What Is Deck O Seal?
Deck O Seal has been developed specifically for wet, water-soaked environments. The compound is similar to plaster but specifically intended for the demands of a swimming pool. This sealant is used by our certified, experienced specialists to spot- seal all of the cracks in your pool deck and in the foundation of the pool itself. Using Deck O Seal can actually make it easier to fix your pool, as we can simply pour the solution into the crack without having to drain the pool to fix and seal the crack or damage.
Deck O Seal is an extremely resilient sealant that has excellent recovery characteristics. It reduces uncontrolled cracking as it allows for the expansion and contraction of your pool and pool deck during temperature changes. It’s flexible, and won’t become brittle over time or crack due to ultraviolet exposure.
Deck O Seal also resists abrasion, moisture, and weathering, and even elevated temperatures don’t cause discoloration of the material. It’s also resistant to the effects of pool cleaning chemicals and provides a uniform, permanent watertight seal. The sealant comes in a self-contained cartridge, making it easy to apply it where our techs need to, with minimal mess.
How We Repair Using Deck O Seal
Depending on the extent of the cracks and damages, it can take as little as an hour or several hours to install Deck O Seal into your pool. However, with minimal curing time, your pool can be used by the next day!
At our San Diego County pool company, we prefer to use Deck O Seal since using it means that the pool doesn’t have to be drained and allowed to dry before completing the repair. While the more traditional process of pool deck crack repair isn’t difficult, it is a longer one, and many pool owners prefer to not have so much “downtime.” We aim to ensure that you can enjoy your pool year-round, relaxing in the warm California sun. The needs of homeowners just like you are a priority.
Each pool repair is different, but we prefer to take the time to conduct a careful inspection before we dive into the Deck O Seal process. Trained technicians evaluate your needs and determine what repairs are necessary. We can also inspect your pool to see where preventative maintenance can keep your copping and pool deck from cracking.
Deck O Seal also protects the expansion joints around your pool and ensures that even when the temperature outside fluctuates, the sealant will expand and contract, which reduces the need for more extensive repairs. Allowing water into the expansion joint area leads to soil movement, which can cause the pool deck and even the pool itself to shift. This can be dangerous and might even impact the integrity of your home’s foundation. While freezing temperatures are rare, it can happen, and this, too, can affect the construction of your pool.
Every few years, mastic like Deck O Seal may need to be replaced. With regular preventative maintenance and inspections from the professionals, we can examine the condition of the sealant and replace it before leaks or other cracks and damage occur.
Using Deck O Seal For Coping
The coping of your pool is similar to the coping of any other building or deck. It provides shelter and security for the pool, making an additional ridge that helps to keep it clean and gives pool users and swimmers an additional element of stabilization.
Pool coping also gives your pool a form of sealing to make an effective barrier from debris or other unwanted particles that may get in. No matter which material you choose, we can give your pool the coping it needs to add more friction and prevent slips and falls, giving you greater peace of mind while swimming.
Trust The Professionals For Sealing Your Pool
While some people may think that using Deck O Seal is a simple DIY process, having it professionally applied by pool services specialists ensures that the right amount is used and that there aren’t any unsightly dips or bumps in the pool’s coping or the bottom of the pool.
Good technicians have been trained to know how to properly apply sealant, and have extensive knowledge using it on a variety of different surfaces. Plus, our techs can show you how to care for your pool and pool deck in between preventative maintenance appointments.
