Nelson Pool Company

Hi Justin, To find leaks in swimming pools we use different techniques, one is using dye, that is a simple way to locate structural leaks. We also use a technique that we call it “gravity test”, it involves dye and the forces of gravity to see if a pool pipe is leaking. And the other technique is using a ultrasonic machine. This machine allows us to find the noise of a leak from a pool pipe when we send a combination of water and compressed air into a pipe. We can locate leaks in a pipe even if it is 5’ underground and has concrete over it.

Many things can cause pool leaks, anywhere from normal wear and tear, the ground shifting under the pool as it naturally does, or human error. How we repair depends on what the leak is. If it's the skimmer throat (very common) we cut into the deck, around the skimmer and remove it. We install the new one then seal with hydraulic cement. A pool crack, we drain the pool and chip down around the crack before using rebar staples to close it before resealing it with hydraulic cement and the surface that your pool has.

Hi! Thank you for your question! It all deppends on what kind of "repair" you are asking for. If you are talking about an epoxy seal, (which is not a permanent repair), it comes with a 70 days warranty, but sometimes they last a lot long, depending the leak location and how severe the leak was before we put the epoxy seal. To do a permanent repair after we have performed a leak detection, it comes with one year warranty of parts and workmanship.

There are a couple of advantages you can get from having a pool in these formats. One advantage is how customizable these pools are. You have much more flexibility in the shape of the pool, and the finish, as well as what features you can have installed on the pool. Not only that, but gunite and concrete pools are much more durable. The chemicals in a pool will break down a fiberglass pool, or the vinyl liner much quicker than the pool finishes used in a gunite or concrete pool.

The three most common types of in-ground pools are as follows: 1. Concrete/Gunite Pools with a Plaster/Pebble surface. 2. Fiberglass pools 3. Vinyl pools, which are metal or plastic frame covered with a vinyl liner..

There are 3 main circumstances that can cause cracks in a swimming pool. 1. Not common but possible is the ground settling, causing stress on the pool shell making it crack. 2. Low quality of the gunite or shotcrete batch used to make the pool shell can cause cracking; or a lack of experience of the one shooting it can cause installation imperfections that cause a crack to eventually form. 3. Lastly, wrong placement of the supporting rebar in the pool shell is often a reason for the shell to start cracking. Pools are supposed to be a minimum of 6 inches thick with 3 inches between the surface and the rebar. We often see the rebar much farther in than that, which can easily cause cracking of the pool shell. These are three of the most common causes of pool shell cracking that we see. But, it often times is a combination of more than just one of these that can cause a pool shell to start cracking.

We remain transparent through a project, if a problem arises that needs to be taken care of, or we see an issue with an aspect of the job; we will always bring it to the attention of the property owner and do our best to solve that issue in a fair and correct way. Not only do we keep our quality high, but we keep our prices competitive as well. We will not cut corners in any repair or renovation we do, even with these fair prices. Most importantly, we take pride in our work, and we care about our customers. Nelson Pool Company will not settle for anything that we will not be willing to put our name on, and we want to ensure the happiness of our customers.

A lot of it is personal preference. If you don't like the way your pool looks, then it is time to do a makeover! For most people, when their pools starts having to many miss-colrored patches or stains they feel it is time to just redo their pool. The one big "need" makeover that we tell our clients iis when your surface starts to bumble and crack. This usually means water has gotten between the plaster of your pool and the shell. It can be fixed temporarily, but we personally won't do a repair on something like that because it will just continue to happen; sometimes even during the repair as we walk on the surface. Hope that helps you out a bit!

Mr. Morris. There are a few factors that come into play when it comes to fixing a pool leak. The biggest question would be, "Where is my leak?". To locate a leak we do what is called a leak detection. Our technicians come out to the property in question and use dyes and special devices with microphones to be able to pinpoint where a leak is. The lowest cost possible for that with our company is $305.00 if you have only a pool with no extra fittings, such as an extra main drain or an extra jet line. You can always call our office at (941)256-4079 for extra information on the pricing of the leak detection. As for the leak repair itself, it is hard to say exactly because prices vary depending on what found with the leak detection and the scope of work. Crack repairs, 10-22 fitting repairs, and skimmer replacements all range in the thousands range usually. Valve replacements range in the hundreds usually. I didn't cover everything but that should give you a good idea of what costs would be
