchy enough that it can cut and scrape people’s feet. To avoid bloodied feet, the surface will need to be repaired, and concrete sealer will need to be applied in order to achieve a smooth finish once again.

If you’ve spotted any of these issues, contact Jaco Waterproofing. Their team will be able to assess the extent of the damage and inform you of any types of foundation repair that may be needed. Learn more about all their services by calling (317) 833-2108 or visiting their website.
