Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts. It is very reassuring that most people seem to think it is ok to move forward. Hopefully, we can get to the end of this project without any other issues!

Yes - they would have to go below return jets and lighting on both sides. We are not confident on how carefully the dig out/repack would be. Thanks!

Hi! As some may recall from a previous post, we are having a fiberglass pool installed. The original concrete deck that was poured had to be broken up and removed due to a bad batch of concrete that caused immediate cracking. Par for the course on this project, that has caused other problems. It...

Update #2: Cement company thinks the cement may have been a bad mix and wants to remove and replace the entire decking around the pool. Anything we should be on the lookout for/checked for damage once all the old concrete is removed? (Replacement rails for the autocover have been reordered...

We were not left with any instructions but are 99 percent sure the concrete subs used an add mixture to accelerate curing as they were able to remove forms shortly after pouring. When we first asked about the crack shortly after concrete subs left, pool builder advised us to water it down. We...

This was after they filled with gravel and put down rebar.

Hi! We have a new fiberglass pool that was just installed. The process has been an extended nightmare due to some permit issues, but we’re finally getting close to the end. However, our concrete pool deck was just poured Friday morning. By Friday afternoon we could see hairline cracks in a...
