How Should a Private Pool & Pump Room Be Inspected?

Check the shell, tiles, coping, waterproofing, overflow, balance tank, pumps, filters, valves, electrics, earthing, lighting, drainage and chemical storage. Review water loss, service records and operating noise. An infinity or hillside pool can involve complex structure and waterproofing. Obtain a repair estimate for defects before completion rather than accepting that pools always need minor work.

Use specialists appropriate to the risk, such as a building inspector, structural or geotechnical engineer, surveyor, electrician or pool technician. Record defects before final payment and obtain realistic repair priorities and costs.

Confirm current property-specific details through documents, inspection and appropriate independent professionals before committing money.
