Answer: In some cases Explanation: Fully inspecting a winterized pool can be challenging, as many components may be covered or inaccessible. While you can evaluate the visible parts of the pool, such as the structure and surrounding area, you won't be able to assess the water quality or equipment functionality unless the pool is opened. A partial inspection can identify potential issues, but a complete assessment typically requires the pool to be operational. It's best to schedule a thorough inspection once the pool is reopened for the season.

The plaster can be analyzed for cracks and blemishes but that's about all. | AAA Pool Inspector | Answer: In most cases Explanation: A pool that has been winterized can be inspected. Most customers don’t want to have the expense of opening the pool and then re-winterizing the pool. I always recommend keeping the pool open as long as possible while the home is on the market.
During the winter I will remove the winter cover completely and do a full inspection on the shell, tile, structure and surface. I will turn on any equipment possible and check the operation. Certain pieces of equipment like the heater cannot be run without water running in the system. But I inspect and check the heater for rust, corrosion and signs of leaking or damage. Any damage or leaks are usually evident on the equipment without water running thru the system.
Removal and reinstall of the winter cover because of the extra time involved is an additional $100. | Pool Inspections by Howard | | ProMatcher | Answer: No, never Explanation: No you need complete access | North State Inspections | Answer: No, never Explanation: That would almost be impossible. | Royalty Home Solutions, Inc | Answer: No, never Explanation: You can't see or run filter or examine inside pool | At Ease Home Inspection | | ProMatcher | Answer: No, never Explanation: partial | A & H PROPERTIES | Answer: Not sure Explanation: the pipes, pump, filter can be visable inspected, but once pool has been winterized, then the working part of pool filtration system can not be and should be noted on the report as such | JKM Home Inspections |
