That's incredible. Buoyancy at work right there. So how would you prevent that from happening? Obviously it's watertight, would you weigh it down? Back fill around it with concrete? Now I wanna know what the fix is lol

looks like clay soil to me, proper soil and drainage should have prevented this, it can even happen to pools

I would imagine they would say it's cause by a flood, so probably not unless they have flood insurance
