A swimming pool is an asset to any property, though these areas also require extensive upkeep to maintain their beauty and usability. If a swimming pool requires extensive repairs, their value to the property is often overstated, or it may detract from the value of the home due to the expense needed to repair them. Some repairs may be minor or completely aesthetic and will not affect the functionality of the pool. Other problems may appear minor and may actually result in serious long-term problems. A pool evaluation points out any cracks, damages, improper installation, and other possible flaws, so you know the exact value of the pool on the property and any repairs that it may require. Items we look for:
- Pool is up to current building codes
- Pool lighting is operational and grounded
- Proper drainage and decking around the pool
- The pool surface is sound and viable
- Sound construction and has anti-vortex covers
- Pool equipment is operational and bonded
- Proper sized pool heater/heat pump
- Pool chemistry is adequate
