Xtreme Pool Builders, LLC Enters Bankruptcy
Case records, as available on the PACER database, show that the company submitted its petition on August 6, 2026. The records identify Xtreme Pool Builders, LLC as a small business debtor.
The recent bankruptcy comes as the U.S. market for new swimming pool construction has slowed after a good run during the pandemic. According to Pool Magazine, new in-ground pool construction dropped by roughly 50% from its best figures in 2021. Around 60,000 new pools were built in 2025. Higher interest rates and rising construction costs have contributed to weaker demand for new pool installations.
The data adds that the overall U.S. pool, hot tub, and spa industry is valued at about $62 billion. However, much of its revenue comes from repair and maintenance services rather than new pool construction.
