    When to Book Pool Inspections in Hamilton

    When purchasing a new home, a swimming pool is an attractive selling feature. It is easy to look out on an attractive swim space and lounge area and imagine summer parties and morning laps but before you get caught up in the idea, it is important to make sure water systems are working! As a buyer or seller, there is nothing worse than finalizing a sale only to find out that swimming pools are in bad condition or are not functioning like they should be. Instead of taking a risk, call a Puddle Pro. Hamilton pool inspection services dig deep into swim spaces to assess internal water systems, as well as the liners and surrounding areas.

    Professional pool inspections are a good idea whenever a property changes hands but they are also important if you begin to notice issues with your swim space. For example, if you are noticing that water levels are dropping rapidly and without reason, having an expert inspect your pool can help to organize leak detection and repairs. Instead of focusing on water alone, swimming pool inspections consider basins, vinyl liners, pool equipment, internal systems, return lines and surrounding areas.

    What a Pool Inspection Can Do For You

    Whenever you are buying a new home, getting a home inspection is a no-brainer but when purchasing a home with a pool, these areas are not often assessed. The average home inspector does not have experience in dealing with a pool, spas or hot tubs. A pool inspector, on the other hand only has experience with swim spaces!

    Puddle technicians provide level I pool inspections that focus on condition and functionality. Unlike other types of pool inspections, level I inspections do not come with a written report and cannot be used for the purposes of insurance or permitting. The goal of these assessments is to identify problem areas or safety issues, ensure that systems are in good, working order and to assess whether or not there are costly repairs on the horizon.

    When selling a home, owners want to be sure that they are representing their listings truthfully and a professional pool inspection can help! Don’t just assume that your swimming pool is in good condition, let our trained and experienced technicians confirm it for you! If you are considering buying a home with a pool, you want to make sure that you are making a sound investment. Level I pool inspections do not come with a written report.

    After years of industry experience, Puddle technicians understand the common weak points of water systems and they know just what to look for. A trained eye can spot existing issues, as well as potential ones to prevent disasters.

    Each member of the Puddle team is local to the Hamilton area, so we know exactly what your water systems are up against. Highly trained and experienced Puddle pros are also fully insured to provide additional peace of mind.

    Hamilton Pool Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the pool fence rules in Hamilton?

    Hamilton's Swimming Pool Enclosure By-law No. 16-184 (amended by By-law No. 22-059) covers any outdoor private pool able to hold more than 0.6 m of water, including hot tubs and landscape ponds; the enclosure needs a building permit. It must be at least 1.5 m high, pass no 100 mm sphere and stand at least 1.0 m from the inside pool wall. Gates need a self closing device plus a self latching device at least 1.35 m up on the inside. Water may not go in until the enclosure has final City approval, so confirm details with the City.

    Do hot tubs and above ground pools need a fence in Hamilton?

    Under By-law No. 16-184, a hot tub is exempt if it has a rigid cover that can hold 90 kg (or meets current ASTM hot tub standards) and is locked when not in use. An above ground pool's walls plus guard must total at least 1.5 m and not be climbable. Check with the City that your setup qualifies.

    Which Hamilton neighborhoods do you cover?

    We look after pools across Hamilton, including Ancaster & Dundas, Hamilton Mountain, Downtown Hamilton, Stoney Creek & Winona, Waterdown & Flamborough and Binbrook & Mount Hope. The full list of areas is on our Hamilton page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.

    Will an inspection find leaks?

    An inspection includes checks for signs of leaks, such as water loss, wet areas and equipment issues. If a leak is suspected, dedicated leak detection testing confirms it and pinpoints the source.

    When should I get a pool inspection?

    The most common times are when buying a home with a pool, when selling one and when something seems wrong with the pool or its equipment. A buyer learns what they are taking on, a seller can deal with issues before they become negotiating points and an owner can catch small problems before they turn into replacements.

    Bri and her team have been taking care of our hot tub for years now. They are absolutely the best! Communicating with Bri is very easy and she responds immediately. She always tells me of any changes to their schedule and are always on time. She has also repeatedly tried to teach me how to balance our tub myself but unfortunately I’m hopeless. I highly recommend this team for you pool and hot tub needs.

    This is our first year using this pool service and it was outstanding. Our technician was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and their service was far more superior than our other provider. Our services included biweekly maintenance and pool closing. Can’t wait for next year to schedule pool opening. Well Done!!!!!

    Bree ★★★★★

    TJ and Bri were awesome! We reached out asking about a new heater and TJ responded right away with options. He was knowledgeable and on time when they came to hook up the new heater. They also scrapped our old one for us. Great experience and would use them again for any pool needs.

    Mary Burrows ★★★★★

    Started using Puddle Pools last year and they are very professional, always on time and their team is great. Not just for opening or closing but also repairs. Highly recommend!

    Lindsay Schenk ★★★★★

    We recently hired Puddles Pool Services to complete a pool inspection for our buyers during a real estate transaction, and they were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Despite a very tight timeline, TJ and Mark were able to accommodate our request and fit us into their schedule, which was greatly appreciated. They arrived on time, were professional and efficient, and conducted a thorough inspection of the pool and equipment. Their communication was excellent, and they provided the information we needed promptly, helping to keep the transaction moving smoothly. It's clear they take pride in their work and value their clients. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a pool inspection and will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you for the exceptional service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Professionals from start to finish. I've used a few different pool services over the years and there is no comparison to TJ and his team. I had them perform a comprehensive leak detection and followed that up with a leak repair. Their expertise, top of the line equipment, and friendliness made the entire experience quick and easy. They keep you informed all the way through the process and in terms of value for dollar, they can't be beat. I wish I could give six stars!

    Tina Riddles ★★★★★

    TJ and his team go above and beyond opening and closing our pool. Exceptional service! We have had other pool companies in the past but nothing compares to Puddle Pools. I would definitely recommend them!!

I was referred to Puddle Pools Services and the knowledge and professionalism from their team has been top notch. Really appreciate how quick they are when responding to all my questions. I've had the pleasure of working with their team on two occasions and have been more than satisfied each time!
