Common Questions About Pool Inspections

How long does a pool inspection take?

Most inspections take 60-90 minutes depending on pool size, equipment complexity, and the number of features being evaluated. We systematically examine every component—from the pump and filter to the deck and tile—to ensure nothing gets overlooked. While we're thorough and detail-oriented, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day. You're welcome to be present during the inspection and ask questions as we work.

When will I get my report?

You'll receive your detailed written report within 24-48 hours of the inspection. The report includes our findings, photos of any issues discovered, an assessment of equipment condition and remaining lifespan, and prioritized recommendations for repairs or maintenance. We organize everything by urgency level—what needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what's just good to know for future planning.

What if I'm buying a home with a pool?

A pool inspection is crucial before closing on any home with a pool. Many home inspectors aren't pool specialists and may miss critical issues with equipment, plumbing, or structural integrity. Our inspection reveals hidden problems that could cost thousands in unexpected repairs—giving you negotiating power to ask the seller to make repairs, reduce the price, or provide a credit at closing. In some cases, the findings may give you the option to walk away from a bad deal altogether. It's a small investment that protects you from inheriting someone else's expensive problems.

Can you fix problems you find?

Yes! If our inspection uncovers issues that need repair, we can provide full-service pool equipment repair for anything we identify—from pump and filter replacement to heater repairs and plumbing fixes. However, there's never any pressure or obligation to use our repair services. We provide honest, unbiased findings regardless of whether you hire us for follow-up work. Many clients choose to get multiple quotes for repairs, and we fully support that approach.

How much does an inspection cost?

Pricing varies based on pool size, features (spa, water features, automation systems), and accessibility. A standard residential pool inspection typically costs $475, while larger or more complex pools with extensive equipment may cost a bit more but usually $475 will cover 90% of the pools in Contra Costa County. Call (925) 808-3138 for an exact quote based on your specific pool. When you consider that a pool inspection can uncover $5,000-$30,000 in hidden repairs before you buy, it's a small investment compared to the surprises it prevents and the negotiating power it provides.

Do you inspect spas and hot tubs too?

Absolutely. We inspect all types of pools, spas, hot tubs, and water features including in-ground pools, above-ground pools, attached spas, standalone hot tubs, fountains, waterfalls, and pond features. Each type has unique components and potential issues, and our inspectors are trained to evaluate them all. If you have multiple water features on your property, we can inspect everything during a single visit.
