Is a pool leak covered by household insurance?
To put it to you in simple terms, No pool leaks are not covered under household insurance.
Insurance usually only covers for sudden or unforseen damages on swimming pools which means should a rain storm occure and a tree or car falls into your pool causing damage or a car has an accident outside your house, hits your wall with the bricks smashing your pool or something like that then that is considered unforseen or sudden but a leak in general is not considered sudden or unforseen under normal circumstances.
Agree or disagree but it is in human nature when I say that homeowners generally only really look after there swimming pools in the summer months when pools are been used in full swing, but winter months come and pools get covered so they get neglected and its the neglect or lack of which causes leaks which wouldn’t have occured if one had been maintaining the pool as this could have been prevented.
If you do not know what to look for then hiring a pro would be your best bet as these things are picked up way before the time and will save you the hassle and headache in the long term.
