Moved from here.
Hi Guys, can I get similar help with my question - my situation is a bit different; they shotcrete my pool and it came out awesome! no cracks/nothing. But it was discovered the next day when I walked IN the pool, that they got the shallow end wrong. So they needed to build up the shallow end by adding anywhere from 2" - 8". I asked if there was a problem by doing this, like prone to cracking or anything like that? they said no. So they came, added the correct height, and almost 4-5 hour after they left, tons of cracks have showed up. I dont know if this is OK? will this show up later when they do the plaster? is there anything I need to worry about here or insist that they do? like seal the cracks or anything? or is this normal and will just be fine?
Images are from day after.
(yes, I've been watering on schedule 3-5 times a day)
If the underlying gunite was solid and they just layered on some more without rebar then the cracks are to be expected and not a problem. That area is not structural. The structural support is the gunite and rebar below that layer.
Thanks, Allen, for the reply. New question - so we had some heavy rain, and now I see 'dirty water' seeping thru the light holes and return holes? PB said its OK, not to worry, but wanted to see what you guys thought?
It is fine. The plaster will seal it up.
