Who it's for
Pool inspections in San Marcos and surrounding areas
If a pool is part of the property, it should be inspected by a qualified specialist — not guessed at during a general home inspection.
Home sellers
Preparing for listing and want issues documented upfront — not discovered during escrow.
Realtors
Representing buyers or sellers who need a qualified pool specialist, not a guess.
Investors
Evaluating repair or renovation costs before committing to a property with a pool.
What we check
What our pool inspection includes
Each inspection is thorough, professional, and documented with a written report.
Pool structure & visible surface conditions
Why it matters: Cracks, delamination, and surface wear can signal costly repairs or resurfacing — buyers and sellers need that clarity before closing.
Pool plumbing & circulation systems
Why it matters: Proper circulation affects water quality and equipment life. We look for signs of plumbing issues that a walkthrough would miss.
Pumps, filters, heaters & automation
Why it matters: Equipment replacement is often the biggest surprise cost in a pool transaction. We document what's working, what's aging, and what may need attention.
Electrical & safety-related components
Why it matters: Pool electrical work in Texas must meet code. We note safety-related concerns within the scope of a pool inspection so you're not caught off guard.
Valves, fittings & visible leaks
Why it matters: Active leaks and failing fittings lead to water loss and damage. Catching them early prevents expensive surprises after you own the property.
Decking, coping, tile & surrounding areas
Why it matters: Trip hazards, loose coping, and water intrusion at the pool edge affect safety and long-term repair costs — not just appearance.
General operational & safety concerns
Why it matters: We assess whether the pool appears fit for normal use and flag practical safety issues — with clear language, not alarmist notes.
