During a home inspection, we will typically check the condition and operation of the pool and its associated equipment. This may include:
- Checking the pool for visible signs of damage or leaks.
- Testing the pool’s pump, filter, and other equipment to ensure that it is functioning properly.
- Checking the pool’s plumbing and electrical systems to ensure that they are properly installed and functioning safely.
- Inspecting the pool’s decking and surrounding area for signs of damage or potential safety hazards.
- Checking the pool’s heating system, if applicable, to ensure that it is functioning properly.
- Testing the pool’s water quality and chemical balance to ensure that it is safe for use.
- Inspecting the pool’s safety features, such as fencing, gates, and pool covers, to ensure that they are in good condition and functioning properly.
The specific items that are included in a pool inspection may vary depending on the age and condition of the pool and its equipment, as well as the requirements of the home inspector and the buyer.
