Pools and spas are expensive to maintain, so if you’re buying a house that comes with one you’ll want to make sure you understand the condition of it before closing the deal. Although this type of inspection is an additional cost to the already expensive price of buying a home, it can save you thousands of dollars in the long run and could even be used to renegotiate a lower price on the home if the inspector finds considerable damage. Even if the pool/spa inspection comes back perfect and everything is in proper working order, you’ll have the peace of mind that your family can enjoy it safely and you don’t need to worry about any costly repairs in the near future.
