Pools and spas are among the most sought-after residential features in Florida today, as well as one of the most appreciated. If you are lucky enough to own a home with one or are considering purchasing or selling one with these features, there is a vital professional service you simply cannot do without: a pool and spa inspection. While not legally required of residential homeowners, this is a very popular, affordable professional service that can pay for itself because of the costly problems it helps to prevent and the added confidence it provides.
Why Pool And Spa Inspections Are So Important
They can require a significant investment of both time and money to maintain properly. These features need regular cleaning, maintenance, and due diligence. If these duties are overlooked, performed incorrectly, or neglected, these water elements can be even more expensive to repair. They can also become a hazard and lower the home's property value. This proactive step can ward off repair costs, prevent accidents, eliminate potentially dangerous conditions, and minimize the aggravation.
This is just as important if you intend to sell your home, as it can allow you to take care of issues before the sale or let the buyer know what can be required on their behalf. For prospective buyers, an inspection ensures that you know exactly what you are buying. Real estate experts highly recommend inspections. Appearances can be deceiving. It might look great but have concealed or unknown issues. It is imperative to go beyond that initial visual impression to ensure that everything is structurally sound, in compliance with local codes, and that equipment is functioning properly.
