When a “Home Inspector” just isn't enough!
Though a home inspection professional may “train-up” and offer basic pool inspections, lack of extensive professional pool experience will limit his/her scope to the general appearance of the pool finish and the condition of the equipment. When substantial sums are involved, however, i.e. recommending a new pool finish ($3,000 & up) or new equipment ($1,000 & up for a new pump & filter), the more experience the pool inspector has the better council you will receive. Remember that errant repair/renovation recommendations can sometimes be deal breakers. Also, another potential liability, expensive under-deck plumbing leaks are not adequately tested-for by home inspectors—nobody wants a costly oversight.
What does an experienced Pool Inspector bring to the table?
Our 47+ years combined experience in pool building & service ensures that a pool’s every construction and maintenance detail will be expertly factored into the final evaluation. Not only, for instance, do we assess the condition of the pool’s finish, we will explain: why the finish looks the way it does (i.e. due to age, poor chemistry, maintenance etc.); what its anticipated life expectancy should be; and, what remedies if any are needed. Sometimes, for instance, an acid wash, an underwater pressure wash, or an in-water stain treatment can improve a pool’s appearance beyond the need for refinishing—something only a pool expert could ascertain.
