Swimming Pool Inspections For Home Buyers in NJ
A swimming pool can be one of the best features of a property, but it also includes equipment, electrical components, plumbing, safety features, and structural elements that should be carefully evaluated. A professional pool inspection can help identify visible concerns and provide a better understanding of the condition of the pool and its major components.

Our inspections focus on accessible pool components and systems to help you make informed decisions about the property.
Pool Inspections
Understand What You’re Diving Into Before You Buy
Mold is not always obvious during a visual inspection. While some mold growth may be visible, moisture and mold can also be present in areas that are difficult to access or show few outward signs of a problem. Mold testing can provide additional information when there are concerns about moisture, musty odors, previous water damage, or suspected mold growth. Lighthouse Home Inspection provides professional mold testing to help buyers, sellers, and homeowners better understand conditions within the property.
What is included in a pool inspection?

Is a pool inspection included with a standard home inspection?
Pool inspections are typically offered as an additional service and can be scheduled along with your home inspection.
