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.

I was recommended to dedant in 2017 for a building and pest report and have gone onto use them for... termite barrier protection, annual inspections and another building and pest. Super easy to make bookings and a fair price. They work well by email and phone. The thing I would change is that I do want the inspector to try harder to reach the roof the house is 2 storeys and the inspector never manages to reach that high. Same thing with the crawl space under the house. Most of it is >40cm, but some of it might be less & the inspector doesn't try to inspect underneath.read more

The inspector turned up on time and met all requirements of the real estate and current owner.... Walked me through some of the issues he found and helped me to understand the implications. I was disappointed with the report, but I think that is a common feeling for me with all pre-purchase inspection reports. A 64-page report that really only provided me with some good information but always seemed to be followed by a recommendation to have an expert in a particular aspect of construction before purchase. Clearly this absolves the inspector of absolutely any accountability for issues found after purchase. There were 17 pages in the report which were terms and conditions and detracted from the report content. I'd like to see those T&Cs in a separate document (perhaps before engaging the provider) so I could focus on the information specific to my property in the report.read more

Having built and lived continuously in my first home for 34 years, I now found myself as being... technically a first home buyer at 59 years of age. Dedant Building and Pest Inspections was recommended by my real estate agent for a pre-purchase inspection. From the first time I rang Dedant Building and Pest Inspections to explain the process, they organised everything professionally from the competitive quote to the inspection to the report. They confirmed the date and time of the inspection which suited. I was unable to attend the inspection, but they arranged for my real estate agent to be there on my behalf and who rang me immediately after the inspection and gave me complete reassurance the inspection was done in a very thorough manner. Brian, the inspector, rang me personally first thing the next day to go over his inspection and explained his findings in detail and answered any questions or concerns I had in detail. He took the time to make me feel very confident about the property and went as far as saying, a very well maintained property and moving forward with the usual ongoing maintenance would be a lovely home and surrounds for many years to come. The fully comprehensive report arrived soon after. Thanks to Dedant Building and Pest Inspections, Brian for your professionalism. Would happily recommend your company and your service.
