Why get inspected before the DOH does
Avoid a surprise closure
A failed inspection can mean an immediate pool closure — bad news for a board, a property manager, or a hotel with guests on-site.
Plain-language findings
No jargon-heavy citation codes — just a clear list of what needs fixing and why, so a board or manager can actually act on it.
No strings attached
This is a genuinely free inspection. You're not obligated to use us for the fixes, though we're happy to quote them if you want one vendor handling both.
Frequently asked questions
Is the inspection really free, with no obligation?
Yes. We walk the property, hand you a plain-language checklist of anything that needs attention, and there's no requirement to sign up for ongoing service afterward.
Who is this for?
HOAs, condo and apartment associations, hotels, restaurants, gyms, and any commercial or municipal property with a public swimming pool in Broward or Palm Beach County.
