Pool Inspections in Vaughan: What to Expect
A house is more than a place to lay your head at night. A house should be a home and investment both financially and in your own enjoyment and a pool can definitely help with that! Whether you are tracking down your dream home or rental property, are looking to sell a house with a pool or are noticing issues with your current swim space, our Puddle Pros can help! In-depth Vaughan pool inspections provide insight into the overall condition of a swim space, as well as peace of mind that you are making a good investment.
Swimming pool inspections should cover the condition of a swim space itself, as well as the surrounding areas for a more complete view of conditions. There is nothing worse than buying a home with a pool only to find out that water systems are broken, vinyl liners need to be replaced or even worse, that you are dealing with a leak. In the same way that there are risks when purchasing a home with a pool, no one wants to finish selling their home only to be met with headaches from the new owners. Avoid a stressful situation by calling Puddle for professional pool inspection services.
What to Expect When Having An Expert Inspect Your Pool
Before finalizing a sale it is common for home buyers to enlist a home inspection to make sure that properties are in good shape. The average home inspector will assess structures and often focus on roofing, foundations, electrical and other issues but often aren’t experienced in dealing with swimming pools.
There are many different types of pool inspection on the market so it is important to ensure that you are booking the right one. It is common for homeowners to have pools inspected for insurance purposes, construction or permitting but none of these test to see whether or not pools are actually functional. A Level I Pool Inspection focuses on functionality and overall condition with visual inspections and testing.
Visual Inspection: A trained pool inspector is able to notice even the smallest detail that might have been overlooked during regular maintenance practices. Something as simple as a small tear in a vinyl liner will become worse over time, leading to the need for costly repairs or replacements. Puddle technicians will overview liners and concrete foundations, as well as surrounding areas looking for slab leaks, physical damage or signs of underground leaks.
Testing: In order to make sure that water systems are running smoothly, Puddle technicians test many different components of pool systems. Testing heaters, return lines, pool pumps and more means being able to inform pool owners if an expensive repair or replacement is on the horizon. In the case of a pool sale, this can impact sale price so it is important to know before you sign on the dotted line.
Spotting Safety Issues: Safety features should be just that — safe. An expert will perform visual inspections and light testing of safety features. If a railing or ladder is becoming loose or diving boards are coming away from their fixtures, this can be a huge safety hazard. By surveying pool decks, pool equipment and surrounding areas, Puddle technicians provide a clear view of overall condition and what to expect for the future of your swim space.
Puddle technicians are highly trained and experienced but they are also local to the Vaughan area. We understand the common pain points for pools in your area and put emphasis on these areas for a more thorough result. Level I Pool Inspections provide valuable insights and peace of mind but it is important to note that these do not come along with written reports.
Vaughan Pool Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a pool or hot tub in Vaughan?
Yes. Vaughan requires a pool permit for any body of water 30 inches or more deep, including in ground pools, hot tubs, spas and temporary or seasonal pools, under Fence By-law 189-2020 and Zoning By-law 1-88. A By-law Enforcement Officer must inspect the fence enclosure before the pool is filled, so confirm timing with the City.
What inspections come with an in ground pool permit in Vaughan?
According to the City of Vaughan pool permit FAQ, a City inspector photographs the property, sidewalk, curb and boulevard trees before construction and the plans are checked for zoning, fence and lot grading. In ground pool permits are valid for one year and can be renewed once. Final inspections confirm the work matches the permit and has not damaged public property or neighbouring lots, so confirm the steps with the City before digging.
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.
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.
