No.
If your house been built fairly recently, then the contractor who built your house may be lible for damages. If he is a licensed contractor, then he will (should!) be bonded, which should cover the damages.

Does homeowners insurance coverage damage to swimming pool liner from the chemicals added?
No. This sounds like a manufacturer or maintenance issue. Something is wrong with the pool itself or with the way it was installed as the earth behind pool walls has washed away making it loose support and fail. For a homeowners policy to pay for damages the damage must be the fault of a covered cause. I can't see how the damage you are describing could be from a coverer cause. Homeowners insurance is not made to cover maintenance issues or manufacturer defects. First I would contact whoever installed the pool. If it has been past the warranty period I would check with a professional to see what the cause of the damage is first.

Does insurance cover defective fill in the chimney?
No, your homeowners insurance provides coverage for certain unexpected losses, such as wind, hail, fire lightning etc, but it does not provide warranty coverage for the work of a builder or contractor. That is covered under the home warranty you would have been offered when you purchased the home. Think of it in the same terms as an Auto Insurance Policy. Your auto insurance will cover damage from an accidental loss but it does not provide nor warranty for defects in the manufacture of that vehicle. It's pretty much the same with house insurance, the company will cover certain damages to your home as outlined in your policy, but a home insurance policy does not warrant any thing that occurred before you bought the property including it's method of construcion, it will not pay for poor workmanship on the part of the builder.
