A pool can be one of the best features of a Tri-Cities home, and one of the most expensive surprises if something is wrong with it. Before you close on a home with a pool, it pays to have it looked at by people who build and repair pools.
Why a separate pool inspection?
General home inspectors cover a lot of ground, and many treat the pool as a quick visual check or leave it out of scope. A pool-focused inspection looks more closely at the parts that cost the most to fix.
What we look at
- Liner or shell: fading, wrinkles, tears, stretching, or signs the liner is nearing the end of its life.
- Structure: coping, deck and visible walls for cracks, movement or damage.
- Equipment: pump, filter, heater and circulation system, and whether they are running properly.
- Leaks and plumbing: visible signs of water loss or problems with lines and fittings.
- Safety features: covers, gates and barriers.
Is the pool closed for winter?
Many Tri-Cities pools are covered and winterized from fall to spring, which limits what anyone can see or test. Ask us about your timeline, and talk with your agent about how to handle a closed pool in your offer.
For sellers and realtors
A pre-listing inspection lets sellers fix problems or price them in before buyers find them. For agents, a fast, clear pool report helps keep transactions on schedule.
