Pool Inspections By Howard
About
You may know that the home inspector does not generally inspect the backyard swimming pool. I'm Howard Weiss, and I can help. I am Certified, Trained, and Licensed to inspect your clients’ pools. With over 35 years in the industry, I can help protect your interests.
The inspection is informative and supportive in the benefits of owning a swimming pool as part of the new home sale. I can usually schedule the pool inspection at the same time as the home inspection so that everyone only needs to make one visit to the new home. The process typically takes 1 to 1 1⁄2 hours. You will receive a comprehensive written report outlining the details and features of the pool and its equipment along with photos.
For most clients, this will be their first pool. If your client is present, I can also explain the general operation and functional aspects of the pool, and give my overall impressions of the pool’s condition while I am there.
