Cracks in a pool shell can range from cosmetic surface crazing to structural fractures that allow significant water loss. Distinguishing between the two requires more than a visual scan — it requires dye testing, pressure observation, and a trained eye for the signs of active seepage. Pipe Leak Detection Pros conducts comprehensive pool shell crack assessments for gunite, plaster, and fiberglass pools throughout Sherman Oaks and the San Fernando Valley.
Our technicians walk the full interior perimeter of the pool, examining the floor, walls, corners, and step structures for visible cracking patterns. Each suspect crack is then dye-tested with the pump off to observe whether water is actively flowing through the fracture. We also check the bond beam — the structural edge where the pool shell meets the coping — as this is a common site for separation caused by soil movement or seismic activity common to the Los Angeles area.
We document every crack with photographs, dye-test results, and measurements, and provide a written report categorizing each finding as active (leaking) or passive (cosmetic). This report is an essential planning tool for any pool replastering, resurfacing, or structural repair project, ensuring that active leaks are addressed before new finish materials are applied.
