Following up on the previous post above….
Cody Pools called me today. They are paying for core sample testing on every pool they built with concrete from that specific subcontractor. They built around 200 pools with that company’s concrete and are core testing all of those pools, including mine at $8000 per test. So far they’ve tested 20 pools in that group and all 20 have been found to have ASR. All 20 are being demolished and rebuilt.
That particular concrete business has now gone bankrupt and their insurance company has stopped paying for those core samples and pool rebuilds. Cody Pools’ insurance company has now taken over paying for it all, probably while fighting with the concrete company’s insurance.
The core sampling is moving slow and they probably won’t get to mine until late this year, unless cracks develop before then. Cody assures me the insurance money is there to rebuild every one of those 200 pools that are likely affected. But I’m worried about policy limits running out before they get to mine. Hopefully they can subrogate some of that from the concrete company’s insurance to decrease the chances of that.
Good times ahead. Guess I’ll hold off on building the covered patio next to the pool. Gonna start a list of all the things I’ll do different on the second one.
