Swimming Pools
Your pool has a leak in it. They’re the words that no pool owner wants to hear, whether it’s a concrete swimming pool, spa or horse pool. Not only can a leaking pool cost a fortune in wasted water, the chemicals like chlorine can leak into the ground and cause environmental damage.
Generally, concrete pools are very sturdy structures, and can last for decades if they’re installed correctly and maintained. However, even the most well-built pool can eventually develop cracks for a range of reasons.
The key is to construct your concrete pool correctly from the start, as upkeep and repairs can be expensive. This means using a high quality waterproofing solution. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place!
Signs Of A Leak In A Concrete Pool
- The concrete has cracks or gaps in it.
- The ground around the pool is settling.
- Some tiles are loose or have come off.
- The ground or grass around the pool is soaked and soft
- Your electricity or water bills are higher
Why Do Concrete Pools Crack Or Leak?
A concrete swimming pool or horse pool might develop a leak in its structure, fittings or plumbing.
A structural leak or crack can occur when the pool is constructed, or may develop over time due to:
- The ground moving due to an earthquake
- Groundwater causing pressure (hydrostatic pressure)
- Soil shifting is it’s not compacted enough
- The ground expanding and contracting during cold weather.
- Your electricity or water bills are higher
The pool’s fittings could be a source of leaking (including lights and jets) if they’re not waterproofed correctly at construction.
The pool’s plumbing system could also leak if the system moves (due to ground settling) or corrodes.
Any of these problems could cause leaks that you may not find until serious damage has been done to the pool and ground around it. If you suspect a problem with your concrete pool, jump on the phone and request our leak detection and repair services.
We’ll use the highest quality waterproofing solution to completely seal the whole pool and save you further repairs down the track.

Benefits Of Polyurea For Waterproofing
Polyurea is a fantastic, seamless waterproofing solution for concrete pools. This strong and durable coating has a 0.5mm thick membrane, so it can’t rip, crack or split, and can take a lot of impact. This is ideal for a structure that takes so much water weight and pressure.
The coating is also both chemical and heat resistant, so it’s great in hot spas and chlorine pools.
As pool is generally filled with water all the time, you need a waterproofing sealant that doesn’t sweat or deteriorate in water. Polyurea is perfect because it doesn’t absorb water or swell after being in water.
As well as being airtight and watertight, this concrete sealant is also durable – it can expand and contract as needed, as it’s both flexible and rigid. It’s an amazing product and we highly recommend using it to waterproof any concrete pool during construction.
Over time, it will reduce your maintenance and repair costs, and extend the life of your pool.

The process for waterproofing swimming pools and a horse swimming pool – which is just a larger pool – is to high pressure wash the entire pool, apply Polyurea over tiles and up the walls and around fittings. Where required extra layers of membrane can be applied.
The membrane can be applied up to the edge of pool edge topping tiles or over the topping tiles accordingly.
The Polyurea is normally grey in colour but for pools a light blue colourant is used.
