It now looks as if we're gonna go into argument mode. After getting in yesterday with the water lose slowing dramatically, I found a tear in the shallow end by the steps. There's also a spot above the tear where a crack has formed in the concrete and has started causing the metal walls to separate. At this point it also looks like we'll need to replace the decking some as well. I'm getting very interested in seeing what everything looks like under the liner. I patched the tear and did a bucket test.....but a rain storm messed everything up. Gonna try it again this weekend.
They had an employee from the blasting company come out and document the damage, and inspect to see if there's any liability on their end. Several new cracks were found in the house, and have been noted. They called today however and left a message stating that they felt the damage wasn't caused from blasting......as they feel they're too far away from any houses to cause any damage. I'm guessing the house shaking whenever they blast is normal. At this point I see a grim outlook to all of this. Had they stated that the damage was to the liner, and at this point they feel that age was the main cause (12 years) I'd question our argument.....but their response caused us to get my brother-in-law, a geologist to start pulling up some paperwork.
