Can You Inspect the Pool and Spa Equipment as Part of a Leak Inspection for a Sale?

Yes, but scope matters. Here is exactly what we look at and what we do not certify.

Yes, we look at the pool and spa equipment as part of the inspection, but we are clear about the scope.

What We Look At

  • Visible leaks at the equipment pad
  • Poor repairs
  • Air issues
  • Valve conditions
  • Pump operation concerns
  • Obvious electrical safety concerns
  • Child safety concerns

What We Do Not Certify

  • Entire electrical system
  • Code compliance
  • Remaining equipment life
  • Pump, filter, heater, salt system, or automation

Pool equipment can involve 240 volts. If wiring is loose, exposed, damaged, or poorly protected, that is not something to ignore. A curious child, homeowner, or service person could walk up to the equipment and touch something they should not touch. If we observe something that appears unsafe, we are going to document it and tell the customer.

Child Safety

We also pay attention to child safety concerns when they are visible. Pools are attractive to children, and safety barriers, gates, alarms, and access points matter. We are not acting as a code official or child safety consultant, but visible safety concerns get documented.

We are not acting as a code official, child safety consultant, electrician, or home inspector. Our role is to evaluate the pool, leak-related concerns, visible safety concerns, and what can be observed at the time.
