Swimming Pool Structural Damage

The owner of a residential property noticed significant cracking and spalling around their pool surrounds and suspected a construction defect, engaging Saymex to determine the cause ahead of a potential warranty claim.

Assessment of the crack patterns, spalling location, and surface condition of the pool surrounds pointed to a construction-stage cause rather than ground movement or subsequent damage. Inadequate concrete mix and insufficient curing at the time of construction were identified as the underlying cause.

A defect causation report setting out the evidence linking the damage to original construction quality, which supported a successful warranty claim against the builder.
