Pool & Spa Inspections
To Swim or Not to Swim!
It's always nice to have a pool or spa in the equation when considering any home or multi-unit home, but only if they are safe and properly maintained. Let us provide you with a comprehensive pool and spa inspection to help insure your investment is structurally and mechanical sound.
​
Pool & Spa Inspections:
Everyone always loves a dip in the pool, however having a pool can be very costly to maintain, and they can be quite expensive to repair. It makes great sense to invest in a pool & spa inspection.
Our inspection will check any moving parts, seals, and other items that need repair over time.
Common problems that are costly to repair:
​
-
Main Pool Structure - Ground or soil settling beneath the pool, cracked leaky walls, old pool linings, and surfacing in need of repair. Resurfacing or structure repair of a pool can cost thousands.
-
Equipment - Equipment failures can happen with the heater, filter, pump, and motor.
-
Plumbing Leaks - Water from the pool is continually pumped through a piping system and work in conjunction with the filter, heater, and other components. Over time all plumbing systems are prone to leaking.
-
Inspect Your Pool for Safety - Liability is everything these days. That being said safety is key! Our inspection focuses on the following safety concerns: ​Barrier (fencing) and gates, Electrical systems, including GFCI, Lights, Steps, ladders, and railings.

Preparing for the Inspection
As the seller, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the inspection. Being prepared will help the inspection go smoothly and increase your home's appeal to potential buyers.

Brush and Other Exterior Obstructions
Make sure that all pathways are clear and free of any overgrowth or dead branches. All lawn equipment and recreational items put away.

Cleanup
Show it off well! It's important that your house is as clean as possible. Not only does this increase how your home shows, but it also helps the inspector by having a clean environment that is more accessible to preform an inspection.

House Number
It is always helpful to make sure the house number is visible from the street. As your home will have more traffic during the inspection and sale process you will want to make sure they can find it without any trouble.

Utilities are Connected
Utilities need to be connected so the inspector can test things like water flow, electrical outlets, water heaters, furnace, air conditioning, and so on. Without the utilities connected, the home inspector will have no choice but to either reschedule or suggest inspection by a specialist.

Appliances are Connected and Working
Appliances that are not connected to water, power, oil, or gas cannot be turned on by the home inspector. All appliances should be working properly, and unusable or not in use appliances should be removed.

Put Animals Away
While we love animals some can become a distraction for the inspector. Make sure to be cognizant of animals that are not friendly with strangers.
