I just finished a major pool patio renovation by adding bluestone all around the pool. The mason laid the bluestone on top of the existing concrete coping then built up the weed and critter habitat to the height of the coping which was about 3”. I have just started noticing vertical cracks in the coping that appear to be at original segments, horizontal cracks in the tile and another horizontal crack on the coping. In addition to the tons of rock added to the area we have had over 20 shallow minor earthquakes (all in the 2s) within 10 miles of my house. I’ve only felt two of them though!
The crappy caulking job is another problem but that predated this issue so I’ve adjusted.
Anyone have any ideas what’s going on? Should I get a structural engineer consult? I wanted to enjoy this pool season and many more but if it turns out to be a costly repair I’m taking the money and running, ie, selling the house in a NY minute!
Thanks.
