Pool Inspection Services
Comprehensive pool inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners who want peace of mind.
Professional Pool Inspection Service
A pool inspection gives you a complete picture of your pool's condition and what maintenance or repairs it needs. Whether you're buying a home with a pool, selling your house, or just want to know what shape your pool is in, our detailed inspection covers every component. We check structure, equipment, plumbing, electrical, and water quality to identify any issues.
Most home inspectors aren't pool experts. They might check if the pump turns on, but they miss problems that will cost thousands to fix later. Our technicians specialize in pools and know exactly what to look for. We've inspected hundreds of pools throughout Costa Mesa since 2024, and we regularly catch issues that general inspectors miss.
After your inspection, you'll receive a detailed written report with photos documenting every finding. We explain each issue in plain language and estimate repair costs so you can make informed decisions. If you're buying a home, use our report to negotiate with sellers. If you own the pool, use it to plan your maintenance budget. We're honest about what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. For ongoing pool care after your inspection, check out our regular maintenance services.
What Our Pool Inspection Covers
We conduct a thorough point-by-point inspection of your entire pool system. Here's what we examine:
- •Pool structure: Check for cracks, leaks, tile damage, coping problems, and deck issues
- •Pool finish: Inspect plaster, pebble, or tile for wear, staining, etching, or needed repairs
- •Pumps and motors: Test operation, check for leaks, unusual noises, or signs of wear
- •Filtration system: Inspect filter condition, pressure levels, valves, and overall effectiveness
- •Heater: Test operation, check for proper ignition, inspect heat exchanger, and measure efficiency
- •Plumbing: Look for leaks, check pipe condition, inspect valves and fittings
- •Electrical: Verify proper bonding, inspect connections, test GFCI protection, and check timers
- •Lighting: Test all pool and spa lights, check for water intrusion
- •Automation: Test control systems, valves, and all automated features
- •Water chemistry: Complete water testing for all chemical parameters
- •Safety equipment: Check covers, gates, fencing, and drain covers for code compliance
If we find equipment that needs repair, our repair service can fix it. For pools needing thorough cleaning before sale, we offer deep cleaning. We can also help with filter maintenance and other services based on our findings.
When to Get a Pool Inspection
Before Buying a Home
Never buy a home with a pool without getting it professionally inspected. Sellers often hide problems, and pool repairs can easily cost $10,000 or more if major equipment needs replacement. Our inspection gives you negotiating power and prevents expensive surprises after closing.
Before Selling Your Home
Get your pool inspected before listing so you can fix problems proactively. Buyers will have the pool inspected anyway, and it's better to address issues on your terms rather than during negotiations. A clean inspection report also gives buyers confidence and can help your home sell faster.
Annual Maintenance Check
Even if you maintain your pool regularly, an annual inspection catches developing problems before they become major repairs. We often find small issues that would have caused equipment failures or expensive damage if left unaddressed. Think of it like a physical for your pool.
After Neglect or Damage
If you've just bought a neglected property, had a pool company do major work, or experienced damage from a storm or earthquake, an inspection documents the current condition and identifies what needs attention. This is especially important if you're filing insurance claims.
