When to Book Pool Inspections in Pickering
A swimming pool can be a major selling feature for both homes and businesses but only if they are in good condition. In fact, a damaged pool system can send potential buyers running in the other direction. Just because pool water looks clean doesn’t necessarily mean that structures, plumbing and equipment are in good shape. If you are buying a home with a pool, selling one or are noticing issues with your water system it is always a good idea to call a local pool inspection. Puddle technicians provide in-depth Pickering pool inspections that focus on condition and functionality so you can rest easy.
Anyone that works in real estate will tell you how important it is to have a home inspection done before a sale is finalized. This is a great practice but it is important to note that not all home inspectors are experienced in dealing with swimming pools. Anytime there are water systems involved it is a good idea to schedule a professional pool inspection but you should make sure that it is the right one! There are plenty of swimming pool inspections on the market, some of which are focused on permitting and insurance but when you want to know if a swimming pool in functional, you need a Level I Pool Inspection.
Level I Pool Inspection Services: What to Expect
Unlike some other inspection services, a Level I pool inspection is designed to provide insight into the condition and functionality of a swim space and the surrounding area. Experienced technicians involve visual inspections, testing and an assessment of safety issues in the area.
Visual Inspections: A trained eye can point out even the smallest issues before they become disasters. This can mean inspecting pool liners and surfaces for tears in vinyl or slab cracks in concrete. Visual assessments of pressure gauges offer insight into filters and return lines can shows signs of strain that are identified by our experts.
Testing: There is nothing worse than trying to fire up a pool heater only to discover that it doesn’t work. The same goes for plumbing lines and pool pumps. Without these components pools can never be fully cleaned and it requires costly repairs and replacements to get systems up and running. Puddle technicians test internal water lines to ensure that everything is working as it should be.
Safety Assessments: Ladders, railings, slides and diving boards turn swimming pools into a fun and safe place for your family, friends, tenants and guests — or at least they should! If you don’t use a slide regularly, you likely won’t notice if fixtures are coming loose. In the event of loosened bolts or corrosion these safety additions aren’t safe anymore and can lead to serious damage and injury. Puddle Pros will check up on these areas and pool decks for insight into any repairs that might be needed.
Please note that a Level I Pool Inspection is designed to provide insight into the condition of a pool, spa or hot tub, but these can’t be used for permitting or construction purposes and don’t come with a written report.
Pickering Pool Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pool fence rules in Pickering?
Under Pickering's Fences and Swimming Pool Enclosures By-law 6943/09, a pool that can hold more than 0.6 m of water needs an enclosure permit and an enclosure at least 1.2 m high. The fence must sit at least 1.0 m back from the pool wall and leave no more than 10 cm between the ground and the bottom of the fence. Confirm the details with the City before you build.
Can I fill my pool in Pickering before the fence is finished?
No. Pickering's by-law says no water may be placed or kept in a pool until an enclosure meeting every requirement is in place. Gates must be at least 1.2 m high, self closing and self latching and may not be left open unless a responsible person is supervising. Check with the City's Engineering Services before filling.
Do ravine lots or ponds in Pickering need anything extra?
Yes. Pickering requires written Toronto and Region Conservation Authority approval with any enclosure permit for a property in the TRCA Screening Area. Ornamental ponds that can be deeper than 0.6 m fall under the same enclosure rules as pools. Ask the City whether your lot or water feature is affected.
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.
Can you inspect a hot tub or spa at the same time?
Yes. Spas and hot tubs can be inspected alongside the pool or on their own, which is useful when a property has both.
Just had a visit from George from Puddle Pool Services and was so grateful for his approach, communication and suggestions for maintenance. It wasn't a easy job in accessing the panel and he was gracious in taking the necessary steps and putting everything back in place. The next day check in to make sure everything is working well is just a superior customer service. Thank you again.
