I would think if the the crack is present only in the plaster, and not the tile, it may be surface. If, for instance my pool, has a cracked tile and the crack is extended down the side of the plaster, it is structural.
I general, the answer is yes. It the crack comes from the pool moving, and the gunite has cracked, then the gunite has to be repaired before the plaster. Sometimes opening up the gunite crack and refilling with concrete will answer the problem. If movement of the soil is the problem then that has to be fixed first.The soil getting excessivly wet and dry can mean that the pool will move, if it is only part of the pool then there will be a structuaral crack. Only opening up the crack will tell you whether it is a plaster crack or a gunite crack. A replaster is from about $2000 up and structuaral repairs from about $1000
the general idea at the out set is that they don't.
By Gunite I assume that you were told you have a gunite pool, The gunite part is the foundation of the pool and does not require watering. The surface which is plaster over the top of the gunite needs water. If you just had your pool replastered in the last couple of days it is critical to fill it with water so the plaster can dry. If your plaster is older and been under water before a few days is not going to hurt. Although you do want to get it full of water as soon as possible. Kenny Kummer Brody Chemical
A non-structural crack is a crack in a building or structure that does not affect the integrity or strength of the building. These cracks are typically superficial and do not indicate any significant structural issues. They are often caused by factors such as shrinkage, temperature changes, or settling.
The crack between the ceiling and wall in your room could be caused by structural movement, settling of the building, or changes in temperature and humidity. It is important to have a professional inspect the crack to determine the exact cause and necessary repairs.
Hmmmm, just what is "an archer" ???? You mean a person with a bow and arrow?
A deep crack in the earth's surface is called a fault.
Our experience shows that gunite or fiberglass are good. Gunite would probably last the longest. CONCRETE tends to crack over years with normal ground shifts. Had two pools with concrete, so many cracks after 10 years, buried the thing, the repair costs were astronomical.
Plaster can crack due to a variety of reasons, including structural movement, improper application, changes in temperature or humidity, or a lack of flexibility in the material. Cracking can also occur if the underlying surface is not stable or if the plaster layer is too thick.
To effectively seal cracks in concrete and prevent further damage, use a concrete crack sealant or filler that is specifically designed for this purpose. Clean the crack thoroughly, apply the sealant according to the manufacturer's instructions, and allow it to cure properly. Regular maintenance and inspection of the concrete surface can help identify and address cracks early to maintain its structural integrity.
It is not recommended to hide a windshield crack as it can compromise the safety of the vehicle. It is best to have the crack repaired by a professional to ensure the structural integrity of the windshield.
Ceilings can crack due to various reasons such as structural issues, settling of the house, moisture problems, or temperature changes. It is important to identify the underlying cause of the cracking to determine the appropriate solution.
