What Our Chattanooga Pool Inspection Covers
Our comprehensive pool inspections meticulously evaluate all critical components. We aim to provide a complete picture of your pool's health and operational status.
- Structural Integrity: We examine the pool shell, coping, and deck for cracks, settling, or signs of water penetration. This includes the bond beam, which is the structural ring around the top of the pool.
- Equipment Diagnostics: All major pool equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, and automatic cleaners, are thoroughly tested for proper function and efficiency. We check for wear and tear, noise levels, and correct installation.
- Leak Testing: We perform hydraulic integrity tests to identify any active leaks in the plumbing system, skimmer, or main drain. A common issue is a leaking skimmer, the opening in the pool wall that collects surface debris.
- Safety Compliance: We verify that all safety features, such as fencing, gates, alarms, and emergency shut-offs, meet current local codes and standards. This also includes checking Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets near the pool for proper operation, which are designed to prevent electrical shock.
- Electrical Systems: Inspection of wiring, lighting, and grounding to ensure safe operation. We also assess the electrical bonding of the pool, which helps prevent electrical hazards.
- Plumbing and Valves: We check for proper water flow, valve operation, and any signs of corrosion or leaks in the plumbing lines. Pressure testing is often used to confirm the integrity of these lines.
- Surface Condition: Assessment of plaster, tile, vinyl liner, or fiberglass finish for wear, staining, or damage.
- Water Chemistry (Basic): A basic check of water balance and chemical levels, identifying potential long-term issues from improper chemistry.
