Pool Inspections

A Pool Inspection Includes

Basic Measurements and Materials

Your pool inspector will start with the basics by checking the:

• Pool size
• Pool depth
• Type of pool materials used in construction (poured cement, fiberglass, or vinyl

Exterior Inspection

The pool inspector will then make sure that:

• There are no cracks in the surface
• Railings, ladders, and diving boards 
• Filter casings are working and properly installed

Water Level Inspection

Water levels are also tested, and the pool inspector will make sure your pool has proper levels of: 

• Chlorine
• Calcium
• pH
• Alkalinity



Monitoring these levels is important, so the water doesn’t put anyone in danger or harm the pool equipment.

Pool Equipment Check

If there's a problem with the filter or water pressure, we will recommend an additional round of tests by a leak detection specialist. 

During the pool equipment check, the inspector will make sure:

• The main drain is up to code 
• All motors and pumps are working 
• The timer system is properly wired and in good condition
• The heater and light fixtures are free of condensation 
• The wires are properly grounded
• Proper safety controls and GFIs are in place
• All electrical codes have been followed

What Does a Pool Inspector Do?

We will help identify potential hazards and necessary repairs, and advise you of options to rectify any problems. Afterward, the inspector will give you a full written report, usually within a day or two of the inspection, or send a copy via email. 

The inspection report will include include:

• Detailed feedback on each pool component and a rating of its condition
• Problem areas that need to be repaired 
• Information about the equipment and when it may need to be replaced

Pool Size 

Many inspectors will base the rate of their inspection on the size by square foot and depth of your pool. Basically, the bigger and deeper the pool, the higher the cost will be. 

Pool Equipment

 If your pool comes equipped with special features like a hot tub, diving board, slide, or waterfall, there is more for the inspector to check and, therefore, a higher inspection price tag.
