Thanks. My question is in regard to the structural integrity of the pool. I'm looking for the proper place to post my question. Maybe you can steer me in the correct direction. I haven't looked around TFP yet. In central Florida almost all pools are concrete, so I wasn't sure what I was looking at. An inspector is coming to look at the home Wednesday.
This pool is an in-ground vinyl liner pool. I think that the walls that support the liner are supposed to be attached together, but I'm not sure.
There is a crack in the pool deck and you can reach into the crack and push the back side of the liner. If this is the case, then the walls that support the liner are not attached.
If the home inspector says this is a problem, then I am going to ask the seller to fix it. Depending on the cost, they may not, and I will be out of the inspection money. Although it would make sense that the seller has to fix it to sell it (albeit not legally) or else it will go unsold.
Living in Florida, I have never seen a vinyl in-ground pool pool before because they are almost always concrete pools. Therefore, my question is two fold.
1. Am I misunderstanding how vinyl pools are constructed, and should the walls be connected without gaps?
2. If this is a problem, how much would it cost for the seller to fix it before closing? If it is too much, they may bail out.
Where should I ask this question?
Thank you!
