Was there not a rebar cage tied during construction? Not clear on: Where the failure was. Was it 12 on 12? Surcharge in the deep end? shotcrete, gunite, hand pack? How was the crack discovered? The point is: if there is a structural failure and there is 12 on 12 with or without surcharge, then there's a bigger problem that staples won't fix.

I'm not familiar with the tork lock product Similarly I personally have never been called back on any staple repair work that we have done however having a crack reopen or become an intermittent problem is not all that unusual Although I can certainly understand you would like to avoid having to open that back up again the correct and most proficient way to address your issue again is to open it up and rework it Sort of like when the engine goes on a car we don't just change the piston that went bad it's time to rebuild the entire engine It should also be said that there are a number of variables at play here such as geological shifting which is completely unpredictable and can bring tremendous forces with it For these reasons it's common to offer no warranty when performing crack repairs out in the field

Great job guys! I wish you were located in Florida. I've had problems with my pool for years and haven't been able to find anyone to properly repair it. Very frustrating. Can you give an approximate cost for this type repair?
@UltimatePoolGuy5 жыл бұрын
Hello, sorry to hear that...structural cracks vary greatly in size and severity...the cost for repair usually depends on these factors...most repairs typically fall between $1250 on the low and around 3k for more serious situations... you should be able to find a qualified contractor for this work by doing general searches on google, yelp etc...if you have had ongoing problems I would suggest talking to 3 or more contractors to make sure that everybody is on the same page and that your issues are being properly diagnosed and treated lastly do make sure that if you have cracks or structural issues that you make sure that the repairs go down similar to what you saw in our video and to refrain from things like epoxy injections or other repairs that will only lead to more issues in the future feel free to reach out with any further questions and thank you for taking the time to check out our video best regards

Just out of curiosity, have you ever used a CrackLock? I think that you would find it much stronger and without the extra added step of having to treat the rebar against rust and damage from corrosion, as the carbon is never going to do either.

This is not true! Torque Locks are not as reliable as the same thing that the pool structure was built upon! However depending on where you are in the country anything metal needs to be bonded! Also I didn't see an acid wash of the substrate before the new cement went on. New concrete will not bond to old concrete properly unless it is acid washed first. Full 31% proof muriatic acid is a must before any new finish or repair goes in!
@johnnierice681710 ай бұрын
Torque Locks are not what I was talking about. I don't like the application of the Torque Locks for a number of reasons that I can go over in another forum. However, what I was talking about is an epoxy based bond to the concrete and then an installation of the Concrete CrackLock from Rhino Carbon Fiber. As for acid washing the concrete prior to bonding new concrete, that is not advisable in any repair format I've ever dealt with. The acid, when sprayed onto the repair area it can accidentally hit and start corrosion of the rebar used in the structural elements of the pool. Even if you are lucky enough to be able to neutralize the acids after you have cleaned, and that's incredibly unlikely, any steel/iron/metal will be compromised. In addition, if the pool was built using epoxy coated rebar, which was very possible depending on it's age, you will have introduced a potential "slip" issue by introducing acids against/thru/into the epoxy coating on the rebar. That "slip" will potentially destabilize the rebar throughout the entire pool. The acid will run between the rebar metal and the epoxy coating. When that happens it will allow the rebar to move within the epoxy coating and create regions of instability. I'm currently a sitting member on the ACI committee that talks about different types of adhesives and coatings on concrete, and we have specific protocols against this.@@duanepools2096

Quite a good and instructive presentation, i never thought of making staples with rebar, though i did notice that the rebar can still bend and stretch slightly due to the shape, one way of fixing that would be to have a couple of 2-3 inch diagonal pieces welded onto the ends so as to make them rigid (such as the triangular shape we use to reinforce heavy shelves and cantilevers). --- btw, were you swearing to impress the woman filming? Dunno y i found it funny and felt obliged to like and comment, quality of work is good though.
@UltimatePoolGuy5 жыл бұрын
Hey brother thanks for the great comment!...glad to hear that the video connected with you and had something to offer... and yes everything I do is to impress woman ;)… the rebar staples are anchored with epoxy and are also reinforced by the cementitious mixture put on top of it...they both strengthen each other best regards!

@@UltimatePoolGuy i just feel a non-rusting close to surface stainless steel re-bar may be helpful, however the stainless steel rebar is harder to bend and more expensive. It would be interesting to consider, as the paint introduces a failure point/layer and extra step. Stainless in theory you would not have to paint. But your successful with your existing practice, so I guess why change it.
