Pool Inspection in West Austin, TX
West Austin pool inspections are mostly about age — and age is exactly where money hides. Across the 78746, 78731, and 78735 zip codes, a lot of pools date to the 1970s and 80s, still running outdated plumbing and original equipment on plaster that's been through decades of Central Texas weather. In a market where high property values mean pool condition directly affects home value, a buyer can't afford to guess. The Pool Police inspects the shell for cracks, delamination, and settlement, gauges how much life is left in plaster that may be near the end of its run, and evaluates every pump, filter, and heater for age and remaining service life. We trace older plumbing for leaks and flow restriction and verify electrical bonding and GFCI on systems that predate modern code. You get a written report with photos within 24 hours, fast enough for any closing deadline. We don't sell renovations, so the report is objective. For city-specific inspections in Westlake Hills, Rollingwood, or Lost Creek, see the dedicated page for that neighborhood — each has its own pool-construction history we know well.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm in West Austin — which page should I look at?
Depends on the exact location. If you're inside the City of West Lake Hills (78746), see our dedicated Westlake Hills page. If you're in the City of Rollingwood, use the Rollingwood page. If you're in the Lost Creek master-planned community (78735), use the Lost Creek page. For Far West and the other West Austin zip codes, this umbrella page covers you — we serve all of it weekly.
Can you service older pools with outdated equipment?
Absolutely. We work on pools of every era, including systems from Purex, original Jandy, and early Pentair equipment. When parts are no longer available, we know the modern equivalents that fit without requiring a full replumb. West Austin's older housing stock is full of these legacy systems and we see them every week.
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.
