Pool Inspection

Before you can dive into purchasing a house with a pool, you should have the pool inspected. Whether or not you have previously owned a property with a pool or a spa, it is important to arrange for a full evaluation of the condition of your future pool just like a house undergoes a professional home inspection prior to closing. This inspection is a separate expense but having peace of mind makes that expense worth it. The last thing a homeowner wants is huge expenses after buying a new home.

 

A thorough pool inspection will go over the major pool systems and components such as:

• Visible plumbing systems

• Visible electrical and grounding systems

• Spas

• Filtration systems

• Pool heater, pump, motor, and valves

• Pool skimmers, drain covers, lights, steps, handrails, and ladders

• Rescue equipment

• Permanent accessories

• Physical condition of the pool structure, interior, and materials (surface, wall, tile, liner, floor)

• Operational Conditions

• Safety barriers, fences, and decking

• Screen enclosure and doors

​

The inspector will include all details and findings along with the home inspection report. That way, you will know what is in need of repairs or replacement prior to closing.
