coping is cracking

9 years ago

Hi,

I'm attaching a photo of the coping around my pool (very near the skimmer) that has been cracking for the last 4-5 yrs. It's worse now.
A few days after the photo I'm attaching, the coping broke off the tips of the cracked tile (if that made any sense).
What should/can I do? Is it just a matter of new coping/tile?

Thanks in advance.

jvmagic,
That's an unusual crack. It should be repairable by just cutting and replacing the brick coping.
Make sure to replace the mastic behind the brick and do not use grout/mortar.
