Buying a home is an exhilarating journey filled with numerous decisions and considerations. One element that often captures the imagination of potential homeowners is the prospect of having a swimming pool. While a pool can be an incredible addition to a property, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection before finalizing your purchase. In this blog post, we discuss why it is essential for homebuyers to get a pool inspection and what we can help you with at Upstate Leak Finders.
Any unforeseen issues in the liner, gunite, or fiberglass or in the underground lines can lead to unexpected financial burden. By understanding the pool’s current state, you can make an informed decision about whether this investment aligns with your budget and long-term plans.
We receive many calls that start out with “I bought a home recently and it looks like the pool is leaking….”. You can avoid this unexpected stress during the homebuying process by calling us and getting your pool inspected. A typical home inspector is not going to have the correct equipment to make sure the pool is tested thoroughly – that’s where we come in!
A pool inspection with Upstate Leak Finders includes:
· Pressure testing all the lines to make sure there are no underground hidden leaks
· Scanning the liner using our Vinyl Liner Scanner for any hidden holes in the liner
· Checking gunite or fiberglass pools for any structural cracks
· Thoroughly checking each light, skimmer, and return fittings and any other feature that could be leaking
We then provide you with a detailed report and recommendations on items that should be addressed.
A pool inspection gives you peace of mind and empowers you to make informed decisions about your complete home purchase. Remember, when it comes to buying a home with a pool, it’s always better to dive in with your eyes wide open!
