The water line tile:
In the spa has some settling cracks / blemishes seen on the east side of the spa x 2.
The spa spillover has some gaps beginning to develop closest to the spa.
Coping:
On the south side of the pool I am seeing some heavy active ? moisture below the skimmer / upper auto fill area.
The south west outside wall has a small active moisture seen both at the top stones and lower at the base where moss is growing out of the area.
On the south west portion of the spillover there is a boulder placed on top of tile. There is active water loss through this area, which may be non consequential but still should be shored up for safety to prevent this boulder from moving / becoming detached.
The south west out cropping of rock around the lower basin auto fill sensor has some movement mortar gaps that may require some attention for safety.
The center stone on the spillway is also showing signs of potential issue.
The north stone and area are showing what I feel is the most likely current leak present (active water loss / moisture seen).
On the lower basin spillover wall I do see settling cracks mostly seen on north side of it but also some mortar wear throughout.
The coping at the water line edge is all showing some signs of age. Some cracks / mortar gaps seen approx every 2-10 feet.
Main Waterfall:
There are signs of active leaks and this waterfall basin will need attention to be water tight.
Overall it’s difficult to give a rough estimate cost to re seal / re mortar the gaps existing until all items are opened up and confirm the extent of wear.
A general estimate construction cost to re mortar / re waterproof mentioned affected areas may run 5-15k+.
With active water loss likely seen now this is a need recommend now vs later.
There is calcium build up mostly seen on water fall face and spillover tiles. This likely can be cleaned for approx $550+
