Our Pool Inspection Process

The intent of a pool inspection is to evaluate the current condition of all accessible pool components for safety and operation:

  1. Pool / spa placement and protection: This includes fencing, gates, screen enclosure, the pool’s proximity to electrical wires and outlets, and the pool’s location in relation to the home.
  2. Pool / spa vessel and coping: This includes the pool and deck surface condition (cracks, discoloration, and pitting) and the coping surrounding the pool (open joints, cracking). Drains are inspected for the presence of anti-vortex covers for safety reasons.
  3. Pool / spa equipment: This includes inspection of pool/spa lights, the presence of GFCI devices, junction box condition and location, pumps, filters, piping, timers, disconnects, heaters, controls, accessories, skimmers, and the appropriate electrical bonding.
  4. Pool / spa equipment operation: This includes operation of the pump, inspection for leakage, checking for proper skimming and filtration, heater activation, checking filter pressure and the operation of the spa blower.

Upon completion of the pool/spa inspection, a detailed report will be generated. The report will summarize our findings, include general maintenance tips, and identify areas in need of attention. Our report enables you to proceed with confidence in your purchasing decision and helps you look forward to becoming a pool owner.

My wife and I hired SIS to perform a pool inspection on a property we are in the process of purchasing. Kyle arrived on time. He when over all the documents and explained everything he was going to inspect. After the inspection, Kyle took the time to go over his findings and walk us through all the areas his inspection covered. He answer all the questions we asked with honesty. Will recommend.
