You will want to cover all the bases when buying your next home, especially if the home has a pool. A pool inspection will give you peace of mind.
A swimming pool can be a great asset to a home and will be a place where your family and friends make lasting memories. If you do not have a proper pool inspection, that dream of owning the house with a pool can turn into a nightmare. If you are not a swimming pool expert, you will want to hire a certified pool inspector that has years of experience with a variety of pools and who is familiar with the problems that can arise with the years.
Do NOT rely on Home Inspector, get a pool inspection
Many people who are purchasing a home with a pool think the home inspection will cover the pool, it rarely does. In fact, many home inspection reports will include a disclaimer releasing them from any missed problems with the inspection of a pool.
Also, it is very unlikely the home inspector will have the expertise to evaluate a pool thoroughly. You would be putting yourself at great risk for the inspector missing a costly problem with the pool.
Pool Equipment is Complex
A pool has a large number of moving and nonmoving parts. Besides the actual pool itself, which should be solid and free of any leaks; the filters, pumps and heaters (if present) need to be inspected for function.
The surfaces around the pool including concrete, pavers or decking needs to be evaluated for safety and condition.
Hiring an experienced pool inspector is crucial, especially if you are concerned about the pool having leaks. If the inspector finds that the pool is leaking, you should get the additional leak detection service. This service will increase the cost of inspection because it is time consuming and requires different sets of tests and specialized equipment. However, it is well worth it, since you will know exactly what type of problem the pool has and how much it will cost to repair.
