Swimming Pool Coating & Waterproofing Systems
Seamless coating systems designed to waterproof, protect, and restore concrete swimming pools for long-term performance.
A Waterproofing System - Not Just a Finish
Swimming pool coatings must perform in one of the most demanding environments:
- Constant water exposure
- Chemical exposure (chlorine, treatment systems)
- Hydrostatic pressure
- Thermal movement and cracking
- UV exposure (for outdoor pools)
A proper system protects the concrete structure while maintaining a durable, watertight finish.
Failures Start With Improper Preparation and Detailing
Common issues we address:
- Cracks in the pool shell
- Failed or delaminating coatings
- Improper surface preparation
- Osmotic blistering or bubbling
- Leaks at penetrations and fittings
- Chemical degradation of coating systems
The Layers Behind a Durable Pool Finish
- Surface preparation (grinding, cleaning, removal of old coatings)
- Crack repair and substrate stabilization
- Primer for adhesion
- Waterproof coating system (epoxy, polyurethane, or specialty systems)
- Reinforcement at cracks and transitions
- Protective and finish coats
Swimming Pool Coating Systems We Install
Epoxy Pool Coatings
