Comments (7)Maybe you can get a soil engineer to tell you what needs to be done and how much it will cost, and then get a better lawyer who can use that information to force the people doing the damage to pay for the solution. That's what I would try to do. My sympathies for your situation, what a nightmare! This post was edited by peachymomo on Sun, Jun 15, 14 at 9:49...See MorePool deck cracking
Comments (1)I suggest you post your comments in the pool forum...See MoreNeed to replace crumbling pool decking--suggestions???
Comments (9)The contractor who looked at pool/lanai deck today said that pavers were best long term solution-- said that taking the current surface off wasn't really necessary that they would lay a sand base and could level that to give even patio surface even if current surface is not level... Said that if you took it off you didn't know condition of the original surface under it Price including labor, new coping, taking out the bottom aluminum strip of screen cage to lay pavers and then replacing it and screen, and all pavers was just over 6K-- Also said pool itself looked in good shape--didn't really need resurfacing (which it doesn't) so didn't push for that... which was positive indicator to me that maybe he isn't out to gouge us... He has good recommendations on Angie's List and I can ask for other recommendations if we want them Also have couple of other people going to look at the patio Any suggestions for what type of pavers work best for pool decking... Most of the pavers I have seen for patios have been pretty rough and don't think they would be very comfortable for walking on in bare feet...but know we don't want something slick and dangerous... can they be treated with something to "cool" them down so they don't retain heat? These are questions I will email back to the contractor-- didn't think he would call back so quickly with his price so wasn't quite prepared... anyone have umbrella holes in a paver deck? are they worth the extra cost? there is no spa in this pool--and no sun/tanning ledge--so don't know if they would be that useful... appreciate info and if there are good pool designs posted here using pavers would appreciate knowing about them so can get some pictures......See Moreconcrete cracks around pool, cont'd
Comments (2)if your deck is exposed concrete then i don't have an answer, but if you have a topping (Cool Deck, Spraycrete, etc), then once the concrete has settled and most of the cracking is complete, you can install crack supression on the concrete and rework the topping. if it is excessive, then i would tell the pool company to provide you the concrete ticket from the concrete supply company to verify the concrete mix and see if they added any water to the mixture. could be bad concrete or could be bad prep/placement of the concrete. don't ask me how i know either :-)...See MoreMAGGIE96
