neb:xpd:Hope this isn't too dumb a question, but... water damage to a pool?
The pool is stuffed. At that level, the silt and water get in behind the vinyl and cause it to lift etc.
Its a vinyl lined pool, so you have a hole in the ground, light concrete base, line it with thing metal sheeting around the sides, which gives it the shape, then place vinyl over the top. Unfortunately you pretty much always have gaps etc around the edging, and if water gets in between everything, it can cause the vinyl to lift off the bottom causing it to bunch/become mis-shaped, so no longer a smooth finish and eventually cause the light concrete to break etc risking holes/damage to the liner.
Has this happened ? Well, to be honest, no idea as yet, as the pool is now a nice brown color so I can't see the bottom. But going by how badly it flooded, I'm pretty sure its happened. At this stage we're waiting an insurance assessor to visit and they'll make the call in what to do.
If I drain the pool, and leave it exposed too long, the vinyl starts to shrink, and you then cant get it back to the original shape/size when refilled.
If insurance is happy to sort it, great, if not we'll probably just fill it in...... I'll turn it into a nice BBQ area with a man shed and spa :D
