The deliverable

The report is the product.

Not a scribbled quote on a business card. A structured document built from the same template our technicians complete on site, so what you read is exactly what was checked.

  • Every system rated on a six-point scale, from Serviceable through to Failed, with nothing hidden behind vague wording.
  • Photo evidence beside the findings. If we flag a cracked coping stone or a corroded roller bracket, you see the photo of it.
  • Safety flags collected up front. Barrier and suction items are pulled onto the summary page so the serious things surface first.
  • Plain-English comments written by the technician who stood at your equipment pad, not assembled from a phrase bank.
  • Repair pricing on request. Because we install and repair this gear ourselves, findings can turn into an itemised quote, with no obligation.

No weasel words

Six ratings. Zero ambiguity.

Serviceable Fair, monitor Repair or replace Failed Not tested Not present

Serviceable means it worked on the day, and we define that in the report. If something couldn't be tested, we say so and explain why, rather than guessing in either direction.

Safety & compliance, told straight

Honest about the rules.

Pool inspections in WA sit inside real legislation and real Australian Standards. We work to them, reference them in the report, and never pretend a private report is something the law says it isn't.

In WA there is no private pool-barrier certificate. Statutory barrier inspections belong to your local government, at least every four years. Anyone selling you a "compliance certificate" is selling paper. We give you documented observations against the Standard, which is exactly what a buyer can act on.

Barrier checked against AS 1926.1

Gates, latches, climb zones and door concessions observed against the edition that applies to your pool's age, under the Building Regulations 2012 (WA).

Point-of-sale rules flagged

WA requires at least two RCDs protecting the home's circuits before title transfers. If we can't sight them, that lands in your report before settlement, not after.

Licensed limits respected

Electrical and gas items are visual observations only. Testing and certification belong to licensed electricians and gas fitters, and the report says so on every relevant line.

Suction safety benchmarked

Drains, covers and water-recirculation points reviewed with AS 1926.3 as the benchmark, because entrapment risk is not a cosmetic item.

Report framed properly

Written to the same convention as AS 4349.1 property reports: documented observations on the day, clearly scoped, never passed off as a certificate of compliance.

Standards named, not implied

Where a Standard applies, the report cites it. Where none exists, we tell you that too. There is no Australian Standard for pre-purchase pool inspections, which is exactly why our template leaves nothing to improvisation.

Facts current against WA Building and Energy and Consumer Protection guidance. Statutory barrier inspections remain the role of local government.

Good to know

Inspections, answered.

What does the inspection actually cover?+
Eighteen sections covering the pool structure and interior finish, coping and surrounds, skimmers and suction points, every pump on site, filtration, chlorination, heating, lighting, cleaning systems, covers, automation, the safety barrier, an on-site water test and a full summary. Over 550 individual checkpoints, each one ticked, rated and photographed where relevant.
Is this a barrier compliance certificate?+
No, and in WA no private company can issue one. Statutory barrier inspections are carried out by your local government at least every four years under the Building Regulations 2012. What we provide is a detailed set of observations against AS 1926.1, photographed and documented, which tells you the practical state of the barrier on the day. We'd rather explain that honestly than sell you paper that means nothing.
How long does it take, and when do I get the report?+
Most residential inspections take around one to two hours on site depending on the equipment fitted. The report is completed from the same digital sheet the technician works through at the property, and is typically in your inbox within one business day. If you're up against a settlement or auction deadline, tell us when you book and we'll work to it.
Can you inspect a pool before I've bought the house?+
Yes, that's the most common booking. We arrange access through your selling agent the same way a building inspector does. It can run alongside your building and pest inspection, and covers the one asset those reports barely touch.
What happens if you find problems?+
The finding is rated, photographed and explained in plain English, so you can negotiate with facts. Because we install and repair pool equipment ourselves, we can also put an itemised price on fixing anything we found, with no obligation to use us. Either way you'll know what it costs before it's your problem.
What does an inspection cost?+
A flat quoted price in AUD including GST, confirmed when you book. No surprises based on what we find, and the report, photos and follow-up call are all included.
