Pool & Spa Inspection
Pool & Spa Inspections in Central Florida
Owning a pool or spa is part of the Florida lifestyle. From relaxing evenings with friends to weekends spent swimming with family, a pool can add both enjoyment and value to your home. But behind the sparkling water, there are many systems that need to be safe, functional, and well-maintained. That’s where a professional pool and spa inspection comes in.
At Full Circle Home Inspectors, we provide detailed pool and spa inspections for buyers, sellers, and current homeowners across Central Florida. Whether you’re purchasing a home with a pool, preparing to sell, or simply ensuring your pool is safe for everyday use, our certified inspectors give you peace of mind.
Why Pool & Spa Inspections Matter
Pools and spas are major investments. A well-maintained pool can add thousands of dollars to a property’s value, while a neglected pool can quickly turn into a costly repair project. Florida’s hot climate, heavy rains, and hurricanes add extra strain on pool systems, making regular inspections even more important.
Here are a few reasons why homeowners and buyers choose pool inspections:
- Safety First – Pools involve electrical systems, pumps, heaters, and safety barriers. An inspection ensures everything is working properly and meets safety standards.
- Insurance Requirements – Some insurers require pool inspections before issuing or renewing coverage.
- Hidden Problems – Cracks, leaks, and malfunctioning equipment may not be obvious but can lead to expensive repairs.
- Buyer Confidence – If you’re buying a home, knowing the true condition of the pool can help you negotiate repairs or adjust your offer.
- Seller Advantage – A pre-listing inspection helps sellers market their home more confidently.

FAQs About Pool & Spa Inspections
Do I need a pool inspection if the water looks clear?
Yes. Clear water doesn’t guarantee that the pool’s equipment, structure, or electrical systems are functioning properly. Inspections uncover hidden issues you might not notice.
How long does a pool & spa inspection take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on the size of the pool, spa, and complexity of the equipment.
Will you test the water chemistry?
We check water clarity and visible signs of imbalance, but we recommend homeowners also test water chemistry through a certified pool supply store or lab for detailed chemical analysis.
Can a pool inspection help me lower my insurance cost?
Yes, in some cases. Insurance companies may request documentation of pool safety features such as fences, gates, and alarms. Having a professional inspection can support your application.
Should I get a pool inspection if I already own my home?
Our detailed report will outline the issue and recommend repair or replacement. You can use this information to negotiate with sellers, request builder repairs, or hire a contractor.
