Backyard swimming pools proliferated in American suburbs during the 1960s and 1970s as PVC pipe made underground plumbing affordable for residential use. The circulation plumbing installed under those pools, buried two to four feet underground, has now been in the ground for 50 to 60 years. PVC pipe has a rated lifespan of 50 to 80 years under normal conditions, but UV exposure at connections, ground movement, and pool chemical infiltration at joints accelerate degradation. Underground pool plumbing leaks now account for some of the highest-volume hidden water losses in residential properties.
Fifty years underground without an inspection is how a pool becomes a foundation problem.
