Hello all, we decided to do some renovations and since the pool skimmer had some pool putty patches , we thought replacing skimmer which was about 60 years old is a good star. We hired a pool company which build pools. They have dug to remove the skimmer and put a new skimmer. But water continuously is seeping from beneath the concrete deck to the hole. The big hole gets full every 2-3 hours. They said this is not high water table and never have seen. We don’t have any water lines issue. I thought since the skimmer has been patched the water leaked from the skimmer got trap between clay, concrete and is coming out now. I am not sure how I can download a video though. Any though would be appreciated
We are dealing with a weird situation

We also think it might be our deck drain. They are old and might be broken. We are getting tons of rain in Seattle , but not since they started

Step back and post some pics of where this hole is located. We need more context of its surroundings.
Also, they said they used main drain to drain pool, but used our deck drain to drain the hole. I am suspicious about our deck drains if they are not broken.

From the video it looks like an underground stream is flowing.
Take a sample of the water in the hole and test it for CYA. If it has CYA then it came from the pool. If no CYA then water is coming from someplace else.
I am assuming you have a good CYA level in your pool.

We had about 100 or more. I tested, but this one was much lower. Alkalinity was above 100 too

What does your plaster surface look like and how much water was drained? Looks like it’s seeping through the gunite shell?
The plaster is very old. They brought the level very down . This is about the deck. And I think the water level hasn’t changed
The plaster is very old , but we did not have any leak from the plaster
