    1stgear;

    I'm guessing you're in Texas, or thereabouts? If you used a local contractor, the problem you encountered should have been one he was prepared to deal with. The fact that he wasn't is something to be concerned about. In areas with expansive soils, this is a well known problem, and one competent contractors are adept at avoiding.

    Fixing a pool, once it's heaved or lifted is not a minor task. Doing so well is likely to take better skills than would have been needed to avoid the problem in the first place.

    I'm not sure what to tell you -- it's not the sort of thing that can be well addressed with a few paragraphs of advice on a forum.

    Did you use a pool contractor to build the pool? If so, why isn't he involved on a warranty basis?
