Pool Surface Additional Notes

The plaster has four locations of potential water loss/structure failures due to cracks etc;

OPINION: Site observation reflects a sloping topography in adjacent properties, to the north / west is an ascending elevation of approx +20 feet into the south a descending elevation -10 feet. The pool's maximum depth of 6 feet would be excavated in a recognized very expansive soil condition in the Treelake area. These conditions exacerbate expansive and contractive characteristics under wet season conditions and summer heat. As a result of improper drainage, over irrigation, pool leakage, and drying out conditions of this type of soil contraction and heaving can result. Our observations of the variations of water level at the water line tile may indicate that the pool has settled. Additionally, the pool deck has risen in some areas which is indicative of moisture absorption in expansive soils. These observations in combination with what appears to be structural cracking in the pool shell may reflect that the additional surcharge of the adjacent saturated soils to the pool shell may have exerted forces beyond the structural prescription. Further forensics and in field investigative procedures can be performed by licensed professionals to disclaim or authenticate these opinions.
