Can someone be awarded a judgment if they do not provide an opportunity for the defendant to fix the property damage?

I dispute the fact that we caused the damage. We maintained a pool for a homeowner for one season. The shell of the pool failed and leaked and a pump failed I only found out about it 2 months later when I contacted the renter to collect an outstanding balance. All of the damage has been fixed by another company. There was also prior damage to the pool before we took over, and we never warranted that their chemistry would stay perfect all week. Can they be awarded a judgment against me without having given me the opportunity to fix the damage
