A swimming pool can be one of the largest investments you make as a homeowner. Purchasing a home with a swimming pool or spa sounds exciting, but unknown problems could end up costing you thousands of dollars in repairs down the road. Before you purchase a home with a pool or spa, make sure you get a pool inspection to insure that you and your investment are protected.

If problems are discovered during your pool or spa inspection, you will be able to make a price adjustment to your offer based upon any work that might be required to restore the pool to good operating condition. Having money held in escrow to cover repair costs is an easy way to address any concerns that may have come up during the inspection.
