Washington Pool Inspections

Structural Integrity and Aesthetics

• Coping & Decking: We inspect the material surrounding the pool edge (coping) and the adjacent patio area (decking) for cracks, shifting, or damage that could compromise safety or lead to water intrusion.
• Pool Interior: We examine the plaster, tile and grout for signs of wear, staining, delamination, or cracking that could indicate underlying structural issues or require repair.
• Skimmer & Main Drain: These crucial components are checked for proper function, visible damage, and secure installation within the pool shell.

Equipment Diagnostics

The heart of your pool system lies in its equipment. We perform extensive equipment diagnostics to ensure everything is running efficiently and safely.

• Pumps & Motors: We assess their operational noise, leaks and overall condition, looking for signs of wear or impending failure.
• Filters: Sand, cartridge, or DE filters are inspected for proper pressure, cleanliness and any damage that might impair water filtration.
• Heaters & Chillers: We check for proper ignition, heating capacity, exhaust issues, and rust, ensuring your water temperature control system works as expected.
• Automation Systems: Any integrated control panels, remote systems, and timers are tested for full functionality.
• Plumbing & Valves: All visible plumbing lines and valves are checked for leaks, proper routing, and ease of operation.

Leak Testing and Water Features

Leaks are often invisible but can lead to significant water loss and structural damage. Our leak testing procedures are thorough.

• Plumbing Pressure Testing: We use specialized equipment to pressure test the pool's hidden plumbing lines (return lines, suction lines) to detect concealed leaks that aren't visible to the naked eye.
• Visual Leak Detection: We inspect the pool shell, skimmers and fittings for any overt signs of water loss.
• Water Features: Waterfalls, fountains and other decorative features are inspected for proper operation and leaks.

Safety Compliance

Ensuring your pool meets safety standards is paramount, protecting both users and homeowners from liability.

• Fencing & Gates: We verify that barriers are up to code, secure and self-latching to prevent unsupervised access.
• Electrical Components: We inspect Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets near the pool area for proper function, ensuring critical safety cut-offs are active. We also check for correct bonding and grounding of metal components, which protects against electrical shock.
• Drain Covers: We confirm anti-entrapment drain covers are properly installed and compliant with current safety regulations.
