Buying a home with a pool in Austin?
Before you book a pool inspection
Share the property location, your transaction deadline, and how to access the pool and equipment. Mention an attached spa, heater, salt system, automation, or water features. If you have prior service records or repair invoices, make them available so the findings can be read in context.
A report you can use
The inspection covers pool surfaces, equipment, plumbing, electrical and safety observations, and surrounding decking. The written report includes photos and prioritized repair recommendations. Use it to separate current findings from questions that need additional investigation or a repair quote.
Confirm the scope before your deadline
Ask which systems can be operated during the visit and how inaccessible or non-operating equipment will be documented. A condition inspection and a dedicated leak search are different services. If you suspect water loss, discuss that before booking rather than assuming a pressure test is included.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
