Suncoast Pool Consultants 2


Certified Services
​

Using Standard Operating Procedures developed by Home Inspectors University of Florida, our Consultants will examine the following:

  • Safety Features:  Checking fences, gates, alarms, and other safety barriers to ensure they meet code and provide a safe environment.
  • Potential Leaks:  Conducting thorough leak detection tests to identify any potential issues early on using the most advanced leak detection equipment.
  • Pool structure and components:  Examining the pool's surface, tile, coping, drains, and other vital components for signs of damage or unusual wear.
  • Equipment:  Checking the functionality of pumps, filters, heaters, and other pool equipment.
  • Water Quality:  Analyzing the water chemistry to ensure its balanced and safety for swimming.

Safety First

Starting with examination of an existing pool fence and gate, it will be noted whether they meet code.  The existence or lack of child safety fences, pool alarms, and any other safety device will be noted and analyzed in our report.  The overall condition of the lanai & doors enclosing the pool area, along with the pool cage will also be analyzed and noted.  Tripping hazards such as improperly secured or incorrectly sized skimmer lids, cracking or chipped pavers and coping or improper deck height will all be closely analyzed and noted.

Leak Detection

With the most advanced Leak Detection Equipment, our professionals can accurately identify water loss through evaporation and structural defects while the equipment is in operation and off.  They will analyze tile, shoulder cracks, structural cracks, and epoxy repairs that can exist in all pool tile. Examination of the skimmer and the pool equipment pad will also identify water leak points. All results of Leak Test and possible leaks found in structure will be noted in the report.  

Vital Statistics

Important information about your pool will be identified such as how old the pool is and what materials were used to build it. Also, dimensions of pool and how many gallons of water it takes to fill to capacity will be declared. Pool depth will be determined along with an estimate of how long your equipment needs to run to maintain a healthy pool chemistry. Identify pool depth. Water will be tested for general assessment of the overall chemistry. If algae or black mold is present it will be noted along with other basic chemicals required for clarity.      

Decking

Our professionals will note style, condition, while looking for cracks in the deck, and settling, all of which can indicate poor drainage around the pool and identify tripping hazards. The condition of deck drains will be inspected. The mastic or expansion joint between the deck and pool coping will be assessed for tightness and existence. We will also identify the type of decking present and make recommendations for improved materials.         

Surfaces

The surface of the pool should be examined closely for type, staining, and delamination. Overall condition will be noted.  Tile, and its surrounding grout, will be checked for integrity and condition.  Coping will be assessed on condition, grout lines and its installation. Is the coping secure or separating from bond beam?

Equipment

Our professionals will check the main drain covers, suction covers, other anti-entrapment devices, VGB-compliant safety equipment and Ports for suction cleaners.  Operation of underwater lighting, ground fault circuit interrupters, conduit, visible electrical components and load center will be analyzed. The external bonding of the pump motors, blowers, heaters and other equipment will be checked. As will the operation & flows of pumps, motors, heater, skimmer, filters, drains, heat pumps, blowers, gauges, visible piping and valves. If present, all diving boards, slides, handrails and ladders will be assessed for condition. Lastly, if present, our professionals will also analyze of Automation, Salt Systems or Chlorinators.
