Professional Pool Inspection Services in Houston, TX

Whether you’re buying a home with a pool or maintaining your family’s investment, a professional pool inspection provides peace of mind and prevents costly surprises. At Boardwalk Pools, our family-owned company brings over 20 years of Houston-area expertise to every inspection. Our goal is simple: to give you a clear, detailed understanding of your pool’s condition so you can make confident, informed decisions.

Our Pool Inspection Process

Our comprehensive inspection includes a detailed assessment of:

Pool structure integrity - examining the shell for cracks, settling, or deterioration
Equipment functionality - testing pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems
Plumbing system - checking for leaks, proper flow, and valve operation
Electrical systems - inspecting wiring, bonding, grounding, and safety features
Surface conditions - evaluating tile, coping, and interior finish quality
Deck assessment - examining for cracks, settling, or trip hazards
Safety features - verifying compliance with local safety codes and regulations
Water chemistry - testing balance and sanitizer levels

Following the inspection, you'll receive a detailed written report documenting all findings with clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements. Our goal is to provide you with a complete understanding of your pool's condition and what may be needed to bring it to optimal performance.

Pre-Purchase Pool Inspections in Houston

Buying a home with a pool? Don't skip this critical step. A pre-purchase pool inspection from Boardwalk Pools can save you thousands in unexpected repairs and give you valuable negotiating leverage.

When purchasing a home with a swimming pool, most home inspectors only perform a cursory examination of the pool. Their limited knowledge of pool systems means they often miss critical issues that could lead to expensive surprises after closing.

Benefits of Our Pre-Purchase Inspections:

Identify hidden problems that general home inspectors typically miss
Estimate repair costs before finalizing your purchase
Gain negotiating leverage with accurate repair estimates
Plan for future maintenance with a clear understanding of the pool's condition
Prevent safety hazards by identifying code violations or safety concerns
Budget accurately for ongoing pool ownership costs

Our detailed pre-purchase inspection reports provide documentation you can use during negotiations to either request repairs before closing or adjust the purchase price to account for necessary work.

Annual Safety Inspections

Regular safety inspections protect your family and guests while extending your pool's lifespan. Our annual safety inspections identify potential hazards before they lead to accidents or injuries.

Swimming pools require regular safety evaluations to ensure they remain compliant with current safety standards and local regulations. Our annual safety inspections focus specifically on elements that could pose risks to swimmers.

Our Safety Inspection Includes:

Drain cover compliance with anti-entrapment standards
Barrier verification including fences, gates, and door alarms
Safety equipment presence and functionality
Electrical safety including proper grounding and bonding
Deck and coping hazard identification
Steps and ladders stability and condition
Diving board and slide safety assessment (if applicable)
Chemical storage and handling evaluation

After completing the safety inspection, we provide recommendations for addressing any issues that could compromise swimmer safety. This proactive approach helps prevent accidents and ensures your pool remains a source of enjoyment rather than worry.

Equipment Performance Evaluations

Maximize efficiency and minimize operating costs with our equipment performance evaluations. Our technicians assess the condition and efficiency of your pool equipment to identify opportunities for improvement.

Pool equipment that operates inefficiently not only drives up utility costs but also tends to fail prematurely. Our equipment performance evaluations measure actual performance against manufacturer specifications to identify issues before they lead to breakdowns.

Our Equipment Evaluation Includes:

Pump efficiency testing and flow rate measurement
Filter performance and media condition assessment
Heater operation and combustion analysis
Salt system production verification
Automation system functionality testing
Variable speed pump programming optimization
Energy consumption analysis and recommendations
Equipment age and estimated remaining lifespan evaluation

Following our evaluation, you'll receive recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or replacements that could improve performance, reduce operating costs, or extend equipment life. We provide options at various price points, allowing you to make informed decisions based on your budget and priorities.

Structural Assessments

Protect your investment with our detailed structural assessments. Our experienced technicians can identify early signs of structural issues before they lead to catastrophic failures.

Pool structures are designed to last for decades, but factors like soil movement, water table changes, and improper construction can lead to premature deterioration. Our structural assessments look beyond the surface to identify potential issues with the pool shell and supporting elements.

Our Structural Assessment Includes:

Shell integrity evaluation for cracks or movement
Beam and coping condition assessment
Deck attachment and expansion joint inspection
Soil stability around the pool perimeter
Water loss monitoring to detect potential leaks
Hydrostatic pressure relief system verification
Settlement patterns identification and analysis
Structural reinforcement evaluation where applicable

If structural issues are identified, we provide detailed recommendations for repairs along with estimated costs. Early intervention can often prevent minor structural problems from developing into major renovations.
