When properly maintained, a swimming pool can provide years of enjoyment for you and your family. However, even a properly cared for pool will encounter occasional problems and catching them early can help you save time and money. Here are three clues that you need professional swimming pool repair.

These 3 Signs Indicate That It’s Time for Experts to Perform Pool Repairs

1. Cracked Walls & Floor

Some cracks in a swimming pool are superficial, only indicating broken tiles. However, if the cracks run deeper into the foundation of the pool, they’ll create leaks and damage the pool’s substructure, eroding the surrounding soil. Until the issue is repaired, it’s best to drain your pool to prevent this erosion from worsening.

2. Peeling Plaster

Plaster on the surface of a pool creates an elegant aesthetic, but the attractiveness is ruined when that plaster starts to peel. This is often caused by an improper balance of cleaning chemicals. When these chemicals are too strong or not properly balanced, they’ll eat away at the plaster, causing it to peel or crack. To fix the issue, it’ll be necessary to resurface the damaged area and reevaluate the cleaning chemicals you use.

3. Clogged Pipework

Performing regular treatments should be enough to keep the water crystal clear; however, if it becomes murky and clouded, there may be a problem in your pipes. The pipework could be clogged, requiring an expert to clean it out. It’s also possible that the sand filter has stopped working or that the pool pump is broken. You’ll need to have this issue repaired to restore the water quality.
