Pool, spa, and septic inspections

The extras a standard home inspection does not cover. If the home has a pool, a spa, or a septic system, we can check those too.

Beyond the standard inspection

A pool can be a fun experience for the whole family, but if you do not know what you are buying, it can be full of headaches. We inspect the pool, hot tub, or spa to be sure the pumps work, the liner is in good condition, the heaters run, the electrical is safe, and the steps and ladders are sound, along with the safety items that go past a pool's simple visual appeal.

A standard home inspection does not include a private septic system, but it is not a bad idea to have one done, especially if the house has been vacant for a while. We are NAWT certified, trained by the National Association of Wastewater Technicians, so we know what to look for past the typical visible and accessible.

We also offer a one year warranty inspection, a walkthrough near the end of a builder's warranty period to catch items while they are still the builder's responsibility. Ask us for the details.
