4-ft Sheer Descent Waterfall Replacement
This 4-ft sheer descent waterfall — nestled into the top of the beam and partially into the planter bed — had grown brittle over time, eventually developing leaks along its manufacturing mold seams.
The fixture was totally entombed in the concrete coping and needed to be replaced. We were able to cut and chip out the coping, remove the broken fixture, and plumb in and set a new one before reforming and pouring a new coping and applying a knockdown textured finish coat that can be painted to match after a full 28-day cure.

More about waterfalls
Sheer descents and other waterfall fixtures are a beautiful addition to any pool — but when one develops a leak, it can quietly drain the pool day after day. We deploy proprietary testing techniques to pinpoint the failing fixture, then offer a full spectrum of repairs to get the leak resolved for good.
