Pool Inspection Services

Why You Need a Pool Inspection

Pools are expensive. Repairing or replacing pool equipment costs thousands of dollars. That is why you need to know exactly what condition your pool is in before buying a home, selling your property, or planning major repairs. A professional pool inspection gives you a clear picture of what works, what needs attention, and what might fail soon.

Home inspectors usually do not have the expertise to thoroughly evaluate pool systems. They might check if the pump turns on, but they will not catch hidden leaks, aging equipment, or chemical imbalances. Our pool inspections go deeper. We check every component of your pool system and give you a detailed report with photos and recommendations. If you are buying a home in Compton with a pool, this inspection can save you from costly surprises after closing.

What Our Inspection Covers

Our comprehensive pool inspection examines every part of your pool and equipment. Here is what we check:

• •Pool structure: Inspect for cracks, leaks, surface deterioration, and tile damage
• •Equipment condition: Test pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems for proper operation and estimated remaining life
• •Plumbing system: Check for leaks, pressure issues, valve function, and skimmer performance
• •Electrical systems: Verify proper grounding, bonding, GFCI protection, and timer function
• •Water chemistry: Test pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabilizer levels
• •Safety features: Check fencing, gates, pool covers, and drain covers for code compliance
• •Deck and coping: Inspect for cracks, trip hazards, and drainage issues
• •Additional features: Evaluate spa jets, waterfalls, lighting, and automatic cleaners if present

After the inspection, we provide a written report with photos documenting any issues we found. We also give you estimated repair costs and priority recommendations. This report is yours to keep, share with your realtor, or use for negotiating repairs with the seller.

When to Get an Inspection

Before Buying a Home

If you are buying a home with a pool, get an inspection during your due diligence period. You do not want to find out after closing that the heater is broken or the pool has a major leak. An inspection gives you negotiating power. You can ask the seller to make repairs or reduce the price to cover the costs.

Before Selling Your Home

Sellers benefit from inspections too. Getting your pool inspected before listing gives you time to fix problems proactively. Buyers feel more confident when they see a recent inspection report showing your pool is in good condition. It can also help your home sell faster and for a higher price.

For Annual Maintenance Planning

Even if you are not buying or selling, an annual inspection helps you stay ahead of problems. We can identify equipment that is nearing the end of its life, catch small leaks before they become big problems, and recommend upgrades that improve efficiency. Many Compton homeowners schedule an inspection every few years as part of their pool maintenance routine. If the inspection reveals needed repairs, we can handle those too with our equipment repair services.
