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.

Very detailed and super easy to work with. I had some concerns with what was on the inspection report, rang up the inspector and he was happy to walk me through what he meant by everything so that I understood what was written and what needs to happen after the fact.

Will definitely be using these guys again in the future.

I recently used Dedant Building and Pest Inspections Brisbane for a pre-purchase inspection and had a great experience.

Steve was great, he checked all the important details around the property and gave us clear, honest feedback. He explained what we should take care of before moving ahead and what might need attention over the next few years.

Thanks to the Dedant team for the professionalism and attention to detail. We’d happily recommend them! 🙂

Highly recommend. Dedant were very easy to deal with and professional which when you are requiring their services for tight property contract conditions gives you confidence in who you are dealing with and that they will deliver as promised. Chris was incredibly helpful in making the time available to go through the property inspection report in detail and ensuring that I understood the key findings. Will be using again for my next property.

From the beginning Dedant made it so easy for us to book our building and pest inspection within the timeframe we needed. Stephen was great and really helped ease our minds with this being our first ever time having to do a building and pest inspection and not really knowing what to expect or what certain findings meant. He also got the whole report to us within the same day, which was just amazing!

We had a great experience with dedant. The receptionist was extremely helpful, informative and friendly as I had never booked a pest inspection before. It was great that we could get the building and pest along with asbestos check all at the same time. Our inspector was also very informative and friendly and I feel he did a through inspection. We would happily use dedant again and would recommend them to others. Thank you dedant team for making this easy for us!

Dedant completed a building and pest inspection for me in April 2026 and they were incredible. Super easy to deal with, showed up on time and took the time to show us the issues he found including finding a major defect which we didn’t see during our house inspections. Cant recommend Dedant building and pest inspections enough.

We contacted Dedant to do a pre-purchase building and pest inspection for us and with a tight timeframe they were able to schedule us in for the very next day. Stephen did our inspection and he was very friendly, extremely thorough & took the time after to explain any findings/recommendations to us and answer any questions we had. The entire process from start to finish was seamless and they really offer such a competitive price given the outstanding level of service you get. I would not hesitate to book them again and will recommend them to my friends who are looking to purchase in the future. Thanks so much Stephen & the Dedant team!

I went to this company solely on the google reviews and that proved to be the best decision. The company gets 5 stars from me for the 3Ps (price, professionalism, and punctuality). The inspector was an experienced and expert one who did a fantastic job. The communication post inspection was exceptional too. Overall, they've gained one more loyal customer.
