Swimming pool construction defects include structural issues such as cracks in the walls of the pool or concrete deck, and mechanical problems such as clogged filters, pump malfunction, or leaks.

Cracks: These can appear in the pool walls or surrounding concrete and are often caused by ground movement, due to inadequate soil preparation.

Leaks: A serious problem that can lead to water loss and damage to the surrounding areas including buildings.

Rough surfaces: Excessively rough surfaces can be uncomfortable or can even cause personal injury.

Shifting concrete: The concrete deck around the pool can shift due to ground movement. Poor installation: Such as inadequate concrete joints, or placing the pool too close to a building can lead to many types of problems.

Subsidence: This can refer to the pool or surrounding deck areas.

Plumbing leaks: Leaks can occur in the pipes connected to the pool's equipment.

Faulty wiring: Faulty wiring can cause harm to individuals using the pool.
