Pool Coping Issues to Look Out For

The matter of pool coping is an under-discussed topic when it comes to conversations about pool maintenance. Pool owners specifically should have a good understanding of the intricacies of the subject because the frequency with which problems can arise as a result of coping is high. It’s something that all pool owners should look to address should an issue appear. Here are some of the more notable pool coping issues to be on the lookout for. 

Failure to Properly Seal Concrete Coping

In the aftermath of installing your coping which is often done so using concrete, you typically will add a layer of sealant on top of the coping to help reduce the permeability of its surface. One of the more notable issues that can afflict your swimming pool occurs as a result of warmer weather causing water to seep through the concrete coping. You will then begin to see cracks and fractures as more water permeates through the concrete. This will happen if you are not routinely reapplying the sealant. With a careful eye and periodic maintenance, this issue can be avoided.

Water Breaching the Tiles

Similarly, if the concrete pool coping itself has been installed incorrectly then you will run into a heap of trouble. Water will breach the pool tiles and get behind into the concrete. The water will degrade the concrete which in turn will cause the tiles to fall off in short order. This all could be remedied though you would first need to consult with a professional to explore your options prior to making a decision. The important lesson to this particular issue is to ensure that pool work requires a knowledgeable experienced team like So Cal Pool Plaster who knows the processes and the pitfalls to avoid.
