Professional Pool Repair Services in Medford, NJ

Spring is the most important time of year to give your pool a thorough once-over. After a long Medford, NJ winter, the most frequently needed repairs tend to involve surface cracks in the plaster, equipment that’s worn down over the off-season, water leaks, and damaged coping or tile along the pool’s edge. Catching these issues early in the spring before the swim season kicks off, almost always means simpler, less expensive fixes. Aloha Pool & Spa Service can help you assess what your pool needs before you dive back in.

A quick way to check at home is the bucket test: fill a bucket with pool water, set it on a pool step, and compare the two water levels after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak. From there, it’s best to call Aloha Pool & Spa Service to pinpoint the exact source, since leaks can hide in plumbing lines, fittings, skimmers, or even around underwater lights.

Hairline cracks are those thin, spiderweb-like lines you sometimes see across the plaster – they’re common, usually cosmetic, and often don’t leak. Structural cracks are a different story. These run deeper through the pool shell, may widen over time, and can cause serious water loss and long-term damage if left unaddressed. A good rule of thumb: if a crack is wider than a fingernail, reappears after patching, or is accompanied by a noticeable drop in water level, call (609) 853-5374 and have one of our pool professionals take a look right away.

Small, stable surface cracks that aren’t leaking can sometimes be monitored and patched. But any crack that’s actively growing, causing water loss, showing displacement where one side sits higher than the other, or reappearing after a previous repair needs professional attention from Aloha Pool & Spa Service. Masking a structural issue with a surface sealant can actually exacerbate the issue and become more expensive over time. The expert team at Aloha Pool & Spa Service can properly diagnose what you’re dealing with and recommend the right long-term solution.

Most pool plaster has a service life of roughly 10 to 15 years, though that can vary based on water chemistry, how well the pool has been maintained, and the quality of the original installation. Signs that it may be time to resurface include rough or abrasive surfaces, widespread cracking or staining, or visible flaking and peeling. Spring is actually a great time to address plaster repairs before the heat of summer arrives. Give (609) 853-5374 a call and we’ll help you figure out whether a spot repair or a full resurfacing makes the most sense.
