Pool & Spa Inspections in Tampa Bay
Pools are one of the best parts of Florida living—but they also come with unique risks. At Forscher Property Inspections, we provide general but comprehensive pool and spa inspections for buyers and homeowners in Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. With 20+ years of experience, we know what problems are most prevalent. Due to the complex nature of a pool, an inspection by a licensed qualified pool professional is recommended but just as we do general inspections of other systems from our general expertise we do the same with pools and if needed we recommend a specialist.

FAQs

Q: How long does it take?
A: Typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on size and equipment.
Q: Do you check for code compliance?
A: No this is specialized and would be part of a specialist inspection but we can note issues that don’t look to be code compliant.
