Standing Up Against
Builders Who Fail to Prevent Concrete Cancer
With proper construction, a swimming pool is a structurally sound addition to your home or community that can provide entertainment for many years. However, when negligent builders cut corners, pools can crumble quickly and become completely unusable.
A rising problem in Austin and Central Texas, alkali-silica reaction (ASR) or “concrete cancer” describes when pool concrete deteriorates because the cement was mixed improperly and lacks crucial additives, such as fly ash. Without these additives, the alkaline cement paste chemically interacts with reactive silica in certain aggregates, such as sand and crushed stone, forming a gel that can absorb water. Water then makes the concrete expand, which causes cracking in the pool cement. The only way to combat concrete cancer is to dig up the pool and rebuild it, a process that’s both time-consuming and expensive. You shouldn’t have to foot the bill for this.
Hundreds of pools throughout Austin have concrete cancer. If your pool is one of them, we want to hear from you. Wenholz Law Firm is helping affected pool owners take action against pool builders who cut corners and failed to take the proper preventative measures against concrete cancer.
Meet Dave Wenholz Your Swimming Pool Defect Lawyer in Austin
Dave Wenholz is the first attorney in his extended family, so he knows how the average person feels about lawyers and the justice system. He’s here to spearhead your case, translate the legalese, and help steer you toward a positive resolution. He’s dedicated to helping property owners stand up to negligent builders and bad faith insurance.
ASR is a chemical reaction that causes severe structural damage. If you’ve noticed cracking patterns in your pool and a gel-like substance oozing from the cracks, it may seem natural to contact your pool builder so they can address it. However, your pool builder may simply slap a quick fix over the cracks or make repairs that once again suffer from ASR.
Instead, consult Mr. Wenholz and our Austin construction defect law office. Mr. Wenholz may recommend testing your pool concrete and pursuing a lawsuit that holds negligent builders accountable for their construction defects and allows you to secure just compensation for your damages.
“In most cases, Texas grants a period of 10 years from the date the construction was completed to file suit against a builder. If a warranty is provided, you have just six years.”
