Pool Inspection Services

Know Exactly What You Are Getting

A pool can be one of the most expensive features of a home. It can also hide serious problems that cost thousands of dollars to fix. Whether you are buying a house with a pool or selling one, a professional pool inspection gives you the facts you need.

Our pool inspection service examines every component of your pool system. We check equipment, structure, plumbing, and water chemistry. Then we give you a detailed report that explains what is working, what needs attention, and what might become a problem later.

At HCP Haltom City Pool Services, we have inspected hundreds of pools in Haltom City. We know what to look for and how to spot problems that others miss. Our inspections give you confidence and protect you from expensive surprises.

What Our Pool Inspection Covers

We perform a comprehensive evaluation of your entire pool system. Here is what we check:

• •
  Pool Structure: We inspect the pool shell for cracks, leaks, hollow spots, and structural damage. We check tile condition, coping integrity, and deck surface for safety issues or deterioration.
• •
  Equipment Function: We test your pump, filter, heater, and all other equipment. We check for proper operation, unusual noises, leaks, and signs of wear. We also evaluate equipment age and expected remaining lifespan.
• •
  Plumbing System: We check all visible plumbing for leaks, proper connections, and correct sizing. We test water flow and circulation. We also look for signs of underground leaks that might not be obvious.
• •
  Electrical Components: We inspect electrical connections, bonding, and grounding for safety. We check that equipment is wired correctly and that circuit breakers are appropriate for the loads.
• •
  Safety Features: We verify that required safety equipment is present and working, including fencing, gates, alarms, and covers. We check for proper drain covers and anti-entrapment devices.
• •
  Water Quality: We test water chemistry and check for signs of algae, staining, or other water quality issues. This tells us a lot about how well the pool has been maintained.

After the inspection, you get a detailed written report with photos that documents everything we found. We explain what items need immediate attention, what can wait, and what is normal wear and tear.

Who Needs a Pool Inspection

Several situations call for a professional pool inspection:

Home buyers should always get a pool inspection before closing. The general home inspector might look at your pool, but they usually do not have specialized pool knowledge. They miss problems that a pool professional catches immediately. Our inspection can save you from buying expensive problems.

Home sellers benefit from pre-listing inspections. Finding and fixing problems before listing gives you negotiating power and speeds up the sale. Buyers feel more confident when they see a recent professional inspection report.

Current pool owners should consider an inspection if they inherited a pool they know nothing about, if they suspect problems, or if equipment is acting strangely. An inspection gives you a clear picture of your pool condition and maintenance needs.

After an inspection reveals needed repairs, we can help with pool equipment repairs and other services to get your pool in top shape.

Common Problems We Find During Inspections

Through years of inspections, we see the same issues come up repeatedly. Here are the most common problems:

Old equipment that looks like it works but is near the end of its life. Pumps and heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. If equipment is older than that, you should budget for replacement soon even if it still runs.

Hidden leaks that waste water and damage surrounding structures. Small plumbing leaks underground can go unnoticed for years. We look for signs like constantly running auto-fill systems, wet spots in the yard, and unexplained water loss.

Structural cracks that need repair. Not all cracks are serious, but some indicate foundation movement or shell deterioration. We identify which cracks matter and which ones do not.

Poor maintenance history shown by calcium buildup, dirty filters, or out-of-balance water. These signs tell us the pool has been neglected, which often means other hidden problems exist too.
