Illinois Pool Damage Review

A tornado sent a massive oak straight through my in-ground pool. I have structural report from insurance engineer with no pool experience says repair only. I have 3-4 quotes pool installers all saying replacement is necessary. I need independent, Illinois-licensed structural engineer who has real, hands-on pool experience to submit to insurance to request replacement not repair. Pool is on the river and there are issues with artesian spring. I have pictures. Here is what I need from you: 1. Perform an on-site damage evaluation focused on the pool’s foundation stability and wall reinforcement so we can document exactly how the tree impact compromised the shell. 2. Provide a clear explanation of the water-tight integrity risks you observe, even if that means confirming complete failure. 3. Compare repair versus full replacement, detailing why repair may or may not be structurally sound or cost-effective. The insurance company specifically wants to understand when replacement becomes the only viable option. 4. Review the existing engineer report and quotes, then issue a concise, signed report I can forward directly to the adjuster. Please confirm you hold an Illinois SE license, have previously assessed storm-damaged pools, and can schedule the site visit within the next two weeks. Photographic documentation, stamped structural opinion, and turnaround time for the final report are the key acceptance criteria.
