The following information is an overview of phases of a complete tennis court resurfacing or surfacing project. Inspection  Draw a diagram of your court or request one from us. Carefully walk the court when it is dry, sketching in the areas that will need to be patched or otherwise addressed before applying any coatings. Some of the imperfections you will be looking for are Humps from root intrusion or other organic material. Loose or delaminating areas in older coatings. Cracks, dings and missing pieces of the court. Dirt and mildew. Areas that are rougher than most of the court surface. The next inspection step is to flood the court with a garden hose or wait for the next good rain. One hour after flooding you should walk the court with a big yellow carpenters crayon in one hand and a nickel in the other. One hour is enough time for the negligible surface water to dry, leaving only the deeper standing water that could eventually degrade your new color coatings. You will know if an area holding water is a potential problem by dropping the nickel into the middle of the puddle. If the standing water covers the top of the nickel it is a bona fide Birdbath another strange term the tennis court industry has adopted. This simply means water will stand in this area long enough to allow mildew algae to grow, which will eventually eat away the coatings prematurely. This standing water also increases the time before play can resume or causes extra work to remove it to speed drying. Concrete Tennis Court Crack Repair' title='Concrete Tennis Court Crack Repair' />When you find a birdbath puddle that covers the nickel, take the yellow crayon and mark around its outer edge. After all the birdbaths are all marked, sketch them on your diagram, making note of the approximate dimensions and depth of each. We use a nickel because it is a little less than 18 thick. The U. S. T. A. United States Tennis Association has deemed any water, 18 or deeper, standing in an area, one hour after flooding, to be a flaw needing repair for the reasons stated in the previous paragraph. You now have the information necessary to accurately estimate the labor and materials required to prepare the court for surface coatings. You can call or email this information to us for a quote or you can use one of our interactive estimates to estimate the materials required.

A tennis court surface is no different. While a pressure washer minimum 1. PSI rating is the fastest most efficient method of cleaning, a garden hose, a couple of common household cleaning agents, and a stiff bristle broom will suffice.

The method used is largely determined by the type of crack you are patching, the desired longevity of the repair and your budget. One word of caution concerning your expectations about crack repair. While the crack repair products we sell are among the finest in the industry, they will not prevent cracks from re occurring. Crack repair done in moderate, tropical climates will have the best chance of long term success. Excessive moisture, expansive soils, and freezing temperatures will guarantee the return of the cracks repaired. In most cases the cracks will begin to re open slowly and will progress until they are as large as they were before you patched them within 3 to 5 years. The only long term solutions are to install a membrane system such as Crack. Span over the cracks or to correct the cause of the cracking which is usually found well beneath the surface.
