Why Fort Worth Pools Develop Leaks?
Fort Worth sits on some of the most problematic soil in Texas. The area is dominated by Blackland Prairie soil—a heavy, dark clay that’s notorious for causing structural issues. This expansive clay absorbs water during rainy periods and swells significantly, then shrinks and cracks when the Texas heat dries it out.
This constant expansion and contraction cycle puts enormous stress on your pool’s shell, plumbing lines, and deck. Seals fail. Fittings crack. Concrete shifts. And suddenly, you’ve got a leak.
The problem is made worse by Fort Worth’s unpredictable weather. Extended droughts followed by heavy spring rains create rapid moisture changes in the soil—exactly the conditions that damage pools fastest. Homes in established neighborhoods like Tanglewood, Rivercrest, Westover Hills, Mira Vista, and Arlington Heights often have pools that are 20-40 years old, making them especially vulnerable as original materials age.
Whether you’re in a newer master-planned community like Walsh Ranch, Heritage, or Watersbend, or an older neighborhood near TCU or the Cultural District, your pool faces the same soil challenges that affect properties throughout Tarrant County.
