    ASR - Concrete Cancer - Austin, TX

    Not looking for legal advice, I'm interested in assessment, remediation of pool (repair) and any procedures you had to follow. I'm sure there's someone on here who like me, paid $100K+ for a pool and then had this happen when you trusted (originally) reputable companies.
