Pre-Purchase Swimming Pool Inspection
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 Building and Pest Inspections can generally organise a swimming pool inspection at the same time as the house inspection to save time. You are welcome to attend and discuss the findings with the inspector.
The swimming pool inspector will inspect the following and provide a written report.
- Pool surface – interior of pool will be visually checked for cracks, stains, blackspot and osmosis.
- Pool Coping – the coping will be checked for cracks and degrading
- Waterline Tiles – checked for cracked or missing tiles and calcium deposits
- Main Drain – condition will be checked and cover
- Pool pump – condition and operation checked
- Pool filter – condition and operation checked
- Chlorinator – condition and operation checked
- Lights – Operation checked
- Eyeballs – Condition checked
- Cleaner – Condition checked
- Pool gate – checked to see if it is self closing and self latching
- CPR sign – check that it is current and compliant
- Water balance – levels checked
Contact the friendly team at Dedant Building and Pest Inspections to organise your swimming pool inspection.

Dedant did a very thorough inspection. Had some difficulty getting in touch with the guy who... actually performed the inspection but he did call back and run through it with me. Im sure would be much better if I was able to be there in person but being interstate at the time and only the report to go off does make it seem like the house is ready for demolition lol. But at least they pointed everything out so would use them again but try and be there.read more

When buying a house or apartment with impending deadlines it is so important to get someone... responsive and prompt who does it right the first time. Dedant was onto it from the word go. Turn around was extremely quick, and the reporting was easy to read and thorough. 6 stars if I could give an extra.It was an excellent price, and even if it was more expensive, I'd still be happy to go with them knowing the quality of work.Keep it up!read more

I used Dedant Building and Pest Inspections after my solicitor recommended them for a pre-purchase... inspection. I'm so glad I used them, Natalie and Rob were extremely helpful through the whole process. Natalie was very professional and took care of the booking and contacted the real estate on my behalf. Natalie took the time to explain the process and make sure I understood what was included and what to expect. The report was extremely thorough with some good recommendations. I wanted clarifications for some areas of the report, so called the inspector Rob. Rob was so nice and took the time to explain everything to me and answer my questions. Overall he was a top bloke!Their pricing was also very fair. Would definitely recommend this business and their services.read more

Hi guys, thanks for working with us and being so prompt in compiling our report. I liked the way... the report was set out because it was easy to read and clear about the issues I needed to worry about and what not to. Over the years in my work as a solicitor I have read a quite a few of these reports some of which are so dense it leaves you wondering what is really important and what is not.
