Level I Pool Inspection Services: What to Expect

Swimming pools, spas and hot tubs are investments in your property. Having a home with a pool comes along with a lot of benefits but it also comes along with a lot of maintenance. Home inspections are common practice for any home buyer but these services often don’t take the condition of pools and hot tubs into account. In the event that you find a home inspector that does cover pools, they will focus on structural integrity and the not the functionality of a water system.

A Level I Pool Inspection focuses on functionality. When you are selling your home it is important to put your best foot forward and having an expert inspect your pool can provide peace of mind to sellers and potential buyers, as well as those experiencing issues with an existing pool system. Level I swimming pool inspections include visual assessments of water systems, as well as testing.

Visual Assessments: When performed by an expert, visual inspections can point out small tears in a vinyl liner, cracking in plastic components or a run down motor or filter. A small tear in a liner will become larger over time, allowing water to seep into vulnerable areas. This can result in unexpected water damage to foundations, bubbling under vinyl and the need for costly replacements. Having an expert perform an overview of your liner can help to identify small tears and potential problems can help to organize small repairs, prolonging the lifespan of your liner. Visual inspections of pool decks, safety features, diving boards and surrounding areas can also help to point out potential problems before they become disasters.

System Testing: As a property owner, there is always something to do around the house. In a residential pool environment, it can be difficult to diagnose a struggling system. In a high traffic area like a commercial pool, a broken heater won’t go unnoticed for long but at home, it is easier to overlook. Professional inspections test water systems including, heaters, pumps, motors, return lines and even the condition of filters.

Level I pool inspections do not come along with a written report and cannot be used for permitting, construction reports or insurance purposes. If you are in the market for peace of mind that your pool systems are running smoothly, just call a local Puddle Pro for expert insight.
