Hello. I am totally new to all of this. But I have been reading the forums for over a month. Gathering info regarding the current situation of our pool remodel
We wanted to replaster our pool/new coping/lights ect.
Last year contractor placed new coping first. Within weeks it was broken and shifted. He never came out to do anything. And when he finally did he blew it off that it was an east fix.
Come this spring when we were ready to replaster. He claims the pool dropped half an inch causing the coping to fall. He said the pool needed to be mud jacked.
Mud jack guy said he did not believe this was the cause but contractor insisted it be done
New coping fixed. New quartz plaster done
My pool was open without water for 2.5 months
After new plaster. I was given no instructions about start up. I only new about a start up from finding this forum. When asking my contractor about it I was told they handle it
I checked my cameras and they came out one to brush. I was out of town until today and I started back up. It went 2.5 days no brushing. I haven’t seen anyone check the water. Add anything.
To end this post. I was told my skimmer line is probably cracked. And it happened “likely” during mud jacking. But as with everything with this project there’s always an excuse. They have having a sonar done to check and then repair it.
My concerns other than the mountain of issues and money this has cost us.
How can they repair this without ruining the new plaster? Also. I’ve noticed streaks in my pool. White areas along the wall. Is this permanent and was it caused bc they failed to provide proper brushing and water chemistry?
I’m on the verge of a breakdown. It’s a never ending nightmare.
