Pool Inspection in Lost Creek, TX
Lost Creek pools vary so much by lot that a pool inspection here is never one-size-fits-all — and that's exactly why you want someone who knows the community. The Pool Police has serviced Lost Creek since 2000, from 1970s gunite builds on the flat streets near the golf course to brand-new pebble-finish pools on steep canyon edges with infinity spas and integrated water features. On an older lot we inspect plaster for end-of-life condition and evaluate equipment that may still be 1980s-vintage; on a newer build we check the spa circulation, automation, salt system, and the plumbing that runs interconnected water bodies. Across all of them we inspect the shell for cracks and settlement, trace lines for leaks and flow, verify electrical bonding and GFCI, and assess the decking and coping — including the elevated, tucked-in equipment pads common on hillside lots. The dense Balcones Canyonlands oak canopy that loads filters tells us how the pool's been kept. Written report with photos within 24 hours, on your closing timeline. We don't sell renovations, so the findings are objective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service pools in the Lost Creek community (78735)?
Yes. The Pool Police runs an established weekly route through Lost Creek, covering the full community from the older flat-lot streets near the golf course to the newer hillside builds on the canyon edges. We've serviced pools here since 2000.
My Lost Creek pool has an integrated spa and water feature — can you handle complex pools?
Absolutely. Many Lost Creek pools were built with spas, waterfalls, laminars, and raised beam features that require careful cleaning and chemistry balanced across interconnected water bodies. Our techs are experienced with these multi-body pool systems and understand how water flow, evaporation, and chemical consumption differ from a basic rectangular pool.
How do you handle the Balcones Canyonlands leaf load in Lost Creek?
Lost Creek's canyon-edge lots sit directly under dense oak and cedar canopy. We increase skimmer basket checks, monitor filter pressure more aggressively through fall and cedar season, and run phosphate control chemistry to prevent decaying organics from feeding algae. Hillside lots with elevated decks often benefit from a leaf net during peak drop weeks.
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.
