Pool Inspection Services
Comprehensive pool inspections for home buyers, sellers, and homeowners who want to know their pool's true condition in Duncanville, TX.
Why Professional Pool Inspections Matter
Pools involve complex equipment, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural components that can hide expensive problems. What looks like a beautiful pool on the surface might have serious issues underneath that cost thousands to repair. That's where professional inspection protects you.
Most home inspectors don't have specialized pool knowledge. They might note that a pool exists but won't catch equipment problems, plumbing leaks, or structural issues that pool professionals identify immediately. We've seen buyers inherit broken heaters, cracked pipes, failing pumps, and deteriorating surfaces because general inspectors missed the warning signs.
Whether you're buying a home with a pool, selling and want to address problems first, or simply want to understand your current pool's condition, professional inspection gives you facts and realistic cost estimates. Knowledge protects you from surprises and helps you make informed decisions. Our experienced pool service team has inspected hundreds of Duncanville pools and knows exactly what to look for.
What Our Inspection Covers
Our comprehensive pool inspection examines every major system and component. We document current condition, identify problems, estimate remaining lifespan for equipment, and provide repair cost estimates when issues exist.
Complete Inspection Checklist
- Pool structure and surfaces: We inspect for cracks, deterioration, loose tiles, damaged coping, and structural issues. We check for signs of leaks, settling, or damage that compromises the pool shell integrity.
- Pumps and motors: We test operation, listen for unusual noises, check for leaks, inspect seals and gaskets, verify proper amperage draw, and assess overall condition and remaining lifespan.
- Filters: We examine filter condition, check pressure readings, inspect housings for cracks, look inside cartridge and DE filters, assess sand filter media age, and evaluate whether cleaning or replacement is needed.
- Heaters: We test ignition and heating capacity, check for corrosion and deterioration, inspect heat exchangers for leaks, verify proper venting, test safety controls, and evaluate remaining useful life.
- Automation and controls: We test timers, automation systems, remote controls, valve actuators, and all control interfaces. We verify proper programming and operation.
- Plumbing system: We check all visible plumbing for leaks, proper installation, adequate support, and signs of deterioration. We test valves for proper operation and sealing.
- Electrical components: We inspect all electrical connections, test GFCI protection, verify proper bonding and grounding, check light fixtures, and ensure code compliance for safety.
- Water features: We test waterfalls, fountains, bubblers, deck jets, and any other water features for proper operation and potential problems.
- Automatic cleaners: We test operation of suction-side, pressure-side, or robotic cleaners. We check for worn parts and assess whether replacement is economical.
- Salt systems and chlorinators: We inspect salt cells for scaling and deterioration, test control boards, verify proper output, and assess remaining cell life.
- Safety equipment: We verify presence and condition of required safety equipment like pool fencing, self-closing gates, alarms, and compliant drain covers.
- Water chemistry: We perform complete water testing and evaluate current balance. We identify any underlying chemistry problems that might indicate equipment or maintenance issues.
If we identify problems during inspection, we can often provide immediate estimates for repairs or connect you with appropriate specialists for structural issues beyond our scope. Many customers who purchase homes based on our inspections then become regular weekly service customers because they trust our expertise and honesty.
Types of Pool Inspections We Provide
We tailor inspection services to your specific situation and needs. Different circumstances require different levels of detail and documentation.
Pre-purchase inspection: You're buying a home with a pool and want to know exactly what you're getting. We provide detailed written reports with photos documenting condition, identifying all problems, estimating repair costs, and flagging safety concerns. This inspection helps you negotiate price adjustments or request repairs before closing. Budget 2 to 3 hours for thorough examination.
Pre-sale inspection: You're selling and want to address pool problems before listing, or need documentation of pool condition for disclosure. We identify issues you should fix for better showing and help you avoid surprises during buyer inspections. Many sellers use our reports to demonstrate proper maintenance and honest disclosure.
General condition assessment: You own your pool but haven't had professional service in a while. You want to know what condition everything is in and what maintenance or repairs might be needed soon. This helps you budget for upcoming work and prioritize issues by importance. We provide straightforward assessment without sales pressure.
Equipment evaluation: You have specific concerns about your pump, heater, filter, or other equipment. We focus on detailed assessment of particular components including remaining lifespan, repair versus replacement recommendations, and cost estimates for various options.
Leak detection: Your water level drops consistently, suggesting a leak somewhere in the pool or plumbing system. While we don't provide specialized leak detection services, our inspection can often identify obvious leaks and recommend appropriate leak detection specialists if needed. We can then handle leak repairs once the location is confirmed.
Detailed Written Reports
Every inspection includes a comprehensive written report delivered within 24 to 48 hours after our visit. We know you need information quickly, especially if you're in the middle of a real estate transaction.
Our reports include detailed descriptions of all systems and components we examined, photos documenting current condition and any problems found, clear identification of safety concerns that need immediate attention, prioritized list of recommended repairs or replacements, realistic cost estimates for addressing identified issues, and assessment of overall pool condition and maintenance quality.
We write reports in plain English without technical jargon. You'll understand what we found and why it matters without needing a degree in pool engineering. We're available by phone to discuss findings and answer questions after you review the report.
For real estate transactions, our reports provide documentation you can share with agents, sellers, buyers, or lenders. They give everyone involved clear information about pool condition and help facilitate fair negotiations based on facts rather than guesswork.
