Gunite Warranty

We warrant that gunite construction will be applied according to the general accepted procedures as referenced by the American Concrete Institute ACI 506.2 standards except as modified by the requirements of the project specifications.

Modern Method Gunite, Inc. guarantees that the average compression strength of 3000 pounds per square inch will be achieved after twenty-eight days. Gunite strength will be determined under the ASTM C42 guidelines by three cores taken from the structure representing a shift, or fifty cubic yards of gunite. Strength will equal or exceed eighty-five percent of the design strength with no individual core less than seventy-five percent. If a strength test is required, Modern Method Gunite, Inc. is not responsible for any expenses incurred, and requires that an authorized employee of Modern Method Gunite, Inc. be present.

Project design, preparation of surfaces, steel placement, setting of forms, availability of potable water at the job site, curing and protection of freshly placed gunite, are not in the scope of work or the responsibility of Modern Method Gunite, Inc.

In the unlikely event of a product failure due to insufficient compressive strength, as outlined above, Modern Method Gunite, Inc. will repair or replace the failed material in question only at our sole discretion. Repairs or replacements do not apply to consequential damages or any other phase of the structure.

Modern Method Gunite, Inc. does not guarantee failure of gunite due to external forces such as: natural causes, ground movement, ground water pressure, failures in the project design, preparation of surfaces, preparation of steel placement, preparation of forms, curing, protection of freshly-placed gunite, or failure due to plugged weep holes.

Modern Method Gunite, Inc. will, upon request, transfer this warranty from the original pool owner to another owner by inspection and payment of a transfer fee of five hundred dollars.
