Pool Inspection Houston and Fort Bend Co.

Why Should You Have a Pool Inspected?

​

Katy TX has become one of the most desirable places to live in the great state of Texas however with our sultry temperatures house hunters gravitate to homes on the market that come with a ready-made backyard resort. If the home your considering has a pool you want to have it inspected to protect your assets the same way you have the home inspected because pools can be just as costly as roof or HVAC issues, sometimes even more. While most house hunters would think with the costly repair issues of a pool that a home inspector would add it to their checklist, but don’t count on it. Even if the inspector does, they’re not trained in pools the way Katy swimming pool service technicians are. Our team has a full understanding of the complexity of pools and we are dedicated to making sure that Fort Bend County house hunters don’t get stuck with the hefty and unexpected pool repair costs.

 

What’s Include in a Houston Pool Inspection 

​

One of the unique differences besides Katy swimming pool services and other pool maintenance companies is we offer a comprehensive pool inspection. While most pool and spa inspection companies only focus on equipment such as pool motors, pumps, and valves, our detailed pool inspection includes the following factors:

 

Pool Area: We check the perimeter of the pool for movement as this can occasionally cause structural issues with your underground pipes causing them t crack or separate, resulting in extensive damages.

​

Pool plaster: We check the pool for crack, etching, scaling, spalling, and delamination as with age plaster can have its fair share of problems.

 

Pool Tiles: We ensure the pool tiles have no cracked or loose ties as this can be a larger signal of structural issues. 

 

Coping: We check the pool coping to see if it has cracked or shifted as this can lead to improper drainage.

 

Drainage: We ensure the pool drains correctly if a pool does not it can result in cracking the pools or damaging the interior lining and surface. In worst cases, it can be a true safety hazard for the pool owner.

 

Water Supply System:  We ensure there are no cross-connections in the water supply system that could result in health issues,

 

Pool Equipment: Pumps, motors, blowers, skimmers, filters, heaters, automation such as safety controls and timers, gages, visible pipes, and pool valves including the external bonding of your equipment.

 

Pool Lighting: We evaluate any pool lighting for ground fault circuit interruptions, conduits, visible electrical components, and more. 

 

Pool Fence or Barrier: Since 2020 Texas has passed a law that every pool be required to have a barrier rather this is a mesh pool fence that’s removable or a permanent fence such as iron or aluminum.

 

In addition, we also check the structure of any decks, water slides, diving boards, ladders, and handrails.

 

When we are finished with our extensive pool inspection you can be assured of the pool condition. While a pool inspection is optional, it’s a process that’s worth your investment. When you hire our team for your pool inspection you will have peace of mind that your pool is stable and functions properly so you can enjoy your new home and its backyard resort.
