New pool with leak somewhere under the concrete

[ehorn]

I'm sorry to hear about your pain but I do sympathize with you about a pool builder who doesn't communicate after you give them your first check. I'm in Tucson, AZ and I have a builder who dug my pool and it took them 8 weeks to get a plumber out. Right now I'm waiting on the steel people, so we'll see how long it takes for that. Good luck with your leak.

Pool leak fixed. It was under the decking and they used acoustic sound detector to find it. Had to rip up a 10 X 4 section of concrete on the outer edge to get at the leak and make the repair. The decking company rollwed over a pipe with a wheel barrel is what they tell me.

Well one problem solved and then another arises! This one related to pool payments. Boy they are quick to call back when the realize they over paid a subcontractor and need me to repay them. I swear it wasn't 15 minutes after I spoke to someone about getting the plastering done and he had to check my payment status. I spoke to a live Carlton person more that day then in the past 2 months. So I challenged what they wanted to charge me (or should I say overcharge me) and now its back to silence (I think they know that I am right).

Oh well, hope I will be swimming this year, they only started the pool last September.

JonnyG -- Glad you got your leak repaired. Sadly I haven't been as lucky, and I'm still beating my head against the wall trying to get somebody from the pool company to return a phone call. Gosh, returning a phone call seems like such a simple concept, doesn't it?

Good luck Jrouse! My leak is repaired but the cement in one section is all torn up so now I must wait for the contractor to come back and replace. Something that they need to eat the cost on. When do you think they will be back? Some time this year maybe?

Thanks everyone for there help/suggestions.
