Pool / Spa Inspections
A swimming pool or spa can be a wonderful feature for homeowners, and it can add value to the home if it is well maintained.
However, swimming pools and spas can also present dangerous situations, such as:
old and dangerous drain covers
poor construction
worn tiles and sealant around the pool surface, tiles, coves, and decks
improper barrier safety (fencing, railings, gates, etc.)
improper water temperatures
electrical safety issues that could cause electrocution,
and many more potential issues.
If you’re buying a home with a pool or spa, an inspection is very important because a pool or spa in poor or unsafe condition can cost thousands of dollars to repair.

About 95% of the pools or spas we inspect have inadequate safety barriers. Safety barriers provide proper protection against access to the pool or spa from the house, neighboring fences, or the street. Comprehensive barrier construction can help prevent access that could lead to drowning risks.
