Asked for a safety check before the grandkids visited. They found an expired drain cover and a gate latch that was not self-closing. Both fixed the same week, and we got the list in writing.

Pool safety inspection in Winter Park
The parts that aren’t about the water: drain covers, bonding, GFCI and the gate.
Signs you need it
When to call about safety inspection
You just bought a house with a pool
Nobody knows what the last owner checked.
Children are visiting
Grandkids, neighbors or a new baby.
It has never been checked
Most pools haven’t been, and that’s normal.

How we do it
The honest version of safety inspection
Drain covers have an expiry date
Approved covers are stamped with one. An expired or missing cover on a single-drain pool is the single most serious thing we find, and we’ll tell you the day we find it.
Bonding and GFCI
Continuity on the bonding grid, and a GFCI that actually trips when tested. Both get checked; neither gets assumed.
Barriers and gates
Self-closing, self-latching, latch height, and gaps a small child fits through. We write down what we found, including what we couldn’t check.
Step by step
What happens on the visit
Drain covers
Present, secure and in date.
Bonding and GFCI
Tested, not assumed.
Gates and barriers
Latches, closers and gaps measured.
Written findings
What we found, and what to fix first.
What it costs
What decides the price
No surprise lines. Every job is quoted in writing, and nothing is done until you reply.
What we look at
- The number of drains and gates
- Whether an attached spa is included
- Any fixes, quoted separately
How you’re quoted
In writing, with the reading or the pressure that made us recommend it. Approve all of it, some of it, or none of it.
The inspection is a written check of what we found on the day. It isn’t a permit inspection or a legal certificate.
Reviews
What customers say about our safety inspection
We bought a house with a pool and had no idea what any of the equipment did. Marcus walked us round the whole pad, labeled the valves and set up a weekly day. Worth it for that alone.
Straight answers
Safety inspection: questions
What is the most serious thing you find?
An expired or missing drain cover on a single-drain pool. We’ll tell you the same day.
Is this a legal certificate?
No. It’s our written check of what we found. For a permit or a sale, your county or your inspector has the final word.
How long does it take?
About an hour for a typical backyard pool with one gate.
