Swimming Pool/Spa Inspection

A swimming pool/spa inspection will examine your pool or hot tub in two ways: visually and mechanically. The visual pool and spa inspection includes examining the pool equipment, electrical supply (including pool lighting) and any safety issues immediately surrounding the pool and pool deck. The mechanical pool and spa inspection monitors most important equipment as it operates.

Other common components of a pool and spa inspection include:

Visible parts of interior finish materials

Visible parts of decks, steps inside the swimming pool/spa shell, and coping

Pumps, motors, blowers, skimmer, filters, drains, heaters, automatic safety controls, gauges, visible piping and valves, conduit

External bonding of the pump motors, blowers, heaters and other components that are required to be bonded
