Case Study 4

Concrete Pond Repaired

This four hundred gallon pond in Leicester was built using concrete in 1975. The owner was experiencing a significant leak problem which would not have been cured by simple patching up with mortar.

Having inspected the severity of the cracks, these were sealed with a primary layer of 450 gram glass. The entire pool was then sealed using two 300gram layers building up a 600g/metre thickness. There was no need to remove the flagstones as the fibreglass was joined to these on the underside to ensure a totally waterproof seal. This has given the pond a life expectancy of another thirty years.
