    Waterline tile cracking on new pool

    Thanks very much for that feedback. I think my best option at this point is to hire a third party to assess and provide objective determination. I’m just curious if anyone thinks it’s possible that expansion of the pool deck on the opposite side of the pool could cause tiles to shift towards...

    Waterline tile cracking on new pool

    Waterline tile cracking on new pool

    Hello - I had an extensive pool remodel completed around March of 2019. Pool builder did all the work save the decking, which we had a separate contractor do. The concrete guy was previously a pool builder himself, had done hundreds of pool decks and was very knowledgeable. Now, three years...
