Frequently Asked Pool and Spa Inspections Questions
Is pool inspection worth the extra cost when buying a home?
Absolutely. Pool repairs can cost thousands of dollars. A $200-500
inspection can save you from expensive surprises and safety hazards.
What factors affect the price of pool inspection?
Pool
size, number of features (spa, waterfall, automation), condition, and
complexity of equipment. Larger pools with more features cost more to
inspect.
What exactly do you check during a pool and spa inspection?
Structure, equipment (pumps, filters, heaters), safety features, electrical
systems, plumbing, water quality, decking, and compliance with safety codes.
Should I get a pool inspection when buying a home with a pool?
Yes. You need to know about equipment condition, safety issues, and
potential repair costs before you buy.
Can I use inspection results to negotiate the home price?
Yes. Major equipment problems, safety violations, or structural issues can
be used to negotiate price reductions or repairs.
What pool problems would make me walk away from a purchase?
Major structural damage, significant electrical hazards, equipment that
needs complete replacement, or expensive code violations.
Do I need pool inspection if I'm selling my home?
It's
smart to do one. You can fix problems beforehand or price them into your
listing to avoid surprises during buyer inspections.
How do I know if my pool needs major repairs?
Cracks in the
structure, equipment that doesn't work properly, constant water loss, or
electrical problems are signs of major issues.
What are signs of structural problems in pools?
Visible
cracks, uneven settling, loose tiles, water loss, or separation between pool
and decking.
How long do pool equipment and surfaces typically last?
Pool pumps: 8-12 years. Heaters: 5-10 years. Pool surfaces: 10-25 years
depending on material. Salt systems: 3-7 years.
What maintenance issues should I prioritize?
Safety
equipment first, then water circulation systems, followed by
heating/chemical systems. Address leaks and electrical issues immediately.
Can you inspect pools and spas in winter when they're not running?
Yes, but it's better when equipment is operational. We can still check
structure, safety features, and visible equipment condition.
Do I need to have the pool running during inspection?
Preferably yes. We can better test pumps, heaters, and circulation when the
system is operating normally.
Do you check automation and smart pool systems?
Yes. We
test automated controls, timers, and smart systems to make sure they're
working properly and controlling equipment correctly.
How do you inspect pool lighting and electrical?
We check
all visible wiring, GFCI protection, light fixtures, and electrical panels.
We test lighting and verify proper electrical safety measures.
