What is Alkali-silica reaction (ASR)?
Alkali-silica reaction (ASR), often called "concrete cancer," is a serious issue affecting many pools in Austin, Texas. This chemical reaction occurs when the alkaline cement paste in concrete reacts with silica in the aggregates, forming a gel that expands in the presence of moisture. This expansion can cause cracking, spalling, and other forms of concrete deterioration.
Signs of ASR in Your Austin Pool:
  • Map-like cracking patterns on concrete surfaces
  • Discoloration or staining of the pool surface
  • Spalling or flaking of concrete
  • Gel-like exudations from cracks
  • Misalignment of pool components
