Rainy Season and Leaky Pools
May 21, 2012
Many people with leaking pools, unfortunately, see the rainy season as a blessing for the break in their water bill, instead of further damage to interior finishes(as water migrates behind tiles and interior finishes, it causes them to lose their bond) and the undermining of pool decks and house foundations (water can cause a great amount of damage when not channeled away properly, leading to erosion and the mess/damage that follows)
A good way to determine if you have a drainage issue is to simply look - the next time there is a heavy rain, look out at your pool deck : Is it flooded?; Is there any water ponding on the surface?; How are the Deck-O-Drains handling the water, are they keeping up with the flow, or does it take a while for them to draw the water away? If you can't wait for the next rain to find out, you can use a garden hose to flood the deck yourself, and look for the same issues/problems.
