Swimming Pool Inspection

A professional swimming pool inspection provides an in-depth visual and operational evaluation of a pool's structural components, mechanical equipment, and safety compliance. This process is highly recommended for home buyers purchasing a property with an existing pool, as standard home inspections rarely include comprehensive pool evaluations.

What is Included in a Pool Inspection"A certified technician typically evaluates the following critical areas:

Structural Elements & Surroundings

• Interior Lining: Checking for tears or fading in vinyl liners, or cracks and plaster deterioration in concrete pools.

• Coping & Decking: Assessing the pool edge and surrounding deck for shift, decay, or tripping hazards.

• Shell Integrity: Inspecting accessible areas for structural settling or water loss.

Mechanical & Plumbing Systems

• Equipment Function: Testing the operational state of pumps, filtration tanks, heaters, and chlorinators.

• Plumbing Lines: Reviewing return jets, skimmer baskets, and checking above-ground pipes for cracks or calcification.

• Pressure Testing: Optional advanced line checks to rule out hidden underground plumbing leaks.

Safety Compliance

• Enclosure Barriers: Confirming that peripheral perimeter fences meet local height and clearance bylaws.

• Gates: Verifying that gates are completely self-closing and self-latching.

• Hardware & Electrical: Checking that main drain grates are secure, ladders are anchored, and electrical systems have functional GFCI protection
