A Pool Is a Major Investment — Inspect It Like One

Purchasing a home with a pool is exciting, but pools are complex systems with components that most general home inspectors aren't trained to inspect. Leaking plumbing or a failing pump motor can be a few hundred dollars to fix, while a deteriorating surface can easily cost $3,000–$10,000+ to repair.

Top real estate agents consistently recommend getting a dedicated pool inspection - because detailed knowledge of the pool's condition can affect both your future happiness and the final purchase price.

A $280 inspection could save you thousands in surprise repairs — and give you leverage in negotiations.

25+ Years of Real-World Pool Experience

I started in the pool business in 1999 in Arizona, where I maintained a route of over 50 residential and commercial pools, and installed and repaired dozens of filtration systems.

In 2007, I became the pool operator and supervisor for the YMCA in Albany, Oregon — managing a 125,000-gallon commercial salt pool serving over 7,000 swimmers per month. That experience taught me how to spot problems before they become expensive disasters.

Today, I bring that same hands-on knowledge to every inspection I perform, so you can buy with confidence. In 2021 I became a Certified Pool Inspector from nationally accredited Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) and have completed over 700 pool inspections across the Tampa Bay and surrounding areas.

Let's Clear the Water

What payments do you accept?
I accept credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal at the standard $280 rate. Cash is welcome and preferred — cash at time of inspection is $260.
How quickly can you schedule an inspection?
I understand that pool inspections are often time-sensitive during a home purchase. I'm available 7 days a week from 9am to 7pm, and many appointments can be scheduled for the next day. I return all calls and texts within 30 minutes during business hours.
Can I be present during the inspection?
Absolutely — I encourage it. It's your future home and pool, and being there gives you the chance to ask questions and see things firsthand.
Do you offer repairs based on your findings?
As per Florida Statutes, I refrain from personally conducting any repairs or offering advice on improvements. A pool inspection is based on observations made on the date of the inspection. After receiving your report, you can discuss findings with your real estate agent to determine the best path forward.
What areas do you serve?
I serve Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota counties. Standard rate is $280 or $260 for cash at time of inspection. This includes communities like Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Bradenton, and Sarasota. A $20 service fee applies for inspections over an hour from Bradenton, and a $35 fee for same-day or last-minute requests.
Is this only for home buyers?
Not at all. First-time pool owners, current homeowners concerned about their equipment or water balance, and anyone who just wants peace of mind — an inspection is a smart investment. If your water isn't balanced or your filtration system isn't working properly, you could be putting your family at risk.
