Pool Inspections

Who Needs a Pool Inspection

A professional pool inspection provides valuable information for several situations. Home buyers benefit from understanding exactly what they are purchasing and what costs may be coming. Home sellers can identify and address issues before they become negotiation points. Current pool owners gain a clear picture of their equipment’s condition and remaining useful life. And property managers and HOAs need objective assessments for budgeting and capital planning purposes.

What We Inspect

Our pool inspections are thorough evaluations covering every major system and component. We examine the pool structure including the shell, surface finish, tile, coping, and decking for cracks, settling, staining, or deterioration. We evaluate all equipment including the pump, motor, filter, heater, salt system, automation, and plumbing for condition, age, and remaining useful life. We inspect the plumbing system for visible leaks, condition of exposed pipes, and proper operation of valves and returns. We check safety features including fencing, gates, drain covers, and electrical grounding. And we test the water quality to assess current chemistry and identify any issues.

The Value of a Pre-Purchase Pool Inspection

General home inspectors are not pool specialists. They may note that a pool exists and appears to function, but they typically cannot assess the true condition of pool equipment, identify developing problems, or estimate remaining useful life of components. A professional pool inspection fills that gap. We regularly uncover issues that are not visible to untrained eyes, including aging equipment that may need replacement within a year or two, developing leaks, undersized or failing filtration, non-compliant safety features, and deferred maintenance that will become expensive if not addressed.

What You Receive

Every inspection includes a detailed written report with photographs documenting the condition of all inspected components, an in-person or phone consultation to walk through findings, and an objective, honest assessment with no pressure to sell you services. We provide estimated repair or replacement costs where applicable so you have actionable information for decision-making.

Inspection Limitations

A pool inspection is a visual and operational evaluation performed at a single point in time. We do not perform destructive testing, and some conditions such as underground plumbing leaks or structural issues beneath the surface may not be detectable during a standard inspection. We will clearly note any areas where further investigation may be warranted.
