Pool Inspection in Lakeway, TX
Buying a home in Lakeway with a pool? Before you sign, you need to know what that limestone well water has done to the equipment. The Pool Police inspects pools across Hills of Lakeway, Flintrock Falls, and the surrounding 78734 and 78738 properties — and in this market, the heater and salt cell tell the real story. Well water that tests above 400 ppm calcium hardness lays down scale inside heat exchangers and on cell plates, quietly stealing years off equipment a seller may never have disclosed. We pull the numbers: heater and pump age, remaining useful life, and how hard the scale has hit. Many Lakeway pools are also built into hillside rock, so we trace the plumbing for leaks and restricted flow where access is tight, check the shell for cracks and settlement, and verify electrical bonding and GFCI protection. You get a written report with photos within 24 hours, on real-estate-deadline timing. We don't sell renovations, so what we find is exactly what's there — no inflated repair list, no soft-pedaling a worn-out heater to keep a deal moving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Lakeway pool get white scale buildup so fast?
Lakeway sits on the Edwards Plateau limestone formation. Well water and even treated water in the 78734 and 78738 zip codes carries high calcium hardness — often above 400 ppm. Without proactive chemical management, that calcium precipitates as white scale on tile, inside heaters, and on salt cells. We adjust our treatment plan specifically for Lakeway water conditions.
Do you service Hills of Lakeway and Flintrock Falls?
Yes. We have established routes through Hills of Lakeway and Flintrock Falls every week. Lakefront pools in the Rough Hollow community have their own dedicated service approach — see our Rough Hollow page for details on the specific challenges of those newer luxury builds.
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.
