Frequently asked questions about Pool and Spa Inspections

  • Do I need a pool inspection?

    • Just like a home inspection, a pool inspection is up to the discretion of the buyer. A swimming pool can represent significant repair cost and safety risk which is better to learn about during the purchase of a home.

    • Some of our clients just want to know the general condition of the pool and it's systems and how it all works.

     

  • Should I get a pool contractor to inspect my pool?

    • You can. Some pool contractors provide inspections but they typically don't follow an industry inspection standard or protocol such as ASHI pool inspections standards of practice.

    • Most contractors only inspect the circulation systems, filtration and the pool container.

    • Contractors don't inspect barrier safety, electrical systems and bonding.

    • Pool contractors are experts in new pool installations and maintenance, particularly the types they sell, whereas our inspectors are trained in all the systems of all types of pools from any era.

     

  • Is a pool inspection required by law or the banks during a home purchase?

    • NO. not in Virginia. A pool is not part of the Real Property and doesn't have much influence on the property value. There are no state mandated inspections required when transferi8ng property ownership.

    • Some homeowners insurance companies want to know pool conditions due to the higher potential for liability and potential repair cost.

     

  • Do you do leak detection

    • NO. Pool inspection are visual inspection of the pool systems and testing of equipment only. Leak detection is a fairly exhaustive process which is beyond the scope of a standard inspection.

    •  If during the inspection we detect or see evidence of a leak we will defer to a leak detection company who specializes in these type of diagnosis and repair..
