Good to know: Pool/spa and irrigation checks are included with a full home inspection as a visual, operational review — they are not a specialized pool-equipment tear-down or a full irrigation-zone audit.
Who it’s for
- Buyers under contract who want to understand a home’s real condition before closing

What’s not included
- It is a visual inspection — we do not open walls, move stored belongings, or dismantle equipment
- We do not predict future failures or provide cost-to-repair estimates
- Specialized testing (mold/air quality, water, WDO/termite) is separate — see those services
- It is not a code-compliance inspection or a warranty on the home

Questions about Home Inspection
How long does a home inspection take?
Most take 2–3 hours or more, depending on the home’s size, age, and condition. Larger or older homes take longer.
Should I attend?
You’re welcome to. Many buyers join for the last part of the inspection so we can walk the key findings together in person.
When do I get the report?
Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours through the Hive platform, with photos and clear summaries.
Do you inspect the pool?
Yes — pool/spa equipment is included as a visual, operational check when you book a full inspection. A specialized pool-equipment inspection is a different scope.
