Smart protection for your pool
In North Texas, the climate can be extreme: hot summers, occasional frosts, and constant sun exposure. All of this directly affects the structure of swimming pools, especially at the expansion joints between the concrete deck and the water basin. At MTR Contractors, we use Deck-O-Seal, an industry-leading elastomeric sealant designed to protect pools from leaks, chemicals, and wear, ensuring beauty and durability for many years.
Key features:
-
Cures into a flexible, tear-resistant rubber, ideal for joints subjected to movement
-
High resilience, with excellent recovery after compression or stretch
-
Resistant to most chemicals, adverse weather, aging, and shrinkage
-
Retains flexibility under UV exposure and high temperatures without cracking
-
Available in colors such as Gray, Tan, and White, with custom options
Primary uses of Deck-O-Seal in pools
1. Expansion joint sealing:
-
Applied at the joints between the pool basin and the concrete deck to absorb movement and prevent leaks
-

2. Water and chemical protection:

"We are incredibly happy with the work MTR Contracting did turning our front bedroom into an office space for my husband and installing an upgraded sink in our kitchen. We were incredibly nervous having our granite countertops cut for the sink but the result was impeccable! You cannot even tell there used to be a closet in the now office. It looks as though the room never had one in the first place. The whole process was easy from start to finish! Highly recommended for any contractor work!"
