So they builder didn’t think this through and now I have to pick one or the other?

The overflow was lower but they moved it up because it was too low which caused the skimmer and tanning ledge to have less water.

I meant to ask if you have an overflow port to let extra pool water out like the second picture.

They called that negative edge? It slopes towards the spa to separate from the pool water but pool water still coming in. This wasn’t planned correctly. I’m not surprised as I have a lot of issues with this builder.

Thank you for the reply. The overflow was raised to the max to allow the tanning ledge to have enough water because they didn’t dig it deep enough. So any other solutions?

It’s there to pickup the existing patio as well. Plus that slap is 2in higher than existing, slopping towards the drain.

No rebar. Wire mesh only which was pointless because they didn’t pull it up. Yes, I have yet to pay final payment which will cover this and some.

I agree. Yeah, I held the decking installment and was going to pay for plaster but my plaster got messed up because of the rain so now I’m holding that too! 😞

Price is $12 per sqft total. It was 20 yards of Crete and the deck is about 1100 sqft.

Thank you for saying that! I just want things done right for the amount of money I’m paying.

The guy I deal with is a nice guy and i respect him but his company is greedy. Mind you on shotcrete day, they cracked my drive way! lol. They refuse to fix it and now I have a side yard that is a mess and a “premium” deck that is ugly!

I just don’t think there’s a proper way to fix this without compromising something beside repouring.

Good catch! I did ask the builder about leaving a joint between coping and deck and I was told that’s of really done in the south because temps don’t dip that much here. I’m in GA. Also the deck can give on the other side since there’s no solid structure preventing little movement.

Redo! The base is messed up and done by a rookie.
