How long does a pool inspection take?

Most pool inspections take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the pool and complexity of the equipment. We take our time to check everything thoroughly. You will receive your written report with photos within 24 to 48 hours after the inspection.

Do I need to be present during the inspection?

It is helpful but not required. Many buyers or sellers prefer to be there so they can ask questions and understand what we are finding in real time. If you cannot be there, we will document everything thoroughly in the report and follow up with you by phone to discuss our findings.

What if you find major problems during the inspection?

We will explain any major issues clearly and give you realistic cost estimates for repairs. For buyers, this information helps you negotiate or make an informed decision about the purchase. For existing owners, we will prioritize repairs by urgency and help you create a plan to address them. We can handle any repairs ourselves or you can hire whoever you prefer. Our goal is to give you accurate information so you can make the best decisions for your situation.

Why Get a Pool Inspection

A pool inspection gives you a complete picture of your pool's condition. Whether you are buying a home with a pool, selling your property, or just want to know the state of your equipment, a professional inspection provides valuable information.

Many problems develop slowly over time. You might not notice that your pump is working harder than it should, or that your filter is not cleaning as efficiently as it used to. Small leaks can go undetected for months, wasting water and chemicals. An inspection catches these issues early when fixes are still simple and affordable.

For buyers, a pool inspection is just as important as a home inspection. Pools are expensive, and repair costs can add up quickly. Knowing exactly what you are getting helps you negotiate a fair price and budget for any necessary work. If you are in Estero looking for pool services, an inspection is a smart first step to understanding what your pool needs.

Our Inspection Report

After we finish inspecting your pool, you get a detailed written report. We do not just give you a pass or fail grade. We explain exactly what we found in plain English that anyone can understand.

The report includes photos of any problem areas, notes on equipment age and condition, and recommendations for repairs or maintenance. We prioritize issues by urgency, so you know what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.

For buyers, this report is a valuable negotiating tool. For sellers, it shows you have maintained the pool and helps set realistic expectations. For existing owners, it provides a roadmap for keeping your pool in top shape for years to come.

We also include cost estimates for any recommended repairs or replacements. This helps you budget and plan accordingly. Many of our inspection clients become regular maintenance customers after seeing the value of professional care. Our weekly pool cleaning service keeps your pool in excellent condition year-round.

When to Schedule an Inspection

There are several situations where a pool inspection makes sense:

Before buying a home with a pool, get an inspection as part of your due diligence. Pool repairs can cost thousands of dollars. Knowing what you are getting into protects your investment.

Before selling your home, an inspection helps you address issues proactively. Fixing problems before listing shows buyers the pool has been well maintained.

After buying a home with a pool, even if the previous owner had an inspection, get your own. You want to know the current state of everything and establish a baseline for future maintenance.

Annual inspections for existing pools catch developing problems early. This is especially valuable for older pools where equipment is nearing the end of its lifespan.

After major weather events or if your pool has been neglected, an inspection tells you what needs to be done to get it back in shape.
