I have messaged with Dirk and received great advice!!

I do not have any pictures of the rebar stage unfortunately. But based on the fact that the pool is built on a slope with no soil engineering I am guessing the pool is not going to stop moving. I have spoken with two pool inspectors (actually they are both well versed in pool failure analysis)...

Quick update. Have been dealing with the lady who is in charge of the service department. We sent an email over the weekend asking for an explanation as to the cause of the crack and that we were not happy with with the quality of the patch. Her reply was that it would blend over time and to...

Hahaha! I think he helped build this pool!

Showing slope

Here is from the excavation and hope from the fence line showing the slope. And we WERE planning on planting grass this spring :)

You are all amazing and I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will continue down the path of working with the builder all the while investigating my legal options and working with a 3rd party of necessary. Y'all provided a ton of great information.

Thanks for the links! At least I know this is not the first time this has occurred. I'm wondering how much we should have known prior to building. Should the layperson know to get an engineering report for the soil orthat on a sloping property the pool needs to be built differently? Or are...

We have pictures of everything. The pool appears to be level, based on the tile grout line. With no information from the builder yet other than doing the patch I have been forced to come up with my own theory as to what is occuring based on the information I have come across in the last few...

Thanks for all of the replies. I have been looking through the documentation we received from the pool builder. Within that were the plans they used to build the pool. Apparently they purchased the plans from a company (pool engineering) and they are "series 100" which are standard pool...

We are most definitely on a slope

The cracks appear to be diagonal from each other, one twords the deep end and the other from the deep end side of the step. Definitely seem to be related.

I do not believe that there was any engineering with regards to the soil. Unfortunately we made the assumption that the pool builder was guiding us through the process and would inform us of any necessary actions on our part. I did find the pool plans and they were stamped by a p.e. so that is...
