Comprehensive pool evaluations that give you complete peace of mind about your system's condition.
Most pool owners don't think about inspections until something breaks or they're buying a home with a pool. That's a mistake. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies. A worn pump seal that costs $75 to replace today will destroy your pump motor and cost $600 if you wait until it fails completely. A small crack in your plaster can be patched for $200 now or require a $5,000 replaster job next year.
Our pool inspection service gives you a complete picture of your pool's health. We check everything from water chemistry to equipment condition to structural integrity. You get a detailed written report that explains what's working well, what needs attention soon, and what can wait. This information helps you budget for repairs and avoid nasty surprises. It's especially valuable if you're buying or selling a home in San Leandro with a pool.
Our comprehensive inspection covers every aspect of your pool system. We don't just glance at things and call it good. We actually test and measure everything. Here's what we check:
The entire inspection takes about 60 to 90 minutes. We use professional testing equipment that's more accurate than the strips you buy at pool stores. We run all your equipment through complete cycles to make sure everything operates properly. We also look for code violations or safety hazards that could be dangerous or cause problems if you try to sell your home.
There are several situations where a professional pool inspection makes sense. If you're buying a home with a pool, get it inspected before you close. Home inspectors often don't have specific pool expertise, and they miss important problems. We've seen buyers discover $10,000 worth of needed repairs after closing because nobody checked the pool properly during escrow.
If you're selling a home, a pre-listing inspection helps you price correctly and avoid buyer surprises. You can fix minor issues beforehand and have documentation showing your pool is in good condition. This often speeds up negotiations and prevents buyers from using pool problems to demand price reductions.
Even if you're not buying or selling, annual inspections are smart preventive maintenance. We recommend getting your pool inspected every year, ideally in spring before summer swimming season. This catches wear and tear early when repairs are cheapest. Our San Leandro pool service team can schedule your inspection during your regular maintenance visit if you're already a customer.
We don't just look at your pool and leave. You receive a detailed written report with photos documenting everything we found. The report is organized by priority: immediate concerns that need attention now, upcoming issues to budget for in the next 6 to 12 months, and general observations about your pool's condition.
For each issue we find, we explain what it is, why it matters, and approximately how much it will cost to fix. This gives you a roadmap for pool maintenance and helps you avoid getting surprised by unexpected expenses. If we find serious problems that need immediate attention, we can often handle the repairs right away or schedule them quickly.
If your inspection reveals equipment issues, check out our pool equipment repair service for solutions. For structural or plaster problems, we can recommend qualified contractors who specialize in that work. And if your pool just needs good ongoing care to prevent future problems, our weekly maintenance program keeps everything in top shape year-round.
