A pool problem discovered after closing becomes your problem too. Independent pool inspection inside the inspection period, documented in writing.
Pools sit in a gap in the transaction. General home inspectors exclude them, which is appropriate and disclosed, and the result is that the most expensive equipment on the property often goes uninspected while the clock runs on the inspection period.
An underground plumbing leak that surfaces three months after closing does not stay between the buyer and the seller. It comes back to the agents. Getting the pool documented during the period is the cheapest insurance in the file.
Transaction timelines do not move, so they get scheduled first. Call early in the period.
Documentation that can be attached to the file and shared with the other side.
Findings explained directly to your client or their home inspector so you are not relaying technical detail.
For your sellers: find it before the buyer's inspector does and control the conversation.
When repairs are negotiated, the pool can be retested before closing to confirm the fix.
A finding is reported only when it can be shown with evidence in the report.
The shell, fittings, skimmers and light niches, the equipment pad, and whether the pool is losing water beyond normal evaporation. Where loss is found, the diagnostic process identifies the source rather than noting that a problem exists.
Florida disclosure obligations around known defects are a real consideration on the seller side, and a documented pre-listing inspection puts the seller in a position to handle it deliberately instead of reactively. Specific legal questions belong with the transaction attorney, not the pool company.
Tell Sandra the inspection period deadline when you call and it gets scheduled around it.
Same-week scheduling is typically available, and transaction deadlines are prioritized. Mention the inspection period deadline on the call.
Yes, directly to the buyer, the seller, or their home inspector, so the agent is not in the position of interpreting technical findings.
Yes. Every inspection produces a written report with photo documentation suitable for sharing with the cooperating agent and attaching to the transaction file.
It is usually the stronger position. A pool issue found by the buyer's inspector becomes leverage against your seller. The same issue found before listing is a decision your seller makes on their own terms.
