PB forgot to get bond inspection from the township

[Pool278]

Hey everyone, my finished pool failed final inspection today due to the fact that my pb did not get the bond inspection, according to him “ they forgot”

He wants to remove 1st row of pavers so he can put the wire in and get it inspected.

Is there anything I should be worried about ?

Is this a plaster pool or vinyl? Did he just forget the inspection or he forgot to install a bond wire?

They will need to bond the wire to the structure of the pool (rebar or metal walls), ladder, light niche, etc. can they do that with just removing pavers?

There are many things to do for bonding and only 1 part is the wire...

Plaster pool, he is not 100% sure wether the bond wire has been placed or not but saying that he will see once we remove pavers.

Do you see a bond wire at your equipment pad, large 8ga green or bare copper? If so, the pool shell is, likely, bonded. Its the now-required deck bonding that gets past many builders.

Is there a copper wire attached to the back of your pump?? That should be the bonding wire.

You can check for bonding with a multimeter without digging up the deck, though I'm not sure that would pass as far as the town is concerned. Hopefully the shell is bonded though.
