Pool Construction Defect Investigation

Swimming pool construction involves multiple specialized trades including structural work, hydraulic plumbing, decking systems, tile installation, waterproofing, and equipment installation. When these components are improperly installed, significant functional and structural problems can occur.

Our defect investigation process typically includes:

• Visual inspection of the pool structure and surrounding decking
• Evaluation of tile, coping, and waterline installation
• Inspection of pool equipment and hydraulic plumbing systems
• Deck slope and drainage analysis
• Identification of installation sequencing issues
• Photographic documentation of construction conditions
• Straight-edge and level verification where applicable

Following the inspection, Florida Pool Tech can provide a written report documenting observed conditions and recommended corrective measures.
