Why get a pool inspection before buying?

Most home inspectors don’t perform a true pool inspection — they note visible issues only. Hidden problems like underground plumbing leaks, failing bond beams, or undersized equipment can cost $5,000-$25,000 to fix after closing. A dedicated pool inspection typically pays for itself many times over by giving you negotiating leverage or letting you walk away from a money-pit pool.

How long does a pool inspection take?

A complete pool inspection takes 2-3 hours on site. We provide the written report within 24 hours, in time for inspection-period contingency deadlines. Rush inspections are available if your closing timeline is tight.

What does a pool inspection cost?

Our standard pool inspection is $295-$450 depending on pool size and equipment complexity. That’s a fraction of what an undetected major issue would cost after closing. We accept payment at the inspection or via your title company at closing.

Do you inspect older pools differently?

Yes. For older pools we pay extra attention to systems that fail with age — original PVC plumbing, cast-iron drain lines, vintage pool light niches, and bond beams. We’ve inspected pools across Northeast Florida for 40+ years and know the typical failure patterns by build era.

Can you inspect a pool that’s currently empty or out of service?

Yes — but a full plumbing pressure test requires the pool to be filled. For empty pools we focus on shell, tile, equipment, and any visible plumbing, and recommend a follow-up plumbing test once the pool is filled if you proceed with purchase.
