Why get a pool inspection before buying?
Standard home inspections often miss pool problems, especially leaks, structural issues and failing equipment. A pre-sale pool inspection by certified leak detection professionals finds them before they become your bill.
What the inspection includes
- Full pool and equipment test. We run the pool, test the automation and check every piece of equipment for operation and age.
- Electrical and bonding check. We look for proper bonding and electrical connections.
- Swim test. Our pros physically swim every pool to check the surface, lights and fittings.
- Leak detection. A full plumbing test and a complete dye test.
- Deck and fence condition.
- Repair quote. As a Florida licensed contractor, we can quote the repairs.
Common issues found during inspections
- Hidden pool leaks
- Cracked pool shells
- Worn-out equipment
- Aging plumbing lines
- Poor repairs by previous owners
Catching these before closing can save thousands.
Why home inspections are not enough
- General home inspectors typically do not test pool plumbing lines.
- They do not specialize in leak detection.
- They usually do a basic visual check only.

Frequently asked questions
Is a pool inspection necessary when buying a home?
Yes. Pools are complex and problems are often hidden. A pre-sale pool inspection protects your investment before you close.
How much does a pre-sale pool inspection cost?
Pro Pool Team pre-sale pool inspections start at $395. Price depends on pool size, features and the testing needed.
How long does a pre-sale pool inspection take?
Usually one to three hours, depending on the pool and the testing required.
Can you find leaks during a pre-sale inspection?
Yes. The inspection includes a dye test and a full plumbing test, so we can find leaks and do more testing if needed.
Can I use the report to negotiate?
Yes. Many buyers use our findings and repair quote to ask for repairs or a price adjustment.
Why isn't a home inspection enough?
General home inspectors usually do a visual check of the pool and equipment. They typically do not test pool plumbing lines, swim the pool or specialize in leak detection.
Do I need to be there for the inspection?
No. Buyers and agents are welcome to come, but we only need access to the pool and the equipment. Leave the gate open, and in a gated community call security to let us in. We can send the report and quote to both the buyer and the agent.
Do you patch leaks during a pre-sale inspection?
No. A patch would hide the leak from the buyer. We document every leak we find and quote the repair so you see the real condition of the pool.
Can the seller pay for the repairs?
Yes. Many buyers use our quote to ask the seller to pay for the repairs or give a credit at closing. The quote covers work done by Pro Pool Team.
