When to Book Pool Inspections in Miami
Every pool and spa is built to be tough and withstand the elements but they aren’t invincible. Something as small as a tear in a vinyl liner can take a major toll on the overall condition of your swimming pool. Without years of training and experience it can be tough to spot issues and that can mean getting stuck with the need for expensive repairs, replacements and a whole lot of headache. If you are buying or selling a home with a pool, or are just noticing that your water systems are acting funny call Puddle for your Miami pool inspection services.
It’s common practice to schedule a home inspection when purchasing a new home in Miami FL but not everyone goes the extra mile for a pool inspection. Pool, hot tub and spa inspections will provide a ton of insight into any existing issues, along with potential ones that might pop up in the near future.
Why Have An Expert Inspect Your Pool?
The average home inspector doesn’t always have experience with swimming pools. Even if an inground pool looks good from the outside doesn’t mean that systems are running smoothly. The same goes for heaters. Even if the heater works it doesn’t mean that liners are intact. A trained eye can spot issues great and small and will offer up insight into what is a cause for concern right now and what you can expect in the future.
Structures & Surfaces: A trained eye will look over all visible areas of your pool watching out for signs of physical damage. This can be everything from an obvious slab crack, a torn liner and broken or missing tiles.
System Testing: The best way to determine that a water system is running smoothly is to test it out. This means inspecting the pump, filter, water lines and more. By running internal components and testing out heaters, owners, potential buyers and real estate agents can rest easy knowing that everything is functional.
Assessing Surrounding Areas: A professional pool inspector doesn’t stop with the pool itself but considers the surrounding area too. If you are dealing with rusty or loose pool equipment and accessories, it quickly becomes a safety concern. Puddle pool inspectors will assess surrounding pool decks, pool fences, railings, ladders, slides and diving boards, looking for loose fixtures and signs of damage.
In the event that problem areas are spotted Puddle technicians are able to provide referrals to local pool repair specialists and are able to perform leak detection on the spot. It is important to note that Level 1 Swimming Pool Inspections do not come with a written inspection report.
Miami Pool Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pool barrier rules in Miami-Dade?
Miami-Dade County's Swimming Pool Permits page requires all new pools, spas and hot tubs to have a permanent barrier whose top is at least 48 inches above grade on the side facing away from the pool. Chain link or non wind resistant fences used as a residential pool barrier need a building permit. The City of Miami issues its own building permits, so confirm with the City for property inside city limits.
Do I need a City of Miami permit to replace pool equipment or add a hot tub?
Often not. City of Miami Code Sec. 10-5 exempts repair or replacement of residential pool equipment, other than a pool heater, from permits when a licensed plumbing contractor does the work. Above ground prefabricated whirlpool tubs are also on the exempt list. Pool heaters and new construction still need permits, so confirm with the City's Building Department before starting.
Which Miami neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Miami, including Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami, Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay. The full list of areas is on our Miami page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
Do I need a separate pool inspection if I already have a home inspection?
Usually yes. A general home inspection often covers a pool only briefly, if at all. A pool inspection looks specifically at the structure, the liner or surface, the equipment and the water system, which is where the expensive surprises tend to be.
What does a pool inspection check?
We inspect the safety features, carry out a visual inspection of the structure and liner or surface, check that the equipment works as it should and test the water system. You come away knowing the condition of what is there and what needs attention.
