Why Orlando Pool Tile Falls Off

Freeze-thaw isn't the culprit in Orlando. Common causes include calcium deposits from hard municipal water, weak original bond coat, and minor shell movement over the region's limestone base.

Chemistry matters — high calcium hardness common in Central Florida tap water can lead to scale that dislodges tile.

A proper repair addresses shell integrity and uses appropriate thin-set and waterproofing. A qualified provider should scope the work.
