Why Should I Be Home During My Pool Fence Inspection?
If you're booking a pool fence inspection, you might be wondering — Do I really need to be home for it? While it's not always required, we strongly recommend that the property owner or someone familiar with the property is present during the inspection. Here's a few reasons why:
1. Safe Access to the Pool Area
To carry out a thorough pool fence inspection, we need clear and safe access to your pool and surrounding areas. If gates are locked or access is blocked, it can delay the process or even require a rebooking. Being home ensures everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
2. Pet Safety
We love pets — but for everyone's safety (yours, ours, and theirs), it's best that you’re home to manage any animals on the property. Some pets may become anxious or overly protective around strangers, and we want to make sure the inspection is a stress-free experience for all involved.
3. Clear Communication on Any Issues
If your pool fence doesn’t meet compliance, we'll point out the specific areas that need attention and the process to re-inspect. Being on-site allows us to walk you through these items in person, explain why something isn’t compliant, and even suggest practical solutions, and often much clearer than reading a report later! Some issues are very minor and may be able to be resolved on the spot, saving you the hassle and cost of a reinspection.
4. Ask Questions on the Spot
Have questions about pool safety laws, fencing requirements, or how to make your pool area safer for kids and pets? When you’re there during the inspection, you can ask us directly — and get expert answers right away.
In short, being home for your pool fence inspection helps ensure a smooth, safe, and informative process. It also gives you peace of mind knowing exactly what needs to be done (if anything!) to keep your pool area compliant and safe.
