Delays in the installation Process

Here is a quick check list of some common occurrences that may hold up the construction process of your new pool. This list doesn’t cover absolutely everything, but it does cover the most common problems. Your pool contractor should be able to avoid most of these delays just by being proactive during the contracting process!

  • -Contracts and work orders not signed
  • -Proper permits
  • -New home construction
  • -Backyard/access not cleared of debris and ready for layout
  • -Access permission from neighbor must be obtainable (if required)
  • -Soil conditions (i.e. ledge, excessive ground water, stump dumps,  etc.)
  • -Running water not available to fill your pool
  • -Electric and gas connections not coordinated with contractor
  • -Inspections- utility trenches and finals
  • -Payments not turned in on time

and the biggest delay any outside construction ever faces….

  • -WEATHER

Mother nature is sometimes cruel. She wants you to swim, but she wants it to be on her terms.

If your contractor does everything right and doesn’t try to rush your project, then they should be making sure that weather conditions (and in turn soil conditions) are for the most part ideal. A little rain isn’t going to slow down most of the process, but a lot of rain can. Just be patient…your contractor probably wants to work as much as you want them to be working!

As with any construction, the process can be stressful if you let it. Just keep your eye on the prize and remember, the end result will be your gorgeous backyard paradise that you’ll enjoy for years and years to come!
