Swimming Pool Inspectors
Whether or not you have owned a home with a pool, it’s important to have your pool inspected by a licensed inspector. Just as your new perspective house undergoes a professional inspection before escrow closes, so too should your swimming pool.
A thorough pool inspection will assure you of several key issues, from the deck’s elevation to the functionality of the pool pump. Your mortgage company may require an inspection before funding the home purchase. However, the required inspection may be the home inspector, and therefore, that inspection may not be enough. Inground pools are complex and require a pool-industry professional that is specially trained in pool inspections.
A professional pool inspector will be able to tell you a lot about what’s going on with the pool. More than what a home inspector can tell you. Our swimming pool inspector will make an in-depth inspection of the following:
- Safety features that meet the local requirements
- Physical conditions of the pool
- Interior finish
- Tile
- Coping
- Decking
- Pool pump
- Filter
- Heater
- Pool with a spa
- Diving board or slide
- Pool fence
- Infrastructure
By hiring a trained professional, you will get a thorough pool inspection to make wise decisions. When buying your new home, you will be confident that the physical and technical components are in good shape.
