You'll receive a detailed report outlining what needs to be fixed. You then have up to 60 days to make the changes and book a re-inspection.
How do I know if my pool is ready for inspection?+
If you're unsure, consider a pre-inspection consultation to identify potential issues before the official visit.
How often do I need a pool fence inspection?+
