A swimming pool is a significant investment and a major feature of any property. Whether you're buying a home with a pool, selling your home, or simply want to understand the current condition of your pool and equipment, a professional inspection provides valuable information. Pool problems can be expensive to fix, so knowing what you're dealing with upfront helps you make informed decisions.

Who Needs a Pool Inspection?
Pool inspections serve different purposes for different people. Home buyers are our most common customers. If you're considering purchasing a home with a pool, an inspection is essential. The general home inspection typically doesn't cover pools in detail. Our specialized pool inspection reveals exactly what condition the pool is in and what repairs or upgrades you might need to budget for.
Home sellers also benefit from pre-listing inspections. Knowing your pool's condition before listing allows you to address problems proactively or price accordingly. It also demonstrates transparency to buyers and can prevent deals from falling through due to inspection surprises. A well-maintained pool can be a major selling point, while an unknown problem can scare buyers away.
Current pool owners sometimes request inspections too. If you inherited a pool with a property purchase, haven't used your pool in years, or are considering major renovations, an inspection helps you understand what you're working with. We can also perform routine maintenance inspections to catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. This pairs well with our regular maintenance services.
What You Get with Our Inspection
Our inspection typically takes 1 to 2 hours depending on pool size and complexity. We arrive with specialized testing equipment and tools to thoroughly evaluate every system. We test equipment under operating conditions to identify problems that might not be obvious when everything is off.
After the inspection, you receive a detailed written report with photos documenting our findings. The report clearly identifies any problems, safety issues, or items that need attention. We categorize findings by severity. Critical issues that pose safety hazards or will cause immediate problems are highlighted. Minor issues that should be addressed eventually but aren't urgent are noted as well.
The report includes estimated costs for any recommended repairs. This information is invaluable for negotiating home purchases or planning your maintenance budget. If you need any of the repairs performed, we can handle them. Our inspection services include equipment repairs, filter service, and any other work identified during inspection.
Common Problems We Find
Through hundreds of inspections in La Mirada, we've seen every type of pool problem. Some of the most common issues include aging equipment that needs replacement, leaking pipes or pool shells, outdated electrical systems that don't meet current safety codes, and poor water chemistry indicating maintenance neglect.
We often find surface problems like deteriorating plaster, cracked tiles, or heavy calcium buildup that needs professional tile cleaning. Equipment issues range from failed heaters and inefficient old pumps to clogged filters and broken automation systems. Safety concerns include missing or non-functional alarms, improper electrical bonding, and fencing that doesn't meet code requirements.
The good news is that most problems are fixable. Even pools in poor condition can be restored with the right repairs and maintenance. Our inspection helps you prioritize what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. This prevents you from being overwhelmed and allows you to budget repairs strategically.
