This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
A pool inspector looks over the pool or spa and the equipment that runs it: the surface and coping, the deck around it, the pump, the filter, the heater if there is one, the lights, the drains and the gates or fencing around the water. Where the equipment can be run safely, the inspector turns it on to see whether it works. The findings go in a report, often as part of the home inspection report.
A standard home inspection often leaves the pool out or covers it only briefly, which is why many inspectors sell the pool check as an add-on. A pool inspection is also not leak detection. Finding where a pool loses water takes other equipment and is usually a separate service.
What moves the price
- Spa or hot tub
- Some quotes price the pool and spa as one check and others list the spa as its own line, so a quote that looks low may leave the spa out.
- Heaters and automation
- A heater, a salt cell and automated controls each have to be run and checked where that is safe, so an equipment pad with all of them takes longer than a pump and filter alone.
- In-ground or above-ground
- Some inspectors price an above-ground pool lower than an in-ground one, and some inspect only in-ground pools, so ask before you book.
- Closed for the season
- A covered or winterized pool cannot be fully run and checked, so ask whether the price changes and what the report will leave out.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each home inspector before you compare prices:
- Does the price cover the spa or hot tub as well as the pool?
- Will you run the pump, the filter and the heater, or only look at them?
- What can you check if the pool is covered or closed for the season?
- Will the pool findings be in the same report as the home inspection?
- Do you check the fencing and gates around the pool?
