Resurrecting an old thread just in case anyone stumbles on this and wonders what happened. Turned out to be ASR in the pool shell, causing cracking and movement which then moved the skimmer lugs and cracked the decking. Entire pool and decking had to be demo'd and rebuilt. Lucky me.
 
New pool and decking for free then?
Builder folded. Concrete company is in bankruptcy. Insurance company has denied the claim, leaving me with thousands of dollars of legal fees. I ultimately had to reach into my own wallet to make this happen. It's a nightmare. And unfortunately happening to thousands of homeowners in the central Texas area.
 
No registrar of contractors to go to bat for you against the poor builder and maybe help you with the bond the bad company had to put up, or was that money gone when you tried to get it?
Nothing. Legal options only. And I just wasn't willing to continue to sink money into attorneys. I have friends who have been at this for 2 years now, with nothing to show for it except $35,000 in legal fees and an empty pool in their backyard. Infuriating. But for my own mental health, I just had to move on.
