Pool Inspection — Quick FAQs

Aligned with our inspection checklist: equipment, hydraulics, safety cues, photos, and a written report.

  • What’s included in a standard inspection?
    A visual/functional review of the equipment (pump, filter, heater, chlorination), pressure/flow observations, leak & seal checks at visible joints, safety/electrical cues (visual only), water clarity notes, photos, and a written report with prioritized recommendations.
  • Will you run the equipment during the inspection?
    Yes, when safe and accessible. If the system is off or winterized, we perform a visual-only assessment and note items requiring power for full testing.
  • Is leak or pressure testing included?
    Pressure/leak tests are not part of the standard inspection but can be quoted as an add-on if we suspect an issue or if you request it for real-estate due diligence.
  • Do you test water chemistry?
    We record clarity and any readings you provide. Basic testing can be added on request; our primary focus is the condition and operation of equipment and circulation.
  • How long does a pool inspection take?
    Typically 60–90 minutes depending on pool size, features, and equipment complexity.
  • Do I need to be home and how do I handle payment?
    Being home isn’t required—just ensure access to equipment and power. If you’re not home, a card on file is required. Text the word “link” to 631-928-0225 to securely upload your card (no logins or calls).
  • Can you provide repair estimates after the inspection?
    Yes. Your report includes prioritized recommendations, and we can provide estimates for any approved follow-up work.
  • Is this suitable for real-estate transactions?
    Absolutely. We provide photo-rich documentation and can expedite reporting for closings. Add-on tests (e.g., pressure testing) are available on request.

Pool Inspection — Top 15 FAQs

Everything homeowners ask about pre-buy inspections, seasonal checkups, what’s included, safety/equipment reviews, and how to schedule.

What are the most common reasons to schedule a pool inspection?

Real-estate transactions, unexplained water loss, unclear water, noisy or aging equipment, or simply establishing a maintenance baseline.

What does your pool inspection include?

Visual review of structure/surfaces (where visible), safety elements, hydraulics, and operational checks of pump, filter, heater, and chlorination.

Photo documentation and a prioritized report with recommendations and next steps.

Do you check for leaks during the inspection?

We look for leak indicators (wet areas, salt stains, air in pump lid, pressure drops). Pressure testing/dye testing is available as an add-on when needed.

Will you test my water chemistry?

Yes—snapshot testing (chlorine, pH, alkalinity, CYA/salt as applicable) to support the inspection findings.

We include simple balancing guidance in the report when chemistry contributes to issues.

Do you operate the equipment during the inspection?

When safe, we run the system to observe startup, pressures, flow, heater ignition, and automation basics. If the pool is winterized or unsafe to run, we note limitations.

What safety items do you look at?

Visual cues for GFCI protection, bonding (where visible), drain covers (VGB), ladders/handrails, and cover condition.

We flag concerns and recommend licensed trades where specialized work is required.

Is a pool inspection the same as leak detection or a full structural evaluation?

No—this is a comprehensive visual/operational inspection. Pressure testing, scuba/dye work, and engineering assessments are separate services if needed.

How long does a pool inspection take?

Typically 60–90 minutes depending on size, equipment complexity, and access. Reports are usually delivered within 24–48 hours.

Do I need to be home for the inspection?

Not required—just ensure safe access to the pool area and equipment. We can review findings by phone and email the report with photos.

Will you inspect salt systems and automation controls?

Yes—we check status codes, cell condition (visual), output, and basic automation operation when accessible and powered.

What will I receive after the inspection?

A written, prioritized report with time-stamped photos, observations, and recommended actions or quotes for corrective work.

Can you provide repair estimates for issues you find?

Yes—common service items (seals, valves, filters, heaters) are quoted directly through our office.

For specialized trades (electrical/gas/structural), we outline next steps and referrals as appropriate.

Do you enter the pool or remove covers during an inspection?

No entry is required for a standard inspection. We do not remove safety covers unless pre-arranged; conditions under a solid cover may limit visibility.

What if the system is winterized or not running?

We complete a non-operational visual inspection and note limitations. A return visit can be scheduled for operational testing when the system is active.

How do I schedule a pool inspection with Empire Pools?

Text us photos of the pool and equipment pad (plus labels)—we’ll confirm scope and provide scheduling options.
