Pool Inspection — Jollyville, TX

Pool Inspection in Jollyville, TX

Jollyville is the 78759 zip code's mid-century core, and most pools here were built alongside the 1970s and early 80s ranch homes — many still running substantially original equipment. That's the whole reason a buyer needs a real pool inspection before closing. The Pool Police has serviced Jollyville since 2000, which means we know what original Jandy, Compool, and first-gen Pentair equipment looks like at this age, what's still parts-available, and what needs a modern substitute. We tell you honestly how much life is left on that gear rather than just confirming it powers on. We inspect the shell and decades-old plaster for cracks, etching, and delamination, trace the plumbing for leaks and flow, and verify electrical bonding and GFCI on systems that predate current code. Because the neighborhood mixes Austin Water and well-water streets, we note the water source — well water means more scale stress on the heater and cell. Written report with photos within 24 hours, on your real-estate timeline. We don't sell renovations, so the findings stay objective and easy to act on.

Typical Pricing $150–$275 per inspection, written report delivered within 24 hours Pre-purchase (home-buyer) inspections include a prioritized repair list with cost ranges. Complex pools with spas, water features, or automation may price higher. See full pricing guide →

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you service pools in Jollyville (78759)?

Yes. Jollyville has been one of our consistent weekly service areas since 2000. We run an established route through the 78759 zip code covering Jollyville proper, Balcones Village, and the neighborhoods around the Arboretum and Great Hills edge.

My Jollyville pool has original 1980s Jandy equipment — can you still service it?

Yes. We work on original Jandy, Compool, first-generation Pentair, and even some still-running Purex equipment regularly. For parts that are no longer manufactured, we know the modern equivalents that fit without requiring a full equipment-pad rebuild. We'll tell you honestly when a repair makes sense and when a targeted upgrade is the better long-term play.

Is my water from Austin Water or a well?

Depends on the specific street. Jollyville has a mix — most homes are on Austin Water, but some older streets still have well-water properties. We test chemistry on every visit and know which streets have which water source, so our weekly treatment is calibrated to what your specific pool actually contains.

Do I really need a pool inspection when buying a home?

Absolutely. A general home inspector checks that the pool holds water and the pump turns on, but they rarely evaluate equipment age, plumbing condition, or surface life remaining. Pool repairs can easily run into five figures — a dedicated inspection helps you negotiate or budget before closing.

What does the inspection report include?

Our report covers the pool shell condition, surface and tile assessment, all equipment with estimated remaining lifespan, plumbing and electrical review, safety compliance, decking condition, and a prioritized list of recommended repairs with approximate cost ranges.

How long does a pool inspection take?

A thorough inspection typically takes 60 to 90 minutes on site. We deliver the written report with photos within 24 hours. For urgent real estate transactions, same-day reports are available on request.
