Unfortunately, a pool’s surface won’t last forever and Resurfacing in Long Island NY must be performed. Plaster pools should have an acid wash performed on them when they’ve become dark or dingy. The walls can become discolored due to poor winterization or maintenance. The acid wash will help a pool to look like new again. During this type of process, a trained technician will often find small hairline cracks in the pool that must be repaired as quickly as possible. They will turn into larger cracks and quickly destroy a water oasis.
