Pool inspections Canberra

Pool inspections, before you commit.

A full check of the pool and its equipment with a written summary. Popular with buyers, new owners and anyone who has inherited a pool they do not understand yet.

Clear water on inspection day tells you almost nothing. A pool inspection from Billy’s Pools covers the pump, filter, chlorinator, plumbing, skimmers, returns, the pool surface and the waterline, plus a full water test, and you get it all back in plain English. It is the cheapest way to find out whether the pool you are buying is an asset or a project.

Pre purchase pool inspections

Pool equipment is expensive and a pool that has been neglected can be dressed up for a single open home. We inspect before you sign, so you know whether you are inheriting a healthy pool or a pump, filter and resurfacing bill.

  • Full equipment condition check
  • Water tested on site
  • Written summary the same day
  • Plain English, no jargon

What a pool inspection does not cover, Canberra

What a pool inspection does not cover

We inspect the pool and its equipment. We are not certifiers, so pool barrier and fencing compliance in the ACT is a separate process handled by a licensed inspector, and structural or resurfacing assessment is a builder’s job. We will tell you when you need one of those rather than guess.

Common questions

Pool inspections questions, answered

What is included in a pool inspection?
A full walk around of the pool and its equipment: pump, filter, chlorinator, plumbing, skimmers, returns and the pool surface and waterline, plus a full water test. You get a written summary of what is working, what needs watching and what needs fixing.
I am buying a house with a pool. Can you inspect it before I sign?
Yes. A pre purchase pool inspection is one of the cheapest checks you can do on a property, because pool equipment is expensive and problems are easy to hide behind clear looking water on inspection day.
Is this the same as an ACT pool barrier or fence inspection?
No. We inspect the pool and its equipment, not the safety barrier certification. Pool fencing compliance in the ACT is a separate process and we will point you in the right direction if that is what you need.
How long does an inspection take?
Usually under an hour on a standard backyard pool, and you get the written summary the same day.
