A structure failure is what happens when a structure fails or falls down and collapses. There are many factors that would cause a structure failure, such as a hurricane, tornado, or a bomb detonated near the structure.

How do you get homeowners insurance to pay for in ground pool structural repair?

They would pay for it only if it has been added to the policy (or if it was part of the home when insured) AND only if the damage was caused by some unforseen circumstance. IT probably would not be covered for a structural failure, an earthquake, etc. But if a bulldozer fell into it , that may be covered.
