[Fiberglass popping out of ground]

We had our Fiberglass pool installed June 1, 2005. On October 12 at 2am in the morning the pool popped out of the ground. We heard a loud nice, the concrete cracking and out came the pool. We contacted POOL DESIGN in Yardley, NJ and even though the pool is still under warranty, they informed us, that it was our fault this happened, and that they wouldn't be responsible for the repairs. POOL DESIGN has been a nightmare to deal with from beginning until end and I wanted to make everybody aware of this place. They will take your Cash Money and leave after the pool is put in the ground. None of the contractors showed up when they were supposed to and phone calls to Pool Designs were hardly ever returned.

We were getting to close our pool for the winter and lowered the water level jsut below the skimmer, as instructed. Now we are getting blamed, for this pool coming out of the ground! It's unbelievable!! We were also told, that this has never happened to anyone!?!? Sure!!

What do you suggest our next step should be!? Any help is appreciated!!!!

sue sue sue my fiberglass pool popped out of the ground and that what i did. but first let me tell you be prepared to spend lots and lots of money, have lots of time more than you can imagine, and put a strain on your job and family, almost put you into bankrupcy, five years of my life and just receive enough money to cover the cost of replacement. be prepaired

[Fiberglass popping out of ground]

Has anyone had any experience with fiberglass pools popping out of the ground? All the fiberglass pool companies say that it is not possible. Well, from personal experieince IT IS POSSIBLE and we are suffering with it now. We had a Blue Dolphin fiberglass pool professionally installed 5 years ago. Have been very pleased up to now, but significant rain two weeks ago popped the pool out of the ground about 8 inches. The pool was FULL OF WATER to the normal water line when it occured. The installer is no longer in business, and we can't seem to locate the who the "parent" Blue Dolphin Fiberglass pool company is. (There are so many companies that use that name.) Anyone have any suggestions?

not only is it possible i watched it happen in my backyard. i had a fiberglass pool installed in my backyard in the summer of 1998. it took the pool installer all summer to install it so it was not used by my family that year at all. the instalation was compleated and the pool was closed for the winter. the next spring it was opened and used by my 4 sons. everything seemed fine except i had to add water to my pool with water almost everyday. the pool company was contacted they came out and told me it was because of the splashing of the water by my 4 sons. i told him i had to put water in my pool even on days that my sons did not swim in it. he told me not to worry. the pool was closed that fall by the same pool company that installed it. the spring of 2000 the same pool company again was called to open it but i was bumped twice on my opening so the crew could open friends of the owner of the pool company. i hired a 2nd pool company to open my pool and 1 week later my pool was 18" out of the ground. i called both pool companys and they both told me it was the other guys fault. so 5 years later and many court apperances i finally won. my advice to anyone that is looking at a fiberglass pool don't do it. i had it replaced with a gunite pool and it is a better quality pool and i am much happier with this one than the fiberglass pool.
