Pool ASR Solutions

Bring your ASR-affected pool back to life by building a fully functional new pool within your existing structure. After consulting with leading engineers, we crafted a step-by-step process that gives you a new pool without a full excavation. Here is how it works:

1. 1 Thorough waterproofing. We waterproof the interior of the existing pool to prevent any interference with the new structure.
2. 2 Reinforcement and forming. We reinforce with rebar and prepare the structure, creating a solid foundation for a new gunite shell.
3. 3 Gunite shell application. Once prepped, we pour a fresh gunite shell and let it cure, creating the heart of your new pool.
4. 4 Finishing touches. We add elegant coping, tile, and smooth plaster for a polished finish, just like any high quality pool build.
5. 5 A slightly smaller, fully functional pool. The new pool is about 9 inches smaller on all sides, but offers all the function and beauty of a brand new pool.

Enjoy a revitalized pool without the need for a full excavation, giving you the luxury of a new pool within the comfort of your existing space.

With decades of experience in crack repair, we understand the unique challenges of ASR-affected pools. Traditional crack repair methods fall short, but our Miracote waterproofing system offers a reliable, budget friendly solution without a full pool replacement. Using specialized Miracote products, we seal ASR related cracks so affected pools hold water and function as intended, even months after diagnosis. It is not an absolute guarantee against future leaks, but it is an excellent, more affordable way to extend the life of your pool.

1. 1 Shell preparation. We chip out the existing plaster and prepare the pool shell.
2. 2 Miracote mesh application. A durable mesh layer is added as the foundation for the waterproofing process.
3. 3 Waterproofing layers. Multiple Miracote layers are applied to ensure a strong, water retaining barrier.
4. 4 Finishing touches. We install waterline tile and a fresh layer of plaster (or non grouted tile) for a smooth, finished look.

Choose the Miracote waterproofing solution to prolong your pool’s function without a costly replacement.

For a lasting solution, remove and replace is the most comprehensive option, addressing every part of the pool structure. It takes commitment, but offers the lowest risk of recurring ASR by removing all affected concrete. The process generally takes 3 to 8 months and delivers a thorough fix with high durability.

1. 1 Comprehensive pool removal. Every structural element, including tile, coping, plaster, and the gunite or shotcrete shell, is removed.
2. 2 Functional plumbing and equipment may be preserved, saving on costs.
3. 3 In some cases the pool deck may also need removal, depending on how it is set.
4. 4 Full rebuild. Once the area is cleared, we rebuild the pool, mirroring the original build with added precautions to prevent future ASR issues.
5. 5 Why choose it. Removing all ASR-affected concrete minimizes the risk of future problems, a valuable investment in long term pool integrity.

Choose remove and replace for a robust, long lasting solution that restores your pool and protects it from future ASR issues.

If speed and simplicity are your priority, filling in an ASR-affected pool is a practical and efficient choice. It may mean saying goodbye to your pool, but it is the quickest way to address ASR and move forward without a prolonged repair process.

1. 1 Drain the pool to prepare for fill-in.
2. 2 Wall removal and drainage. Walls are removed and large holes are drilled in the base to ensure proper drainage.
3. 3 Backfill and compaction. The pool is filled with dirt and compacted, leaving a stable surface for future use.
4. 4 Minimal maintenance moving forward. Once filled, the area is low maintenance, giving you the option to repurpose the space to suit your lifestyle.

Choose the fill-in option for a quick, straightforward resolution to ASR, letting you move on from your pool with ease.
