Leak Detection

Leak detection is an essential component in the second phase of swimming pool inspection. In most cases, swimming pool leak detection is necessary when the pool or spa is obviously damaged or, there is water loss at a rate higher than what typical evaporation would support. In general, however, many people simply choose to have their swimming pool tested for piece of mind.

For many, the swimming pool inspection is a thorough examination of the swimming pool body, decking, equipment and associated safety of the pool location, SB-442 guidelines and accessibility thereof. One of the main reasons for a pool inspection is to better determine the current condition as well as any near future repairs associated with the pool. That’s why having a contractor perform this inspection as opposed to your home inspector is a good idea. Having a swimming pool on your property is a tremendous liability as well as very safety concern for you and your family. Many swimming pool inspections are performed in conjunction with the purchase of a home or business. Swimming pool inspections much like any other part of the home buyers due diligence process, especially here in Los Angeles, are an important part of protecting the home buyer.

While there are home inspectors who get their experience from a classroom, books or from an online course, they will typically perform pool inspections as only a cursory or limited inspection. these same inspectors will then refer what they’re not familiar with, can’t diagnose or explain to a specialist, like us. Our inspectors are licensed California swimming pool service contractors with real genuine experience with repairing swimming pools, swimming pool equipment and even building swimming pools. We still, however, remain an impartial inspection company, who unlike service/repair companies or pool builders, will not attempt to sell you on any repairs pertaining to issues or suggestions originating from the inspection. For further information visit our FAQ page.

By and large, home inspectors performing a swimming pool inspection are likely to be more of a cursory inspection, as opposed to an in-depth evaluation. The typical home inspector-pool inspection may hoover around 20 minutes at best. Most typical swimming pool inspections will take anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour. That Said, larger more complicated swimming pools can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Water features such as water falls, detached spas, additional equipment will add to the inspection time and thus the fee. Many times, after the inspection is completed, the report delivery can take up to 24 hours.

Inspections Are Not Required

First thing to remember when it comes to all inspections whether its home, chimney, roof or pool, they are all voluntary. In other words, they are not necessary to complete the transaction and take possession of the property. That said, however, it would be difficult for me to ever advice anyone to purchase a home without getting ALL of the aforementioned inspections. In fact, if I were buying a home and knowing what I know about how homes perform, I’d get even more inspections than these.

Be that as it may, the swimming pool much like a roof or chimney is really it’s own entity and as a result, requires a specialist to evaluate. Sure anyone can look at the swimming pool and its condition and make comments. But only a specialist who’s actually built, repaired and serviced pools are capable to understanding the subtle nuances a pool can have, which may lead to trouble.

Can I Use A Certified Swimming Pool Inspector Or home Inspector?

In a word, yes. As a home buyer there are no rules to who you can use for your inspections, thats California. There are no certifications in California to perform any inspections associated with a home. For this reason, just be careful. Make sure that the person who you choose to perform your Los Angeles swimming pool inspection is at the very least a contractor or even a swimming pool service and repairman.

Swimming Pool Inspection Report and Repairs

All things considered, the swimming pool inspection report is probably the most important component to the entire swimming pool inspection process. Ultimately, the swimming pool inspection report is where the issues will be played out systematically in accordance with their importance. Obviously a really good inspection report is essential in helping you to receive repairs or concessions for repairs. Contrast this to a really bad report which may not support any findings with specificity or substance.

Swimming Pool Repairs

Indeed, many people ask whether or not we do repairs on swimming pools which we inspect. The answer is no. We are strictly a third party inspection firm. This is to say we feel having a neutral disinterested third part inspect the swimming pool, who does not perform repairs will thus, allow us to form unbiased opinions without the fear of trying to get work for ourselves.
