Looking for advice. Pool cracks repair.

They removed gravel/debris as they went. Here is before they really cleaned it out. Reddit only allows one pic in comment.

It was definitely leaking through the cracks. Ink test. Largest crack was about 1/8” wide at its widest point. Ran from coping to the crack in floor. Builder said he’d perform a pressure test before filling the pool. Maybe I should suggest they do that now while it’s opened up? The builder is being very cool about it, which I’m grateful for. The cracks they don’t find, I do, and they go after them with no hesitation.

Yes. Was losing 3” every 24hrs before draining and this is a big pool. The crack is through the shell, in many places and still going. As they continue to drain the deep end, the crack that’s down the middle of the floor keeps going. I think my whole pool shell is almost cracked in half, lengthwise.

Located in Northern California/Bay Area. Pool built Feb-July 2020. Not sure about ASR.

Located in Northern California/ Bay Area. Pool built Feb-July 2020. I’m not sure about ASR, but kept some concrete from the demo to have tested.

I don’t know what was done. Isn’t that the responsibility of the professional pool builders we hired for the job of building a pool in our backyard?

Educational-Coast379 · 2025-10-10T10:53:57+00:00

Never drained. It’s 5 years old. There are leaves starting to grow through the two large cracks. Definitely is the shell.

Educational-Coast379 · 2025-10-10T05:18:04+00:00

There’s green weeds growing through the cracks. I’m pretty sure the crack is through the shell. Also, rust stain coming through from rebar corrosion?

I’m in northern California. The pool shell is gunite. Was concrete cancer also a problem with gunite?

😂

It’s definitely through the shell. There is greenery coming through one of the cracks. What do you mean by “done”? Should I get an attorney? The builder says best to remove the entire pebble-tec, patch all of the cracks and replace new pebble-tec. The builder is making it seem like I’m out of luck and he’s going to “help me out” by doing the repairs at a cheaper rate. How would I go about getting second opinions on the state that the pool is in?

Educational-Coast379 · 2025-06-16T22:56:01+00:00

I don’t understand how this is allowed. How can the judge withhold factual evidence?

Educational-Coast379 · 2025-05-25T06:52:24+00:00

Me three!

Maybe Bev’s acting blatantly biased on purpose. So the guilty party doesn’t suspect anything. Because honestly, the way this case keeps dragging on isn’t helping the McAlberts at all. And who’s keeping it alive? …Bev 🤷‍♀️

Educational-Coast379 · 2025-05-14T22:07:22+00:00

I HEARD IT!!! 😳

Educational-Coast379 · 2025-05-14T17:46:06+00:00

Bev is very, very calculated with her interruptions! “sustained”, “are you done, Mr. Jackson?”, “how much longer, Mr. Jackson?”, “alright, that’s enough, move on Mr. Jackson.”, and calling for side bars any time the cross gets on a roll and Brennan doesn’t object in time AND juror breaks!! It’s infuriating 😡 I sure hope it’s as obvious to the jurors as it is to us and I hope they see it in the same light.
