Whether in the past you owned a home with a pool or not, it’s important to have a pool inspection at the home you may soon call your own. A thorough pool inspection should assure a buyer of many key issues, ranging from the functionality of the pool pump and elevation of the deck surface.
Pool inspectors: Is it worth hiring one?
It is best to hire a pool inspector before buying a new home to evaluate the pool’s condition. Inspectors provide a report of their findings, which involves the areas of concern. However, not all home inspectors are well trained on how to evaluate a pool’s condition properly. A dedicated pool inspector can point out many areas that need to be fixed that can also protect you and your loved ones from a health hazard. A pool inspection includes the inspection of complicated parts such as filters, pumps, and heaters. Many pools have additional equipment and special accessories that only a pool inspector can inspect.
A pool inspection is indeed an optional process, but it worth’s the time and investment. The results will be a peace of mind and home with a properly functioning backyard resort.
