Pool Inspections · Los Angeles

A thorough inspection covers the pool shell for cracks or structural issues, the plumbing and equipment (pump, filter, heater), electrical and safety equipment, plaster and tile condition, and a check for leaks or unusual water loss. A complete inspection should leave you with a clear picture of what's working and what needs attention.

Most pools benefit from a professional inspection once a year, in addition to the routine checks that happen during regular maintenance visits. If your pool is older, showing signs of wear, or you're buying a home with an existing pool, an inspection sooner than that is a good idea.

This depends on your specific policy. Insurance typically doesn't cover routine wear or maintenance issues, but damage from a covered event may be included. It's worth reviewing your policy or asking your provider directly rather than assuming coverage either way.

Cracks in the pool shell, visibly deteriorated plaster, unusual water loss, corroded or failing equipment, and electrical issues near the pool are all signs that need attention. Any of these on their own may be manageable, but several at once usually points to bigger problems worth addressing before they get worse.

A thorough inspection typically takes one to two hours, depending on the size of the pool and the condition of the equipment. More complex pools with additional features like spas, waterfalls, or automation systems can take longer to fully check.
