Swimming Pool Waterproofing and Crack Repair in Ghana — Concrete Pools, Water Features, Spas

SWIMMING POOL SPECIALIST

Swimming pool waterproofing is specialist work. Get it wrong and you leak thousands of litres per week, damage surrounding structures, and destroy tile finishes.

A concrete swimming pool is essentially a giant water tank designed to look decorative. The waterproofing system underneath the tiles has to hold back 20–100 tonnes of water 24 hours a day, resist chlorine chemistry, tolerate thermal cycling, and stay bonded for decades. Any failure results in water tracking through the shell into surrounding structure — damaging pool decks, adjacent walls, and the pool itself.

Types of Pool Waterproofing We Install

New-Build Pool

Applied to the concrete shell before tile installation. Cementitious crystalline waterproofing on the shell, followed by two-coat polyurethane liquid membrane, then tile adhesive and tiling. Life of the pool.

Pool Renovation / Re-lining

For existing pools losing water. Tiles and failed waterproofing removed. New system installed. Re-tiled. 20–25 year design life.

Localised Crack Repair

For pools with specific cracks. Chase and treat, fleece-reinforce, re-tile the affected area.

Ornamental Water Features and Spas

Fountains, koi ponds, hot tubs. Same technology, sized to fit smaller assemblies.

  • Dark stains on the pool deck or surrounding walls
  • Wet ground in the pool room / plant room
  • Cracked or loose tiles on the pool shell
