What's not included

A determination of entrapment hazard risk or overall safety adequacy. The inspection documents the visible condition of safety features rather than certifying they meet code
Frequently Asked Questions
​
Will the inspector test the water?
No. Water chemistry testing isn't part of a standard pool and spa inspection. A pool service company can test water balance separately if needed.
​
Can this be added to a full home inspection?
Yes. Most clients book it alongside a full home inspection, though it's also available on its own.
​
Does the inspection confirm my pool barriers meet code?
No. The inspection documents what's visibly present, such as fencing or self-closing gates, but doesn't make a formal determination of code compliance or safety adequacy.
​
What standards does this follow?
The InterNACHI Pool and Spa Inspection Standards of Practice.
How long does a pool and spa inspection take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the equipment, but it's typically completed efficiently alongside a full home inspection when booked together.
