Swimming pool contractors from SwimRight Pools understand that every type of pool construction material has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. When it comes to fiberglass swimming pools, there are some unique issues that can arise, but a swimming pool contractor who is experienced will understand how to address them and protect your swimming pool.
- If your fiberglass swimming pool needs to be repaired, it may be difficult to perfectly match the color. This is especially true if you have gone beyond the “standard” blue fiberglass pool to one of the many unique colors that are available. Most fiberglass pools, you’ll be happy to know, can last up to four decades without ever needing a repair! Although if you do happen to have a structural crack – that could occur if a rock thrown from a lawnmower hits the pool, your contractor can apply a solid surface gelcoat finish to have your pool looking as good as new.
- Spider cracks in the shell. Many fiberglass pool owners are aware that spider cracks are part of owning a fiberglass pool. Your pool contractor can repair these cracks and preserve the integrity of your pool.
- The walls are bulging. This can happen if the pool has been incorrectly installed during the backfill process. It’s rare but a fiberglass pool wall can bulge if the sand behind it shifts. It’s been found that pools that are backfilled with sand are more prone to a bulging wall. Using gravel to backfill can eliminate that problem.
- Discolored pool finish. It’s a fact of life that your swimming pool will be continually exposed to the weather and the sun. This means it can eventually fade or become discolored. Your contractor can address the issue with fading by adding a gel coat to restore its color and beauty.
