The pool has fiberglass side walls which seem to be in good shape. below the walls looks to be the problem. The bottom needs to be redone and a new liner added. I'm not sure about the pump and filter system, I will have that tested. Just looking for some direction and wether it's worth fixing an an Idea of cost. I'm pretty handy and think I could do most of the work myself with some direction.

what do i do if i can't reach comcast and my phone doesn't work?

they came and worked on my phone ten days ago, and it hasn't worked right since. they have been out three times, each time saying it was fixed. as of today, i don't even have a dial tone. i can't reach them, because their email is answered by a computer that keeps telling me to use their online chat. when i try to use the chat, i get a screen saying that chat is not available in my area. when i call, i keep getting "all of our associates are busy". i have waited on hold for a total of 55 minutes without talking to anyone. i keep having to hang up because i need to do something else. is there any other place i can call or contact for help?
