Professional Pool Inspections in San Angelo

A pool is a major investment. Whether you are buying a house with a pool, selling your home, or just want to know the condition of your existing pool, a professional inspection gives you the information you need. We thoroughly examine every component of your pool and provide a detailed report of our findings.

Pool inspections are different from regular maintenance visits. During an inspection, we take the time to test and document everything. We look for problems that might not be obvious to untrained eyes. We help you understand what needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what is working perfectly. This knowledge helps you make smart decisions about repairs, purchases, and maintenance.

Why Get a Pool Inspection

Most people think of inspections only when buying or selling a house. But there are many good reasons to have your pool professionally inspected. Pre-purchase inspections reveal hidden problems before you commit to buying. You might discover a cracked pool shell, failing equipment, or major repairs that the seller did not mention. This information lets you negotiate price, request repairs, or walk away from a bad deal.

Current pool owners benefit from inspections too. If you just moved into a house and do not know the pool history, an inspection tells you exactly what you have and what it needs. If you are experiencing problems but do not know the cause, an inspection identifies the root issue. And if you are planning to sell your home, a pre-listing inspection lets you fix problems before buyers find them.

What Our Inspections Cover

Our comprehensive pool inspections examine every major system and component. We leave nothing to chance. Here is what we evaluate during a typical inspection:

• Pool structure: We check for cracks, leaks, surface deterioration, and structural integrity of the pool shell.
• Equipment: Full testing of pump, filter, heater, chlorinator, and automation systems for proper operation and efficiency.
• Plumbing: Inspection of all visible pipes, valves, and connections for leaks, corrosion, or damage.
• Electrical: Verification that all electrical components meet safety codes and function correctly.
• Water chemistry: Complete testing and analysis of current water balance and quality.
• Safety features: Evaluation of fencing, gates, drain covers, and other safety equipment for code compliance.

After the inspection, you receive a detailed written report with photos documenting our findings. We explain what everything means in plain English. We prioritize issues by urgency so you know what needs attention now versus what can wait. And we are always available to answer questions about the report.

Pre-Purchase Pool Inspections

Buying a house with a pool adds significant value, but it also adds risk. Pools are complex systems with many components that can fail. Repairs can easily cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. A pool inspection before closing protects you from expensive surprises.

We have inspected pools where the beautiful blue water hid major structural cracks, failing equipment, and code violations. We have found leaks that were costing homeowners hundreds in water bills. We have discovered outdated electrical systems that posed safety hazards. These problems were not obvious to buyers or even to regular home inspectors. A specialized pool inspection catches what others miss.

Most San Angelo home inspectors do a basic pool check, but they are not pool specialists. They might test if the pump turns on, but they will not catch a failing seal. They might look at water clarity, but they will not identify chemistry problems or hidden leaks. Our inspections go much deeper because pools are what we do every day.

Inspection Timing and Scheduling

For pre-purchase inspections, schedule as soon as your offer is accepted and you enter the inspection period. Most contracts give you 7 to 10 days for inspections. We can usually accommodate rush inspections with 24 to 48 hours notice, but booking early gives you more flexibility if we find issues that need further evaluation.

Regular maintenance inspections work best in spring before swimming season starts. This gives you time to address any problems we find before you want to use the pool. But we perform inspections year-round whenever you need one. Each inspection takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on pool size and complexity.

What Happens After the Inspection

Once we complete your inspection and provide the report, you decide what comes next. For pre-purchase inspections, you might negotiate with the seller for repairs or price reductions. For existing pools, you might schedule repairs for issues we found. Or you might simply gain peace of mind knowing your pool is in good condition.

We are happy to handle any repairs or maintenance that the inspection reveals. We can also connect you with regular service plans to keep your pool in top condition going forward. But you are never obligated to use our services. The inspection stands on its own as an independent evaluation.
