Ensure Your Pool or Spa Is Safe and Operating Properly

A pool and spa inspection evaluates the visible condition and basic operation of the pool, spa, and related equipment. In Florida, pools are common—but hidden defects, safety hazards, and failing components can lead to costly repairs or potential risks if not properly identified.

What Is a Pool & Spa Inspection?

This inspection focuses on the readily accessible and visible components of the pool and spa system. It includes a review of structural elements, equipment, and safety features to help identify deficiencies that may impact performance or safety.

What We Inspect

Pool and spa structure (visible surfaces, cracks, deterioration)
Decking, coping, and surrounding areas
Pumps, filters, and heaters (basic operation)
Visible plumbing and connections
Pool and spa lighting (functional check)
Safety features such as barriers and covers (where present)
Electrical bonding and grounding (visual inspection only)

Why a Pool & Spa Inspection Matters

Pool and spa systems can involve complex equipment and safety considerations. Issues are not always obvious and may require significant expense to repair.

Common concerns include:

Equipment failure (pump, heater, filter)
Leaks or structural cracking
Improper or missing safety features
Electrical concerns related to bonding and grounding

Identifying these conditions prior to purchase helps reduce unexpected costs and safety risks.

When Should You Get a Pool & Spa Inspection?

When purchasing a home with a pool or spa
If the system appears older or has not been regularly maintained
When visible damage or operational concerns are present
As part of a general home inspection for added peace of mind

How the Inspection Works

The pool and spa are visually inspected, and accessible equipment is operated using normal controls where possible. Observations are documented and included in your inspection report.

Important Limitations

This inspection is non-invasive and limited to visible and accessible components at the time of inspection.

It does not include:

Leak detection testing
Dismantling of equipment
Water quality analysis
Code compliance evaluation
