Pool Inspection Services

Know What You Are Getting Into

Pools add value to homes, but they also come with responsibilities and potential problems. Whether you are buying a home with a pool, selling one, or simply want to assess your current pool condition, a professional inspection gives you the facts. We examine every aspect of your pool system and provide a detailed report on what works, what needs attention, and what might fail soon.

Our inspections catch problems that most people miss. A pool might look fine on the surface but hide equipment issues, plumbing leaks, or structural damage underneath. Castro Valley home buyers use our inspection service to negotiate repair costs before closing. Sellers use it to address problems proactively and avoid surprises during the sale. Current homeowners get peace of mind knowing exactly what their pool needs.

When You Need a Pool Inspection

Home buyers should always inspect pools before purchasing. What looks like a minor issue might require thousands in repairs. A cracked pool shell, failing equipment, or outdated electrical work can turn your dream home into an expensive nightmare. Our inspection gives you leverage to negotiate the price down or ask the seller to fix problems before closing. Many buyers have saved tens of thousands by discovering issues during inspection.

Sellers benefit from pre-listing inspections too. Finding and fixing problems before listing prevents deals from falling apart during buyer inspections. You can market your pool as recently serviced and inspected, which adds value and speeds up sales. Current homeowners should consider inspections if their pool is over 10 years old, they recently bought the home, or they notice problems but are not sure how serious they are. An inspection tells you exactly what to prioritize and budget for.

Your Detailed Inspection Report

After the inspection, we provide a comprehensive written report with photos and detailed findings. We list every issue we found, rate its severity, and estimate repair or replacement costs. You will know what needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what is simply normal wear. We explain technical issues in plain English so you understand exactly what you are dealing with.

The report includes recommendations for maintenance service and repairs if needed. We also note positive findings so you know what is working well. Many clients use our report to plan their budget for the next few years of pool ownership. If you need filter service or other work after the inspection, we handle that too.
