Pre-purchase pool inspections for home buyers. Detailed shell, equipment, and plumbing assessment with written report.
Buying a home with a pool in Northeast Florida? Sawgrass Construction Solutions Leak Detection provides comprehensive pre-purchase pool inspections that uncover hidden issues before you close — saving buyers thousands in unexpected repair costs after move-in.
Our pool inspection covers everything: shell condition, tile and coping, deck and bond beam, skimmers, main drains, pool lights, pump, filter, heater, salt cell or chlorinator, and full plumbing pressure test. You get a written report with photos, condition ratings, and estimated remaining service life on every component.
Most home inspectors don't perform a true pool inspection — they note visible issues only. Hidden problems like underground plumbing leaks, failing bond beams, or undersized equipment can cost $5,000-$25,000 to fix after closing. A dedicated pool inspection typically pays for itself many times over by giving you negotiating leverage or letting you walk away from a money-pit pool.
A complete pool inspection takes 2-3 hours on site. We provide the written report within 24 hours, in time for inspection-period contingency deadlines. Rush inspections are available if your closing timeline is tight.
Our standard pool inspection is $295-$450 depending on pool size and equipment complexity. That's a fraction of what an undetected major issue would cost after closing. We accept payment at the inspection or via your title company at closing.
Yes. For older pools we pay extra attention to systems that fail with age — original PVC plumbing, cast-iron drain lines, vintage pool light niches, and bond beams. We've inspected pools across Northeast Florida for 40+ years and know the typical failure patterns by build era.
Yes — but a full plumbing pressure test requires the pool to be filled. For empty pools we focus on shell, tile, equipment, and any visible plumbing, and recommend a follow-up plumbing test once the pool is filled if you proceed with purchase.

Is a pool inspection different from a home inspection?
Yes. Most home inspectors only note obvious visible issues with the pool. A dedicated pool inspection includes pressure testing, equipment evaluation, and shell assessment by a licensed pool professional — much more thorough.
Will the seller need to be present?
No. We coordinate access with the listing agent and can perform the inspection without buyer or seller on site, though you're welcome to attend.
Can the inspection report be used for negotiation?
Absolutely. Our written reports are designed to be shared with realtors and used as negotiating documentation for repair credits or price reductions.
