Dorchester County Pool Inspection 

If your ideal home is one with a swimming pool, you aren’t alone! A backyard pool is a great selling feature but it’s important not to get lost in the fantasy. Before you sign on the dotted line it’s important to make sure that a swimming pool is functional and in good condition. Puddle Pool Services provides Dorchester County pool inspections for homes and commercial properties that focus on condition. 

A swimming pool inspection isn’t just for home buyers; it’s for sellers and current owners, too. If you are firing up a pool system after long periods of disuse, are taking over an existing swim space, or your pool is acting up, don’t hesitate to book a pool inspection. 

What is a Level 1 Pool Inspection Service 

It’s common to schedule a professional pool inspection to obtain building permits, as part of a home inspection or, for additional insurance coverage. These inspections can be geared toward structural integrity, or reviewing plumbing and electrical systems. These types of assessments don’t often consider whether or not water systems are functional and that is where Puddle comes in! 

Puddle pool inspectors will inspect your pool, looking for existing issues and signs of prospective ones. Swimming pools are more complicated than meets the eye. Even if things look great on the surface, problems may lurk just below the surface. Instead of assuming that everything is fine, Puddle technicians inspect swim spaces on multiple levels with visual inspections, system testing and assessments of surrounding areas. 

Surface Inspections: The most common pools in Dorchester County are in-ground pools made of concrete and above-ground pools with metal framing. Both of these are subject to physical damage. Puddle technicians will review metal framing for signs of rust and corrosion. Concrete pools are subject to slab cracks, damage from roots and soil erosion, missing tiles, and torn liners. 

System Testing: Swimming pools are made up of a series of systems that keep them running. It’s easy to forget about pumps and plumbing lines but, without these, you are left with a swamp. Puddle technicians perform testing of these systems and the pool equipment that keeps your water circulating, as well as heaters. 

Surrounding Areas: A pool and spa inspection doesn’t stop at structures. The area around a pool will play a major role in its overall condition. If a pool deck is rotting or falling apart, it opens the door to sharp debris landing in pools and tearing liners. It’s also a good idea to inspect pool accessories like slides, diving boards, safety ladders, and railings. If fixtures are loose or rusted it can result in serious injury to anyone using them.

From the seller’s perspective, you want to provide peace of mind to buyers and an inspection does just that, plus it can expedite the sale process!
