If the new home you are planning to purchase has a swimming pool, it is a good idea to get a pool inspection done along with your 4 point inspection. The purpose of pool inspections is to determine the current condition of the pool.
Living in Clearwater and Pinellas County Florida has its advantages. One advantage is that many homes come included with a swimming pool. They can bring hours of family enjoyment. However, if left unchecked when you buy your new home, pool repairs can cost thousands of dollars if problems are not caught early.
Because pool repair can come at a steep cost, a separate pool inspection is recommended along with your 4 point inspection before you as the buyer make a commitment.
Solid Rock Home Inspection provides a visible inspection of accessible pool components for obvious deficiencies such as leaking pumps, broken pipes, chipped or cracked pool decks.
