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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Why should I hire a swimming pool contractor for a pre-purchase inspection?
General home inspectors usually lack in-depth pool knowledge. Our pre-purchase inspections identify hidden problems, provide repair estimates, reveal code violations, and give you negotiating leverage before closing.
What are the benefits of an annual safety pool inspection?
Annual inspections identify hazards like non-compliant drain covers, fencing or gate issues, faulty electrical grounding, unsafe ladders, and improper chemical storage—helping prevent accidents and ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Do you provide equipment performance evaluations?
Yes. We test pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems, and automation to measure performance against manufacturer specs. We also evaluate energy usage, efficiency, and lifespan, recommending repairs or upgrades as needed.
How do you assess pool structure integrity?
Structural assessments look at shell cracks, coping, beams, deck attachment, soil stability, settlement patterns, hydrostatic pressure systems, and reinforcement needs. Detecting these early prevents costly repairs later.
Can a pool inspection save money for homeowners?
Yes. Inspections catch small problems before they become major expenses, provide accurate repair estimates, and ensure your pool operates efficiently, lowering utility and maintenance costs long-term.
How does a pool inspection help new homeowners?
It prevents unexpected repair bills after purchase, documents the pool’s exact condition, and ensures safety compliance. You’ll know if you’re buying a reliable pool or one needing costly fixes.
Do your swimming pool contractors inspect pool safety equipment?
Yes. We check ladders, handrails, diving boards, slides, and required safety gear like life hooks and barriers to verify compliance and protect swimmers.
