When shopping for homes, you might consider the essentials, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage, but you may also consider the extra amenities that you want to have available, such as a swimming pool. With this in mind, it’s worth noting that it’s just as important to have the pool inspected as it is the rest of the property.
Here are a few things you should know about a pool inspection.
- Why is it important? A pool inspection is important because it can help you determine the functionality and safety of all the key components, including the pool deck, pump, etc. It’s also important to check the structural integrity of the pool because any leaks could potentially damage the rest of the property. Pool repairs and replacements can be expensive, so it’s important to know what you’re getting into if you buy the property with the pool on it.
- Not all home inspectors can perform pool inspections: It’s also important to know that not all home inspectors can perform a pool inspection. It requires a certain level of expertise to know what to look for. We at Rocking T Home Inspections have the necessary skills and expertise to thoroughly inspect the pool to identify any issues or potential concerns that you should know about the pool before purchasing the property.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions: Following a pool inspection or any inspection we provide, we always provide a full report of our findings that is complete with details and photos. We can discuss the report and address any questions or concerns you may have, so you can have complete confidence in your next steps.
