Swimming Pool Rebar Repair:
Rebar
Bleeds / Rebar Stains
A rebar stain in a swimming pool or spa is a serious issue.
Rusting rebar will continue to corrode within the pool structure until all corrosion is removed. Although the bleed through stain may be small in size, the corrosion below the plaster is always larger in scale (see photos for examples).
Left untreated, rusted rebar will eventually rust the entire pool.
We repair rebar stains underwater (without draining the pool, using scuba
gear and special tools) and also by draining the pool.

Rebar stains occur in swimming pools and spas when the rebar is not encapsulated with proper gunite or Shotcrete. More to come...
