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.

  • Tyler did a great job on the inspection and Michelle was very helpful with scheduling. This is the second home they did for me and they did a fantastic job both times.

  • Mark was awesome, very Photo, he inspected two houses for me. He worked long hours and then sent us an impeccable report. He also walked with us before he left to show us points of interest in those two homes. I will absolutely hire him again!

  • Mark was fantastic! Used A action twice and both times had mark come to do the inspection and he was thorough and detailed. Due to his work we were able to get a significantly lower purchase price!

  • A-Action is certainly one of the pricer home inspection companies but I was very pleased with Bo's detailed historic home inspection. He was on time and throughly explained his findings both walking us through at the end of the day as well as providing a detailed report. When paying for the inspection I was surprised that A-Action was charging an extra 3% credit card fee when only a cc option was provided but happily they've hired an exceptional customer service rep to work the phones nights and evenings who provided their Zelle info so I could avoid the fee. Overall I'm very pleased.

  • Brendan as our inspector and Michelle who helped me on the phone scheduling my appointment were both so friendly and professional. I felt like we were in good hands with them both. We were interested in a 1970s home and I wanted to make sure we chose a home inspector with experience in older homes, so when I saw all the YouTube videos A-Action has on 1970s-home inspections, I knew they were the right company to go with. Brendan would reply to my simple follow up texts after about the inspection and even provided a vendor list for specialists in the area if we wanted to take a closer look at something, which we did and even their vendor list was great! Highly recommend A-Action!
