Pre-Purchase Swimming Pool Inspection
What is a Pre-purchase swimming pool inspection?
Service area Logan | Redlands | Ipswich | Brisbane
If you are purchasing a home with a swimming pool, a pre-purchase inspection of the swimming pool can save you from surprises later.
A pre-purchase pool inspection can save you headaches by identifying any major issues with the structure or equipment. This is a visual inspection of the pool surface to ascertain the condition, the pool coping (the edging that surrounds the pool) the pool equipment and water balance.
Swimming pools can have a range of finishes / surfaces that wear at different rates. Just like your home, the pool surface might need renovating or maintenance over time.
When a house with a pool is bought or sold in Queensland, there are legal obligations. QBCC is the governing body on this, and provide information on this topic here.
Dedant can help with this.
Dedant Building and Pest Inspections can generally organise a swimming pool inspection with a swimming pool expert at the same time as the house inspection to save time. You are welcome to attend and discuss the findings with the inspector.

What people say about Dedant
Thank you so much. I ‘ll definitely recommend.
The inspection itself was thorough yet efficient. Our inspector, Rick, was not only knowledgeable but also very friendly and professional. He arrived early, allowing us to start ahead of schedule, which was a great bonus. Rick also reassured us by letting us know we could contact him with any questions about the report—a gesture we really appreciated.
The report was completed promptly, arriving just a few hours after the inspection. We were extremely impressed with the entire process and would definitely recommend Dedant Building and Pest Brisbane to others. We would be happy to use their services again in the future!
Rick was amazing!
He was very thorough with his inspection and explained everything to us and even gave advice on extra questions we had. 10/10 service ❤️
A proper B&P inspection requires three key things:
1. Experience
2. Proper tools for inspection
3. Willingness to do a thorough job.
Greg from Dedant had all three of them. Thanks to his efforts in not just doing the inspection but also in explaining those issues to me.
I did make contact with the Inspector after but then after asking a further question he did not reply to me.
I will highly recommend Dedant.
Thank you again for your excellent service.
Thank you Dedant!
Our pre-purchase building and pest inspection was conducted by Stephen. He arrived on time and did a great job getting into all nooks and crannies of our future house. Then he spent some time with us pointing out the most important major issues, explaining them in detail and answering all our questions.
The report was delivered the same day and was easy to understand, we’ll definitely use it as a todo list in the future.
Thank you for your work guys, I can’t recommend you highly enough!
A comprehensive report together with photos were excellent.
A great and professional attitude in assisting the customer towards achieving their requirements before purchasing home and property.
Thank you.
