Oshawa Pool Inspections

When you are house hunting, a swimming pool can be a major selling feature — but only if it is functional! If you are considering selling or buying a home with a pool, it is important to make sure that this swim space is a sound investment and our Puddle technicians are here to help! Professional Oshawa pool inspection services assess water condition, surfaces and internal water systems to provide insight into overall condition. 

There are plenty of reasons to consult a professional pool inspector, some of which involve construction permits or are used for insurance purposes. These types of inspections are important but they often don’t consider whether or not a pool is operational. Puddle technicians provide Level I Pool Inspections for peace of mind and full insight into the condition and functionality of any residential or commercial swim space. 

Professional Pool Inspections: What to Expect 

If you have ever purchased a home before you are likely familiar with the concept of a home inspection. A home inspector might be able to provide assessments on roofing, foundations, plumbing or electrical but a swimming pool is in a league of its own. It takes an experienced technician with a trained eye to track down problem areas, so swimming pool inspections are always best left to the experts at Puddle Pools. There is nothing worse than finalizing a sale only to be met with the need for costly repairs or replacements. 

Visual Inspections: With years of technical training under their belts, Puddle technicians are able to spot even the most subtle signs of existing issues, as well as potential ones. Some signs of physical damage might be obvious, like slab cracks but other pain points might be harder to detect. Luckily, our technicians are trained to watch out for torn liners, cracks, and other issues. 

System Testing: Stagnant water is contaminated water and no pool is complete without a functional water system. If a key piece of pool equipment, like the  pool pump is beginning to fail it will have a ripple effect throughout your entire swim space. Careful testing of pumps, return lines and heaters provide insight into the overall condition of all of the systems that keep your water flowing. 

Assessing Safety Issues: Swimming pools are often equipped with safety features and accessories. A ladder, for example is meant to be a quick exit from pool water but if fixtures have come loose it is an accident waiting to happen. Visual assessments and light testing of ladders, railings, slides and even diving boards can help to make sure that these features are safe for use. 

A swimming pool should be fun and safe and not the source of constant headaches. Having an expert inspect your pool, spa or hot tub can provide peace of mind to potential home buyers, sellers or those homeowners who feel their water system might need a little TLC. It is important to note that Level I Pool Inspection is designed to provide peace of mind but does not include a written report.
