Your swimming pool can be a source of enjoyment and relaxation, giving you and your family the chance to soak up the sun, and beat the heat of New Jersey summers. However, pools do age over time, and with aging comes degradation. Eventually, it’s possible that your pool may not be safe to use, and leaks might even develop. The solution is to have a pool inspection in New Jersey, but what should be included in that inspection?
The Pool Surrounds
While the focus of the inspection should certainly be the pool itself, the inspector should inspect and note the condition of all the pool surrounds, including any fences, gates or other barriers, the walkway or deck surrounding the pool, the coping or tiling at the edge of the pool, the lighting around and within the pool, and any water features you might have, such as waterfalls, adjoining kiddie pools, hot tubs.
Visual Inspection
The first step in inspecting the pool itself should be a thorough visual inspection. An expert pool inspector will want to scuba dive in the pool while it is filled to visually inspect the entire surface underwater, checking for any signs of damage or degradation. During the inspection, the inspector should also dye test the shell. Electronic leak detection using advanced technology should be performed, for vinyl pool liners. Finally, all suction and return lines should be pressure tested.
Additional Components Inspected
The pump and filter, the pool heater, your cleaning equipment, the pool valve, the skimmer, and 2511the drain system are some of the other pool components that should be inspected at this time.
What Happens If Damage Is Found?
If the inspector identifies damage during the process, he or she will note it, and then discuss everything with you after the completion of the full inspection. This allows you to develop an entire picture of the situation, and the inspector will help you to understand exactly what steps need to be taken to rCall for Helpectify the situation.
