Court Condition Prior to Work

Prior to any resurfacing work, the existing court must be cleaned and repaired. If it is not cleaned, the layer of algae and debris between the previous surface and the new will cause delamination (layers separate, court must be grinded off and resurfaced). Cleaning should consist of a soft wash with industrial-grade bleach and a surface pressure wash. Similarly, if the existing cracks are not properly sealed they will trap water during the surfacing process and cause severe cracking upon freezing. Additionally, ensure that cracks are filled with a proper crack filler material. Paint CANNOT be used as crack filler as it does not contain a textured grit. Below is an example of how paint will look when used as a crack filler.
