Another pool saved! This one comes from Table View, where a family pool had two problems that usually go together: it was losing water, and one wall had developed a visible bulge.

The problem: a leaking pool with a bulging wall

A bulge in a pool wall is never just cosmetic. It means the structure behind the lining is moving, and once that starts, cracks and leaks follow. This pool had both. The water bill was climbing and the green water told the rest of the story.

How we found it: leaking, green and with a bulge on one side.
Pool bulge repair Table View: drained pool before structural work
Drained and ready for inspection. The bulge is clearly visible along the wall.

The fix: structural bulge repair plus full fiberglass relining

Patching over a moving wall never lasts, so our team did it properly:

  • Drained the pool and stripped the failed surface
  • Repaired the bulge structurally so the wall is solid again
  • Applied a full fiberglass relining over the whole shell

The result: strong, smooth and leak free

Strong, smooth, leak free and beautiful. A fiberglass relining done properly is built to last 15 or more years, and it turns an old, tired pool into one that looks freshly installed.
