crafty33 said:My gunite pool "floated up" approx a foot. It looks bad. My pool contractor wants to drill holes and see if it will settle back down. What are the chances this will work and not have any problems with the pool in the future? Several tiles have come off, several cracks with ground water slowly seaping thru, pool has separated from cement surounding the pool (this has cracked also).
I have just read a little more information, with the holes drilled there is no chance of it settling down again, the contractor should have checked the water table before starting work I always drill a hole about 8 inches in the bottom to prevent this from happening.
Sorry Mate but the damage is done maybe a new pool with a Grease Trap Hydrostatic Valve.
