Complete Pool Equipment Evaluation
Our pool inspections include a thorough evaluation of all major equipment components. We test pump operation, check filtration systems for proper function, inspect heaters for performance and safety, and evaluate automation systems if present. We examine valves, gauges, timers, and control panels to ensure everything operates as designed. Each piece of equipment is assessed for age, condition, and expected remaining lifespan. We provide clear documentation of our findings, including photos when needed. If we identify equipment that needs repair or replacement, we explain the issue and what it means for the pool’s operation. This detailed equipment evaluation helps you understand exactly what you’re working with and plan for any necessary maintenance or upgrades.
Structural and Surface Inspection
We carefully examine the pool structure and all visible surfaces during every inspection. This includes checking the pool shell for cracks, delamination, or other damage that could indicate structural issues or lead to leaks. We inspect tile, coping, and decking for condition and stability. Steps, benches, and other built-in features are evaluated for safety and integrity. We look at the pool finish whether plaster, aggregate, or tile for wear, staining, etching, or damage. Any issues with grout, expansion joints, or surface deterioration are noted. We also inspect the surrounding deck area for proper drainage, trip hazards, or signs of settlement that could affect the pool structure. Our structural inspection gives you a clear picture of the pool’s physical condition and helps identify any repairs that may be needed.
Safety and Compliance Review
Safety is a critical component of any pool inspection. We verify that required safety equipment is present and functional, including proper fencing, gates with self-closing and self-latching mechanisms, and compliant barriers. We check that electrical components meet safety standards and are properly grounded. Pool lighting, GFCI protection, and bonding are all evaluated. We inspect drain covers to ensure they meet current safety regulations designed to prevent entrapment. We also look at ladders, rails, and other access points for stability and condition. While our inspection identifies safety concerns, we recommend consulting with local authorities about specific code requirements in Plano and Collin County. We document all safety-related findings so you can address any issues that need attention.
Water Quality and System Performance
During our inspection, we test water chemistry and evaluate the overall water quality. We check for proper sanitizer levels, pH balance, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. We look for signs of algae, staining, or water clarity issues that might indicate filtration or chemical balance problems. We assess the circulation system by observing water flow through returns and checking skimmers for proper operation. We examine the filter system for cleanliness and efficiency. If the pool has special features like waterfalls, jets, or spa components, we test these for proper function. Our water quality assessment helps identify whether the pool has been properly maintained and if any system adjustments or repairs are needed to achieve optimal water conditions.
