What You Need to Do Before You Buy a Home With a Pool

It’s no surprise that over one million residences throughout the state of Florida have a swimming pool on the property. Whether you own a single-family residence or a multi-family residence, maintaining a pool is a big responsibility for the safety of all involved. Before you buy a home or an investment property with a pool, you need to complete your due diligence and ensure you are making a wise investment. The certified master inspectors at Evolve Property Inspections will help keep you safe with a comprehensive pool and spa inspection.

Inspect Before You Buy or Sell

Don't get distracted by envisioning all of the future fun your family will have, spending time in the pool of the home you want to purchase. Not only do you want to ensure your family and guests will be safe in the pool, but you also don't want to inherit someone else's costly problems. A swimming pool inspection will give you an accurate appraisal of the pool, as well as make you aware of any necessary repairs and associated costs. If you are selling a home with a pool, you can go ahead and schedule the inspection to stay ahead of the real estate transaction. 

What You Will Learn From the Inspection

A pool inspection will determine whether the pool and its components are safe, and everything is functioning as it should be. The inspector will evaluate the plumbing, filters, lights, valves, solar heating system, pumps and motors, electrical system, filtration system, pool heater, safety barriers, and any adjoining structure to the pool. We will be vigilant to look for any signs of leaks, damaged water lines, faulty drain covers, improper settlement of the pool deck, faulty wiring, poorly attached ladders, failing steps, loose railings, dangerous diving boards, and other visible safety issues.
