Usually not in any real depth. General home inspectors typically check that pool equipment powers on, but don't specialize in VGB drain cover compliance, barrier code requirements, or entrapment hazards. If you're closing on a home with a pool, a dedicated pool inspection alongside your standard home inspection is the only way to know the pool's real condition before it's yours.
The VGB Act's anti-entrapment drain cover requirement is federal law. Beyond that, specific fencing and barrier rules can vary by city and HOA, so it's worth checking your local code. Whether or not an inspection is strictly required for your situation, it's the fastest way to know where you actually stand before an issue — or a recalled part — becomes a real hazard.
You'll get a detailed report showing exactly what needs attention and why. If a drain cover is recalled or non-compliant, we can replace it with a VGB-compliant cover, with same-day service available and a 1-year warranty on parts and labor. There's no obligation to book the fix through us — the report is yours either way.
