    Bond beam issues, any hacks?

    @ajw22 do you happen to have a picture of what a slip joint should look like? Does the plastic cover the entire width of the beam, This just looks like dense plastic moulding that has been glued on. Here’s a couple more pictures. It looks like you have cantilevered coping where there should...

    Bond beam issues, any hacks?

    I’m back. I am considering my options on how to fix my cracked bond beam. I’m kinda in a desperate situation since I cannot find anyone local willing to help me. There’s only a population of 220k and as my neighbor said, pools are kinda new thing in my town. Looking for some creative problem...

    Spa overflowing suddenly

    It's concrete coping, so I don't think it's supposed to be touching to bond beam. It has that plastic moulding everywhere but not on corners so it doesn't look like it was designed to be watertight.

    Spa overflowing suddenly

    Pool guy replaced the sand in my filter over the weekend and put my pool back in auto. Now the spa level seems an inch or two higher than usual, the waterfall feature is way thicker and the water is spilling out of the spa under the coping and on to the pool deck. We're expecting a short freeze...

    Low water bill and broken bond beam?

    Yeah... I already reached out to a guy who solved a really complicated heating problem on my pool and all he wants to do is remodel it. I have pictures of the builder putting the pool in March 2019 from Google Streets. Like 3-4yo pool!!! This is what he said: Pool guy: Without doing a...

    Low water bill and broken bond beam?

    What do you think it will cost let’s say if 30% of the bond beam is compromised? I’m already guesstimating the deck will be about 8k-14k We just did a driveway and it seems to be the same square footage. I have a cache of tiles still.

    Low water bill and broken bond beam?

    Thanks for your insight. I figured if he’s the builder of the home then it’s still covered for the defects as it’s under 6 years. I’ll talk to my lawyer next week. 😩

    Low water bill and broken bond beam?

    Yes, but I just looked again and there’s tile delaminating in ever inner corner.

    Low water bill and broken bond beam?

    Two years ago, I bought a luxury home that's now draining my savings with constant maintenance costs, causing extreme financial strain. Recently, I noticed issues with the pool deck cracking and suspect the bond beam is cracked, as it lacks a proper extension joint, and the slabs are butting up...
