Design and Build Custom Inground Gunite Swimming Pools and Spas
We'll start by working with you to design your new pool and backyard environment. Next, we navigate through the township permitting process.
The construction schedule starts with the excavation of the pool area, then the steel rebar reinforcing cage is installed. The plumbing is installed for the skimmers, returns, jets, lights, and main drains. There are inspections at this point to confirm all work is performed to industry standards and national codes.
The gunite shell installation is the "wow" moment when the pool structure takes shape. Gunite is a special mixture of cement, sand, and water that is applied through a pressure hose. It is suitable for swimming pool construction due to its strength and workability allowing flexibility in design along with a lasting durable structure. The gunite mix has a lower ratio of water than concrete, creating a higher tensile strength.
The piping and equipment set is then completed. All piping and equipment are pressurized to ensure there are no leaks. A tile border is then laid at the pool perimeter. This frost-proof tile is offered in a wide range of styles and colors.
The coping and deck are next. Brick, travertine, or cantilever concrete can complete the water's edge. A concrete deck can be stamped with color or broom finished. Travertine or brick pavers can also complete the decking.
C&V Wetworks performs all the electrical work from connecting into the existing house panel to a completed power center at the pool equipment. All electrical work is performed to industry standards and NEC codes.
The final construction step is the interior finish. This process waterproofs the gunite shell and provides the visually appealing color and texture to the pool shell surface. Wet Edge and Krystal-Krete are just 2 of the materials available.
Finally, it's time to fill the pool. Tanker trucks will be brought in to fill the pool immediately and begin the curing process. After the pool is full, we will start the equipment and begin balancing the water chemistry. C&V Wetworks will walk you through "Pool School" to indoctrinate you about your new pool. Then it's time to "jump in" and enjoy your new backyard.
