If this is the worst thing going on in this town its definitely a great place to raise a family.
Mark Munoz except for the constant pool related floods and all the deaths they bring
Josef Stalin lmao
If this rocked the entire town
damn
I’d love to live here

"This pool is dangerous to be around... that's why we keep it filled and have floaters in it"
Haha
As they show pictures of her grandchildren in the pool... 🤦♂️
i was thinking the same thing.......
And stand on the side that's buckling.
If you dont keep water in it the liner turns into a solid and breaks
This is the news now.
Wow.
Taylor Mallory yes bad contractors should be outed
LOL, yes, truly worthy of everyone's attention and time. An above-ground pool installed slightly incorrectly and the installer is "gasp" going to correct it in several months!
Bad consumers should be red flagged for other contractors too.
Taylor Mallory ....yeah...ever since Hillary Clinton LOST, everything is upside down
Better this news than, x amount of people were murdered and robbed again. Maybe this area doesn't habe much crime
Should that pool buckle under pressure, it would rise the sea level over 50 feet, wiping out 1/5 of the world's population.
josue4everyone hahahaha
josue4everyone you’re an ass!
Thanos would make 3 such
I’m way in Cali & I want my mommy
😂
the hell is this on the news for? nobody cares about some cheap ass above ground pool slightly leaning
RayDLX hahh
then why the fuck are u watching this video, like dayum u care enough to the point u had to comment
It's on the news because they have segments to put ppl like that on blast for faulty work. These segments have been going on for years
Looooool
RayDLX
FACTS THANK YOU
If it breaks, she'll have a 25 second waterslide.
I was expecting the pool to be improperly grounded or something, not a dent in the side. Lame
Shadowsumbra
It's in level about five inches from one side to another from that distance it's alot it's not just a dent on top of that it's missing hardware do you listen when you listened to the video or just look at pics
Rick Jones still not worth a news story...
Rick Jones the thumbnail doesn't even show the dent so he obviously watched the video
Lol!
Y’all tried flex tape?
「Kumagawa」 they definitely should
A BIG HOLE
I sawed this boat in half.
That pool has some MAJOR DAMAGE
Not even flex tape can fix buckling metal sadly
Yep the kids would go about 5 feet untill they reach the fence. Thats super dangerous, better evacuate everything within 100 miles in that direction
stone tooth lol
stone tooth lol i know wtf actually it sounds like a hell of a fun ride too
Lol
stone tooth Lmfao RIGHT 😂😂
pool installtion guy should charge them for the free water slide they installed ^_-
Guy: "I wouldn't swim in it. "
Background: tube floating.
They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for this story.
Slow news day.
this is beyond that already
Really not "pool"?
Scraping the bottom of the pool you mean?
LMAO
I like the fact that the inner sides have got fake stonework painted on them. Adds a real touch of class.
That's how they are made. So you can replace the lining. Suppose to be cheaper than in ground pool.
Aighhhtttt
DeShawn 'Dawg' BNBG you realize she’s the one that purchased the pool. They just installed it......
She went the cheap route. Now it shows
These pools a r e n t cheap, we own one and it cost $11,000, dont talk shit about things you know nothing about, the installer didn't do his job right, and has everyone ever heard of damn liner? You have to replace those on a pool if they're above ground.
So why haven't they drained the Damm thing?
41magfan Lmao. It would be hard but if they are this scared about it they should find a way lol!
Lol, I'll emty for the right price. Think 41 magnum would do the trick
OR if you're that concerned, just have someone else fix it and sue the original company.
Cali would pay dearly for that much water
Why are the steps down? rofl...
1:55 the news is so funny, "Stand over there and start walking this way towards the pool for a good shot".
"she worries for the safety of her grandchildren". Then empty the pool fool
or put the ladder up...
pahuntnut You don't empty above ground pools...
You dont empty any pool, doing so will wreck your liner.
you empty the pool when the safety of your grandchildren is concerned. People first, material things second.
she was worriend about the safety of her grandchildren. Not her liner. Whats more important?
I’ve been in a pool that collapsed... it was fun..
Me too, 60 years ago, we made a whirlpool and the pool wall split, all the water went down the basement entrance and flooded the basement.
@@lichub omg
Kim Fuller: "Scared of Pool"
It's a profession.
Pools are known to bite.
Hodgeknobbler FULLER on one side than the other
Hodgeknobbler I started laughing so hard at that
The day this was published, 21 civilians in Mosul were executed by the Islamic State. The day before, 2 car bombings in Fallujah killed 8 and injured 20.
And in Florida, a middle-class woman wasn't happy with her new pool.
On a country invaded by MURDER ! That love to cheat , lie and steal !!
And in the other part of town, Karen didn't get her whoppers without cheese.
@Caleb Baggett Very shoking [sic].
@Caleb Baggett No, you're right - we should all sit around watching news stories about people in the US unhappy with their swimming pools. Because this stuff's just scandalous. Really, they should have put a trigger warning on this one... 🙄
The Middle East exploding isn't anything new, at least this pool story is entertaining
Oh please people. My pool wall collapsed and it was a fun ride. The water will rush out and thats it..... omg. Get over it.
Depending on the age. If a child is in there while it breaks, that child could get it's head slammed into part of the wall or go under. It doesn't take long for a little one to drown.
What about the fact that it will brake?
Harper Bowersox how is he a pussy he is gonna be the one who will survive that situation good luck to you if its soo fun
Would you be happy if your new car had the engine fall out of it 6 months after you bought it?
Cona Bish sounds like you live your life in a bubble wrapped box lmao 70s 80s and 90s there would have never been a report about it and I'm sure plenty of above ground pools had there issues and parents or grandparents if that worried probably shouldn't leave the infantile child in the pool with any adult supervision
"Hopefully you can come see it when it looks good."
Lady, it's an above-ground pool. It will NEVER look good.
First world problems.
🙄
Iam Legend you sir are a legend
Wow who’d athunk?
Yeah, 1st world problems when young children drip out a pool at high speeds and crash into A STEEL WALL!
Frisbee lmaoo what 😂😂😂
Cue the air raid sirens!
In ‘87 we had an above ground pool installed in our yard. It was only 15’ across,
yet it too, started leaning toward the back fence, which is adjacent to the paved parking lot owned by the church.
Was likely due to the shifting of the ground and maybe improper ground preparations before it was installed
The pool remained intact way past its warranty and we never did have a flood, nor did the pool tip over.
Even though it was leaning so much to one side, you could visibly see where the wall was starting to buckle.
Anyhow, the pool itself was professionally installed by Trévi, one of the biggest pool and spa companies in Quebec
It was dismantled in 2011 or 2012 by my brother because no one was using it anymore and became too much to maintain on such a fixed budget
Must have been a slow news day.
When installing an above ground pool it is absolutely required that the area the pool will set be level and properly filled with sand which will support the pool and water weight without sinking. The sand base should only be under the pool liner and not beyond that footprint or the outside wall supports will sink into the sand and create havoc.
Drain it if you are worried about it. It will stay safe until they get back out there. Odds are it will need to be drained anyway.
or put the ladder up...
The liner will shrink if you drain it and it dries out.
@@lichub thats what we want
Don't be stupid they're not showing up they got their money
So true
This saddens me that contractors take advantage of people thinking they will never find the mistake.
You know whats not safe? Smoking!!
slownlow210 what the fuck that got to do with the video
slownlow210 RIGHT?! LOL
....you have our support slownlow210
You know whats not smoking
Safe
How
TF is this news?????
That what I'm saying lol
When i was 12 our pool ( that was slightly elevated behind the house) collapsed and i legit floated through the kitchen and halfway down the hallway. As soon as my mom got off the phone with the insurance company i asked her, since half the house was already trashed, could we refill the pool and do it again? She thought i was joking
EATSLEEPDRIVE2002 if it collapsed how could you do it again?
916OnMiNeZ because 12-year-old logic
EATSLEEPDRIVE2002 you should have called the national news!
Fun
🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
This is the only story i've actually enjoyed reading on youtube
Above ground pools can be expensive (assuming the lady isn’t wealthy, like most of us aren’t); she has a reasonable expectation that her pool would be installed LEVEL.
Maybe her lazy husband and useless son, (son-in-law) should have put up the pool.
above ground pools are better. they tax the crap out of you just for having a in ground pool.
In florida, should've gone with an inground, concrete pool, the only thing good about above ground pools is they are easier to take down when your sick of it
bleachinuri you already have a beach floods and hurricanes is that not enough water
HERPY DERPEDY
If you lived in Florida you'd realize you could have someone follow you with a fire truck spraying water on you and it's still not enough.
Thats because you spend to much time with the ac on 60. Go out get used to the heat.
I grew up in Florida with an above ground pool. We had it for a decade before moved. Never had a problem with it.
Jack Hack
Practical, maybe. Ugly, DEFINITELY.
The pool busting would be like the best ride ever, LOL!!
The installer didn't say he wouldn't fix it, he said he'd come back in the winter (when the pool is normally drained), that thing is perfectly safe, would probably last a decade. Even in the event of failure while the grandkids were in the pool they'd be washed out onto the soft grass probably laughing their heads off with a story they'd have for the rest of their lives. Playing in the ankle deep surf on the beach is more dangerous.
lol christ fuck that. You pay for a service it should be done correctly. Simple
Metal fatigue like that increases exponentially with time. The metal is strongest in its initial form before being bent. The more bent it is, the easier it is to bend.
Ghost2Coast Kids would be slammed against the railing & could have serious injuries or 💀💀💀!!!*** wake 👆🆙up!!!
Kzero 👍YES YOU'RE 100% 👉👍RIGHT!!!
Ghost2Coast If you don’t have any issues with this, you are the ideal customer for a business! (Not sure where she lives in FL, but if southern FL, you don’t DRAIN the pool in the winter- it doesn’t freeze (even n. FL I’m sure they just lower the water level.) You’re falling for a total brush off!
100 degrees...i am going for it man
I'm hearing people call this woman a rich snob...wtf does that have to do with paying for a shitty job. She paid whatever she paid for the pool installers to come out and do a bullshit install... I see no compacted sand base nor did they build the pool with all the necessary hardware. The woman customer is a complete victim and should sue those crooks that attempted to rip her off....
ceedaddy kims husband over here^ 😂😂😂
Yes the pool was improperly installed. But there is no danger.
Danger or not she didn't pay to swim in a turd.....
+POV, then they should come back and fix their shitty install. Just because you guys roll over and take everything up the ass doesn't mean everybody else does. If I paid thousands for some bullshit pool and installers I'd expect it to be done correctly. This lady is 100% in the right.
Fuck that..you get what you pay for. Not like she spent $40k or 70k for an inground pool. She went the cheap route.....so what do you expect.
He said it's Totally Wet
go away
dude im so happy to see that one of your unfunny comments hasnt got 10k likes!!!
And the professional, "been doing this for decades" guy wanted to be on the news so he also thinks it's unsafe and will wipe out the whole neighborhood if it blows.
Bored.In.California lol true
Yeah except even the installers admit they'd have to fix it later
It is unsafe he knew exactly what he was doing measured the water to see how uneven the ground really was. We're talking about metal here stuff on the pool can easily cut you if this thing was to go down sounds like fun? More like a huge lawsuit
lol what? Did they throw in the spider webs and debris, too?
Bored.In.California yea, who would have thought a competing business would have bad things to say about his competitors 🤦♂️
This is on the news?
If it's unsafe then drain the water and take the pool down easy as that
Looks like that pool is all *washed* up
Har har hae
No
How does this make news, but when some kid got his thumb chopped off in the weight room at school doesn't make news
no one wanna see that shit
Remember back in 89, this same mistake, yes sir. Took out the whole neighborhood. My friends son was repairing a roof when the pool went, killed him in a matter of seconds. When ever I see a above ground pool I tell the owners it's a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. Even the kidie pools are enough to destroy a small house.
I wanna ride the wave hell my pool is a tarp in the bed of my truck
Otter Sweet yeah it's runs away from any fat kids trying to hop in the pool !
It would be real fun to ride that wave
Mine did the same thing, one side was leaning and off by a few inches We used it for months with no problems. Same with a family friends pool. In my opinion it’s really not a huge deal, depending on how much it’s leaning, but should be fixed if possible. If it breaks, well that’s quite the ride whoever’s in it is going to take!
drain the water and fix it
Not an easy fix. Liner has to be destroyed as once the liner is out no way to be sure not to puncture a hole in it. So new liner needed $300 bucks. Plus maybe $600 or so in labor help to disasemble and reasemble. HASSLE......
To all you 14 year olds in the comments that are jumping on the hate train because you're ignorant:
This isn't a shitty little pool from Walmart. This pool is made of sheet metal. If it breaks, there's going to be a large metal hole with sharp edges that can really cut someone up.
You don't drain these kinds of pools after they're filled. Once they're filled, the metal expands and emptying it would cause the metal to shrink back, and filling it up again could cause fatigue failure.
This woman has every right to expect to have a correctly installed pool. There's nothing more to it than that. And don't act like you're a pool expert when you're not.
Who cares if it breaks while you are in it a little waterfall ride never hurt anyone
Saberease Era through a jagged metal hole?
Tact1cal Banana No because they're 12.
Tact1cal Banana metal you mean plastic and you will be going over it not through it
Saberease Era you would to the through the hole and plastic is still sharp af
Saberease Era if put hole in a cup the water comes out not over
In 10 years that thing will still be sitting there full to the top of green water, and she will still be talking about how it was installed wrong🙄..
It's safe come on stop complaining
Guillermo g nigga have you heard of the condition of the fucking pool
I'm worried about that families safety. This has troubled and disturbed me for quite some time. I'm very worried and think about it at least once a day for over a year now. God bless them
I'm worried about your grammar. This has troubled and disturbed me for quite some time. I'm very worried and think about it at least once a day for over a minute now.
Actually, the grammar was fine
I’m worried about your wife
I would have given anything to see the look on her childrens face when she told them they can't swim in the pool till it's fixed. #Total bummer dude 🏄🏊
Thanks for taking action for me! I didn’t know I was in danger.
Why is this news
The pool: *slightly uneven*
Her: omg i dont want anyone in the pool
Taking Karening to new depths. 🤣
Ok I just looked and paused video and saw the tiny 3 inch line that is Buckled inward which is weird because usually it buckles outward. In any case that little shit is nothing to worry about.
i got an ad on a news source talking about pool fences and i thought it was the video, till i saw i could skip the ad after watching it for 5 minutes
You think that pool is leaning 😂😂 u should see ours lady
No pool expert but when I grew up everyone in the neighborhood had above ground pools and I either assisted or installed more than mt fair share of them. For those you hating on this women that was a lousy install and thats putting it mildly. To be off by five inches is an embarrassment to the installer. If I owned the company I would do what is right and fix it. I work in machine reair and sometimes mistakes are made, just man up and resolve the issue. You cant just drain the water and leave it as the water is part of the support.
Your yard isn't level.. you took the risk!
I don't think it went swimmingly.
Thousands of dollars?
Jake Nothanks, I know right... go to big lots and buy a 300 dollar above ground unit... I think above ground is trashy any way.
Ryan Bitter an actual above ground pool is a couple of grand. They're ugly, yes, but they're actual pools...not those cheap ass pvc things available at walmart or big lots.
ROTAXD no it’s not, I googled and found that exact type of pool. The 18x36’ model is $799 delivered........ Hers doesn’t even look to be that big so it was probably a $400 - $500 pool.
Wow a competing pool guy says his competition is dangerous really good investigative work
It's made of sheet metal you could get a very nasty injury if on the way out of the pool you slice yourself wide open remembering its kids inside
Stuart Goldup that's what I'm saying these fools have no clue how this thing is really made there are tons of sharp peaces.. I could just imagine what it looked like underneath with the cross supports etc. Terrible work to say the least
Nope....you would not. Walls will never sheer off like that and leave a sharp edge. Those walls will last for 20 years. Its brand new, not a rusted old pool
Do you make your kids sleep with their bike helmets on in case they fall out of bed ?
kids now a days are way too soft. A few scrapes and bruises will toughen them up.
Or given todays, kids more likely make them scared of pools for life. Either way life's lesson learnt.
Matt Lane did you read what I put nasty injury on the way out I said meaning when the Pool breaks you fool
Local news is so great. Such mundane stuff, it's quite charming.
Get a real pool in the ground and your problems are solved.
Dr. Drake Ramoray ... that’s the Joey Tribiani answer for ya!
Paula Johnson someone built a decent pool for 2.5k..
This is the best action news in the world.
Shouldn't have mentioned to the installer that you wanted a pool with a deep end and a shallow end!
e greenie it's a above ground pool
Rïçky C. Being that I can see that the sides of the pool are sticking up out of the ground about 5', I think its safe to say that I, along with the other 99.999% of people, including yourself, can definitely tell that it is an above ground pool. But in case I just happened to miss something, thanks for pointing it out.🙄
So here’s the question whose responsibility is it to grade the land to make it level for the pool to be installed and the answer is the guy who installed the pool should’ve told her it’s not level and then giving her the option to either have it leveled by one or her contractors or pay him additional money to have it leveled
She hired the cheapest company she could find - looks good on her.
Exactly, you get what you pay for. Lol.
It's been 3 years now... wonder what happened? I would hate to pay the extra water bill filling it all back up again but hopefully it got fixed properly!
I was also wondering what the outcome of this was.
If I pay someone, that is supposed to know what they are doing, and the repair or installation is wrong,; it has to be fixed. Not in the winter time, now MOtherF. I don't care if the ground dropped or not, the installer should have anticipated this. Repaired it now so that the person that PAID can use it NOW. Whether you think this woman is a snob or not, she PAID for a job and the job was not done correctly. That is the crux of this video. Too many a-holes doing a job they should not be doing.
Renee Jewell so on your opinion these asshole fly by night contractors should be paid for doing sub par work ? What a dumb bitch. Smh
Don't know why everybody is getting on the home owner. All she wants is her pool installed correctly because it was installed incorrectly. 5 inches out of level is no good. She paid someone to do a job, it should have been perfectly level.
*totally wet*
Why is this news?
What an ugly thing to put in your yard.
Well she wasn’t that ugly 30 years ago.
Her whole yard looks depressing
First of all that's a soil problem that's not contractors fault. And that's typical with above ground pools since the water when splashed out goes to the side of pool.
kim fuller
*scared of pool*
Call Humpty trumpty so he can write an executive order telling the pool not to collapse!! Lol
Slow news day?
Saw some responses asking why don't they drain the pool. The short answer is the liner will shrink. Yes when dry they shrink. So the less time it takes tp level the pool and fix all the other problems the better. If they drain it and leave it set till repaired then they will have to replace the liner
this is action news?
The wall is buckled and it isn't even level. Very unacceptable installation whether it's safe or not. How can anyone be forced to pay for the installation and told they have to wait to have it fixed. The installers should be sued and be put out of business if they think that pool is acceptable work. I used to install above ground pools and we went through a lot of work so the ground and each support post was perfectly level all the way around. the walls were even and liner was smooth and free of any wrinkles. There were times we redone our own work because WE weren't satisfied before giving the customer the bill.
This is the whitest story I’ve ever heard in my life
Shes worried its gonna collapse, its unsafe but that wacko stands 4 inches behind it. I'm 100% sure she got a great deal. You got what you paid for.
First world problems
Better to have first world problems than third world problems lol
you should get arrested for above ground pools.
Slow news week huh?
Happened to me and my step brother when we were swimming, he was underwater, side of pool collapsed and we got sucked out into the yard in a huge wave of water, it was sick.
Don't do drugs. Please. Just don't, no matter what.
Oh wait this is about a pool? Okay...
Whats the matter, couldnt afford an in-ground pool?
dennyfrontier probably. Or she just didn't want to have to wait that long.
Yep! Installer needs to come back and fix it! Poor quality of work
The contractor did not level the pool site very well. He will have to level the ground first before setting it up. All he had to do was cut 2x6 and make a few support beams to support the walls against the ground in the meantime until the pool is reconstructed
Is there a follow up to this breaking news?
The water pressure is equal all around no matter if the pool is leaning or not.
I am an electrical contractor. I get calls all the time from people in dire straights after having work done by the lowest bidder. Don't know if that is the case here but a word of caution.
If you know it was built wrong why is there water in it making the damage worse
How did I get here 🤔smh I was watching how Kylie Jenner don’t know who the baby daddy is!😂
Is anyone else annoyed they didn't reveal the names of all the plumbers/companies, who correctly identified the problem and didn't try to pull a fast one on the customer. Integrity should be rewarded
Good use of resources ! Great job I needed to hear about this
Instructions say no more than 1 inch difference. 5 is way off.
