Thorough pool inspections for home buyers, sellers, and owners who want peace of mind about their pool's condition.
A pool is a major home feature that can affect property value and create ongoing maintenance costs. Before you buy a home with a pool, you need to know what condition it's in and what repairs or issues you might face. Our pool inspection service gives you clear, honest information about the pool's current state and what it will need.
We inspect pools for home buyers, sellers preparing to list their property, and existing owners who want an expert assessment. Our inspections are thorough, covering everything from structural condition to equipment function. You'll receive a detailed written report with photos that clearly explains what we found.
Unlike general home inspectors who might spend 15 minutes looking at a pool, we specialize in pools. We know what to look for, what problems are serious versus cosmetic, and what typical repairs cost. This specialized knowledge helps you make informed decisions about buying, selling, or maintaining your San Rafael property.
Our inspection covers every aspect of the pool and its equipment:
The inspection typically takes one to two hours depending on pool size and equipment complexity. We test everything that can be tested and visually inspect everything that can be seen. If areas are covered or inaccessible, we note that in our report.
Buying a home with a pool is exciting, but you need to know what you're taking on. Pools can be wonderful amenities or expensive headaches depending on their condition. Our buyer inspection helps you understand what you're getting before you close the deal.
We'll identify any immediate problems that need addressing, estimate repair costs, and explain typical ongoing maintenance requirements. This information is invaluable for negotiations. If the pool needs major repairs, you can ask the seller to address them or adjust your offer accordingly.
We also help you understand what normal wear and tear looks like versus serious defects. Not every crack or worn component is a deal-breaker, but you should know about them upfront. Our report gives you the facts you need to make a confident decision. Our San Rafael pool experts have inspected hundreds of properties in the area.
If you're selling a home with a pool, a pre-sale inspection helps you prepare. You'll find out about any issues before potential buyers do, giving you time to address problems on your terms rather than during negotiations. Fixing known issues before listing often leads to a smoother sale and better price.
Even if you choose not to make repairs, knowing what's wrong helps you set realistic expectations and pricing. You can disclose issues upfront, which builds trust with buyers and prevents surprises during their inspection period that might derail the sale.
Some sellers use our inspection to create a pool condition report they can show to buyers. This demonstrates transparency and can make your property more attractive compared to homes where the pool condition is unknown. Simple improvements like professional tile cleaning can significantly improve how your pool presents to buyers.
You don't have to be buying or selling to benefit from an inspection. Current pool owners often request inspections when they inherit a pool from a previous owner, purchase a home from a family member, or just want an expert opinion on their pool's condition.
If you've been having ongoing problems with your pool and can't figure out why, an inspection can identify the root cause. Sometimes equipment is incorrectly installed or plumbing was done wrong years ago. Finding these hidden issues explains mysterious problems and guides effective repairs.
Inspections also help you plan for future costs. We can tell you what equipment is nearing the end of its lifespan and what you might need to budget for in coming years. This prevents surprise emergency repairs and helps you maintain your pool proactively. For pools needing immediate attention, our equipment repair service can address issues we identify during inspection.
After the inspection, you receive a comprehensive written report with photos. The report is organized by category and written in plain English without technical jargon. We clearly identify problems and explain their severity and urgency.
For each issue, we provide recommendations for repair or replacement and rough cost estimates. This helps you prioritize what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. The report includes photos documenting specific conditions so you can see exactly what we're talking about.
Most reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection. We're always available to discuss the findings and answer questions. If you need repairs, we can handle them, or you can use the report to get quotes from other contractors. The information is yours to use however helps you most. For ongoing maintenance needs, consider our weekly pool service to keep your pool in excellent condition.
