Purpose
The inspection is intended to document visible pool condition, accessible equipment observations, operation concerns, and safety observations for a real estate transaction or owner review.
Scope
The inspection may include visible pool surfaces, coping, tile, decking, ladders, rails, skimmers, returns, pump, motor, filter, pressure gauge, heater or heat pump when present, controls, valves, visible plumbing, lights when safely operable, barriers, gates, and observable safety concerns.
Limits
The inspection is visual and non-invasive. It does not include draining the pool, entering the water, disassembling equipment, opening concealed areas, underground leak detection, engineering analysis, code certification, or warranty of future performance.
Access and operation
Closed, winterized, unsafe, shut down, inaccessible, or non-operating systems limit what can be inspected. Limitations will be documented in the report.
Report use
The report reflects visible and safely accessible conditions observed at the time of inspection. Conditions can change after the inspection. The report is not a repair bid, warranty, guarantee, or substitute for a qualified contractor evaluation where repairs are recommended.
Fee
The standard full pool inspection fee is $400 unless a different fee is agreed in writing before the inspection.
