POOL INSPECTIONS

HOME POOL INSPECTIONS

Before buying a home, it is imperative that you have the swimming pool inspected by a professional. We have found that many home inspectors are not swimming pool experts and do not always provide the insight needed, leading to potentially costly repairs

614 Pools strives to provide quick and thorough 15-point pool inspections to share a full report on the condition of the swimming pool, equipment and accessories. Every inspection includes estimates for repairs and potential future repairs.

Before buying a property with a pool, you should always have a pool inspection prior to the closing of the sale! Inspections are typically performed within 1-2 business days; rush services are available! 

The following is a list of major items that are thoroughly evaluated through our inspection process, along with the rough ballpark replacement cost.

WHAT MOST HOME INSPECTORS CAN’T TELL YOU ABOUT SWIMMING POOLS

  • Pool Equipment Condition and Functionality
  • Potential Short Term Issues
  • Potential Long Term Issues and Safety Concerns
  • Accurate Estimates and Timeframe for Repairs

WHAT A 614 POOLS INSPECTION WILL TELL YOU

  • Quality of pool deck, walls, and functional parts on the pool itself; such as the plumbing, skimmers, returns, and main drains.
  • Condition of the pump, heater, filter and additional equipment on site.
  • Auxilliary equipment such as pool lights, auto valves, automation systems, ladders, handrails, and covers.
  • Water Chemistry
  • Estimated cost to fix, replace, and/or restore equipment or structure.

WHY YOU SHOULD STILL INSPECT A CLOSED POOL

  • Test water chemistry
  • Quality of the winter cover
  • Structural Damage
  • Physical damage to equipment and parts
  • Electrical issues
  • Major issues relating to the physical structure of the pool and equipment.
  • Cost to repair observable damage

Many issues can still be identified when the pool is not operational.  While some issues cannot be checked, the majority can be inspected.
