Pool Crack Repair in McKinney, Dallas, and Beyond

Pool Crack Repair in McKinney, Dallas, and Beyond

A small hairline crack in your pool is easy to miss, and even easier to ignore. That’s exactly how it can turn into a bigger problem.

What looks like a thin line in the plaster today can widen, spread, and turn into a leak that costs far more to fix than the crack ever would have.

Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair handles pool cracks across DFW, from McKinney and Dallas all the way to Fort Worth. Our family-owned team tracks down what caused the crack first, so the repair actually holds.

Structural Cracks vs. Hairline Cracks

Not every pool crack means the same thing, and the difference decides how it gets fixed.

Hairline Cracks

  • Usually sit in the plaster surface.
  • Come from plaster shrinkage as the pool ages, or from gunite curing unevenly during construction
  • Mostly cosmetic, but can still let water reach the shell

Structural Cracks

  • Usually sit in the plaster surface.
  • Come from plaster shrinkage as the pool ages, or from gunite curing unevenly during construction
  • Mostly cosmetic, but can still let water reach the shell
  • A quick way to tell: if the crack is thin, shallow, and stays put, it’s likely cosmetic. If it’s widening, leaking, or running through the shell, it’s structural and needs to be addressed before it spreads. When you’re not sure, get it looked at.

How We Repair Pool Cracks

1. Inspect and diagnose.

We look at the crack to determine whether it’s a surface hairline or a structural crack running through the shell, and whether it’s tied to a leak.

2. Repair the crack.

For structural cracks, we often use crack injection to seal the gunite from the inside so it holds and stops leaking. Surface cracks may call for patching to close them up.

3. Restore the finish.

Once the crack is sealed, we resurface as needed so the repair blends back into the pool instead of leaving a patch behind.

4. Handle any leak.

If the crack caused a leak, we find and fix that in-house too, which is one of the advantages of working with a team that does detection and repair under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cracks in Pools

Is a pool crack a big deal?

It can be. A hairline crack may be cosmetic, but a structural crack in the shell keeps spreading and usually leads to a leak. The only way to know for sure is to have it assessed.

Is a small crack in the pool okay?

A small surface crack isn’t an emergency, but it isn’t nothing either. Water can still seep in and make it worse over time, so it’s worth getting it looked at before it grows.

Do fiberglass pools crack?

Fiberglass pools form spider cracks and gel coat crazing from flexing, bad installation, or ground movement. Most are surface-level, but deeper cracks can reach the structural layer and leak.

When should I get a pool crack fixed?

Sooner is cheaper. If a crack is widening, leaking, or running through the shell, don’t wait. Catching it early usually means a smaller, less expensive repair.
