Swimming Pool Crack Repair
Cause of Damages
Pool cracks caused by the settlement of back fill, poor soil condition in general and stressed concrete can lead to leaks, worsening structural damages and water related damages to nearby structures.
Swimming Pool Crack Repair Solution
Contrary to the misconception by some pool owners that crack injection just provides a temporary patch-up, professional water stop leak sealing injection repair actually provides a lasting fix.
This method makes use of a high-density polymer foam, which holds the NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 Certification, validating its safety for interaction with drinking water. During the injection phase, the foam product effectively penetrates deep into the structure while sealing every crevice and crack in the process.
As the polyurethane foam encounters moisture, it expands, infiltrating each crack and crevice during the pressure injection process. This ensures that it effectively plugs the full thickness of a concrete pool wall, making for a comprehensive repair.
Once it cures, this inert, waterproof resin maintains its volume and remains flexible, unaffected by standard ground movements and temperature fluctuations. Therefore, the possibility of shrinkage, a common issue with other solutions, is not a concern. This method of repair is built to last, providing you with a durable and reliable fix for your concrete structures. This ensures that they can satisfy both functional requirements and aesthetic preferences.
SealBoss Polyurethane Injection Foam Pool Crack Repair Products and Kits permanently repair leaking cracks and joints in concrete, gunite, shotcrete and pebble tech finished swimming pools and spas.
Negative Side Crack Injection is Conveniently Performed from the Inside of the Structure
For this type of Leak Sealing Repair, SealBoss Pool Crack Repair Kits provide an effective, easy to use water stop / leak sealing crack repair solution by creating an airtight and watertight hydrophobic seal that repels water once cured. Polyurethane injection foam systems are designed to work in wet environments.
The pool leak sealing repair kit includes a SealBoss P2002 high-pressure injection pump, SealBoss 1510 hydrophobic resin with 15x catalyst and SealBoss mechanical Injection Packers which when used together allows the user to displace the hydrostatic pressure and fill the crack with a foam that reacts from the moisture present.

Structural Repairs and Inspections
While in most cases PU injection is the repair of choice to permanently seal water bearing cracks in concrete structures, there is sometimes the need for a structural repair.
For structural repairs, please refer to the SealBoss Epoxy Injection System and Epoxy Repair Kits. You may also want to read our Epoxy versus Polyurethane article for in-detail information.
Please be advised that any underlying and all ongoing causes of structural damages, formation of cracks and settling — including, but not limited to, back fill settlement and poor soil density — should be investigated by a specialist and corrected, if deemed necessary.
