THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING A PROFESSIONAL POOL INSPECTION

Are you considering the purchase of a home with a pool? If so there are some important things to consider. A swimming pool can be a wonderful asset to a home where many great family memories will be made.  Pools can also be a very expensive headache if they aren’t maintained properly.  Swimming pools are comprised of complex equipment that varies from pool to pool.  Even if you have had a pool before, you should still have a professional pool inspection to be sure that gorgeous back yard pool isn’t hiding something.

Most buyers hire a home inspector prior to purchasing a home to do a general inspection of the home in order to find out if the home has any serious deficiencies. Many are unaware that ASHI Standards of Practice (SOP) allow home inspectors to disclaim pool inspections. There is a huge debate as to whether they should inspect them or simply disclaim them, as they themselves recognize there are many hidden problems they are not equipped to recognize in a simple visual inspection.

Professional swimming pool inspections should be conducted by qualified professionals in the industry, who is familiar with each aspect of the pool and understands the potential problems. The inspections should include the interior surface of the pool, the decking, the electrical system, the filters, heaters, pumps, and the plumbing. They need to be inspected comprehensively for functionality, soundness and safety.

If you are considering purchasing a home with a pool, call The Pool Doctor for a professional pool inspection. Our inspectors have experience in all types of swimming pool construction and maintenance found in Southern Indiana.  Our Pool Inspections Reports include a report of findings, (not just a checklist) a photo addendum (of the overall pool and the detailed photos of the problems found) and the estimated cost of any required repairs. (Allowing you to negotiate your purchase).  The inspection report will be completed with-in 24 hours of the inspection and emailed to all parties involved, so you can make your buying decision in a timely fashion.  We work with both individuals and realtors associated with the National Association of Realtors.  A pool inspection can save you hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars more than the cost of the inspection.
