First, check the width of the crack to determine the cause, and see if waterproofing can fix it
When applying cement-based penetrating crystalline waterproof coatings, it is essential to keep the surface of the substrate moist so that the waterproof material can penetrate into the pores of the concrete and crystallize there
First, determine the cause of the cracks. If the surface cracking is due to maintenance issues and there is no leakage, then simple treatment measures such as applying mortar or cement slurry can be used to improve the appearance of the surface, and this will not cause too many problems. However, if there is leakage, things get more complicated. There aren’t really good solutions for sealing leaks in pools, and it often takes several applications of waterproof materials before any effect is seen. For applications where high levels of leak prevention are required, it’s even more difficult
