Swimming Pool Waterproofing

What is Swimming Pool Waterproofing?

Swimming Pool Waterproofing is the process of applying specialized coatings, membranes, and sealants to the pool’s structural shell to make it watertight and crack-resistant.

Swimming pools are constantly exposed to hydrostatic pressure from stored water and the surrounding soil. Without proper waterproofing, water can seep through micro-cracks, leading to:

• Continuous water loss

• Structural damage

• Damage to surrounding foundations

• Algae growth and staining

• Increased chemical consumption

• Safety hazards due to weakened surfaces

Unlike other waterproofing, pool waterproofing must handle immense hydrostatic pressure, harsh pool chemicals (like chlorine), UV exposure, and temperature changes. That’s why it requires the right system, expert application, and regular checks.

Why Do You Need Swimming Pool Waterproofing?

Whether you’re building a new pool or maintaining an existing one, waterproofing is non-negotiable. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Prevents Water Leakage

A single small leak can lead to massive water loss over time. Proper waterproofing seals all micro-pores and joints.

2️⃣ Protects the Structure

Continuous leaks can corrode the concrete, cause steel reinforcements to rust, and weaken the pool shell, risking cracks and collapse.

3️⃣ Saves Costs

Water leakage means frequent top-ups, wasted money on chemicals, and expensive structural repairs.

4️⃣ Enhances Hygiene

Water seepage can cause algae growth behind tiles and under floors, creating health and safety risks.

5️⃣ Increases Life Span

Quality waterproofing keeps your pool structurally sound and beautiful for decades.

Common Causes of Swimming Pool Leaks

Knowing why pools leak helps you understand why professional waterproofing matters. Common causes include:

✅ Poor construction practices
✅ Substandard or absent waterproofing
✅ Structural movement and cracks
✅ Weak or leaking joints
✅ Damaged tile grouting
✅ Faulty plumbing lines
✅ Inadequate expansion joints

Regular maintenance is important, but starting with robust waterproofing saves you years of headaches.

Our Swimming Pool Waterproofing Process

At Shree Varad Services, we use a systematic approach for new construction and repair waterproofing.

🔍 1. Site Inspection

We inspect the pool shell for cracks, voids, honeycombs, and previous repairs. We check for hidden leaks and test water tightness.

🧹 2. Surface Preparation

We clean the entire surface — removing dust, algae, old coatings, or loose plaster. Any structural cracks are repaired using high-strength repair mortars.

🔧 3. Joint Treatment

We treat all expansion joints, pipe inlets/outlets, and corners with flexible sealants or joint tapes to prevent leak points.

🧪 4. Waterproof Coating Application

Depending on the pool type, we apply a cementitious, acrylic, or epoxy-based waterproofing system. Multiple coats are applied for durability and chemical resistance.

🧱 5. Tiling (If Needed)

After waterproofing, we provide proper bedding and grouting with chemical-resistant, water-repellent tile adhesives.

✅ 6. Final Testing

We conduct a pond test — filling the pool to capacity and monitoring for any signs of leakage before handing over.
