    Keeping your pool running smoothly takes a lot more than a skimming every now and then.

    When to Book Pool Inspections in Waterloo

    There are plenty of situations in which it is a good idea to call a pool inspector but the most common call-out that we get is during the sale of a house or commercial property. Buying a home is a big investment and buying a home with a pool is an even bigger one. There is nothing worse than finalizing a sale only to find yourself stuck with the high costs of pool repairs. Professional Waterloo pool inspections provide peace of mind to buyers, sellers and homeowners who are noticing their water systems just aren’t running right. 

    Swimming pool inspections are not a one-size-fits-all process. There are many different types of inspections on the market, some of which focus on construction permitting or for insurance purposes. These are useful in their own way but they often don’t provide insight into the overall condition of the pool.

    Having An Expert Inspect Your Pool: What to Expect 

    Whenever a property changes hands, it is common practice to book a home inspection. The average home inspector will be experienced in assessing foundations, roofing, exterior walkways and even electrical but will likely not have experience in dealing with pools, spas or hot tubs. Swimming pools are complicated structures with complex systems behind them, so they are always best left to the experts. 

    Puddle Pool Services provides Level I Pool Inspection Services that focus on condition and functionality. Professional pool inspections will assess the pool itself, as well as internal water systems and surrounding areas. 

    Visual Inspections: You might look over a swimming pool and see clear water and assume that it is in good, working order but looks can be deceiving. A trained eye understands the common problem areas in swimming pools as well as the more subtle ones that might come as a surprise. For example, a small tear in a vinyl liner might go unnoticed by pool owners but it won’t get by our technicians. Over time, even a small tear will become larger and instead of being able to patch these areas, might lead to the need for costly repairs. Puddle technicians perform visual checks of pool structures, as well as return lines and other areas, pointing out any existing issues and identifying potential issues before they become disasters. 

    Testing: Any pool, spa or hot tub depends on a series of moving parts to stay in great shape. If pool pumps begin to fail it won’t take long for water to become contaminated and it will put unnecessary wear and tear on internal systems. Any additional strain will reduce the lifespan of components and equipment, which means expensive repairs and replacements. Instead of being surprised by a bill, let a Puddle Pro provide insight into any issues that might be on the horizon. 

    Safety Issues: Keeping swimmers safe means ensuring that safety equipment is sound and functional. A ladder or safety railing is meant to help swimmers exit the pool but if it has become loose or is coming away from its fastenings, it is a serious risk. Puddle technicians perform visual assessment and light testing can help to point out problem areas with safety features, pool decks, diving boards, slides and other additions. 

    It is important to note that the goal of a Level I Pool Inspection is to provide peace of mind to potential buyers, sellers or home owners. Puddle technicians provide insight into the overall condition of water systems and can offer advice on care and maintenance but this type of inspection does not include a written report. 

    Waterloo Pool Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions

    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.

    Is an inspection useful if I am selling my home?

    It can be. Knowing the condition of the pool before listing lets you repair issues on your own terms, and a clean inspection gives buyers confidence in a feature that otherwise makes some of them nervous.

    What happens if the inspection finds a problem?

    We explain what we found and what it means, in plain terms. Where repairs are needed, we can quote them so you know the scale of the issue before you make decisions.

    What affects the cost of a pool inspection?

    The size and type of pool, whether a spa or hot tub is included and the equipment on site all affect the price. Ask for a quote for your property and we will tell you exactly what is included. (Where the local franchise publishes inspection pricing, the local version of this answer quotes it exactly.)
