Ellingwood Pro’s thorough inspections give you a complete picture of your pool or spa’s condition before you buy—or when you’re maintaining your current property.
What Is a Pool Inspection?
A pool inspection is like a health check-up for your aquatic investment. Ellingwood Pro’s certified inspectors assess every critical component of your pool or spa to confirm it’s safe, functional, and compliant with local regulations.
During the inspection, we:
- Examine the structural integrity of your pool, including the shell, coping, and surrounding surfaces
- Test the water chemistry and filtration systems to ensure proper sanitation and clarity
- Verify safety features like fencing, alarms, and necessary equipment for compliance and peace of mind
- Evaluate mechanical systems such as pumps, heaters, and electrical components to make sure everything’s running smoothly
After the evaluation, you’ll receive a detailed, same-day report that documents any existing or potential issues. Ellingwood Pro’s comprehensive approach helps you understand what needs attention now—and what can wait—so you can protect your investment and your family.
