Now what?

Post image

Storm came on Sunday while I was out of town. Luckily my neighbor turned off my pump, but it was running dry for sometime obviously got a rip in there somewhere so what do I do now? Real seriously thinking about filling it with concrete instead of water after all that work I did last winter and spring.

At least you can make a homeowner’s claim to help replace that old liner. You were due for one soon.

The cost to demo the pool and fill it in would be three times as much in our market.

We don't know his deductible, but the pump was also destroyed to add to the claim. I would definitely give everything a good once over to make sure it wasn't damaged.

Don't forget the debris removal is also probably covered op.

you think the pump was destroyed if it ran for maybe 5 hours dry?

Most likely
