What Is a Pool Inspection?
A swimming pool inspection is a systematic evaluation of all pool components including structure, finishes, equipment, plumbing, electrical systems, safety barriers, and compliance with regulations.
This comprehensive assessment identifies existing problems, predicts maintenance requirements, estimates remaining component lifespans, and provides detailed documentation for decision-making.
• Structural Integrity Assessment We examine pool shells for cracks, movement, leaks, and deterioration. Structural problems require immediate attention to prevent expensive failures.
• Surface & Finish Evaluation Pool surfaces are assessed for condition, remaining life, and performance. We identify whether painting, resurfacing, or repairs are needed.
• Equipment Testing & Analysis All equipment is operated and tested. We assess pumps, filters, heaters, chlorinators, automation, lighting, and identify efficiency, safety concerns, or replacement needs.
• Plumbing & Hydraulic Review Water flow, pressure, drainage, and plumbing condition are evaluated. Problems affecting circulation or causing water loss are identified and documented.
• Safety Compliance Verification Barriers, fencing, gates, latches, and zones are checked against Sydney council requirements. Non-compliance creates liability and requires correction.
Whether you need pre-purchase inspections or existing pool assessments, our thorough evaluations provide the information you need for confident decisions.

Pool Paint Colours: How to Choose the Perfect Shade for Your Backyard
A guide to choosing pool paint colours. Covers how different colours look underwater, which shades work with each surface type, how sunlight and surroundings affect the result, and what to consider before committing to a colour.

Green Pool After Rain: Why It Happens and How to Fix It
Rain dilutes chlorine, lowers pH and alkalinity, and washes in debris and phosphates, so a pool can turn green within 24 to 48 hours. Learn why it happens, how to read the colour, the step-by-step fix, how to prevent it before the next storm, and when to call a professional.

Pool Coping Repair: What Causes Coping to Crack, When to Repair vs Replace, and the Materials That Last Longest in Sydney
Pool coping is the material that caps the top edge of your pool shell. It is the visible border between the pool water and the surrounding deck, and it serves a structural, waterproofing, and safety function that most pool owners do not think about until it starts to fail. Cracked coping, loose coping stones, coping that has separated from the pool shell, and coping with deteriorated mortar joints are not just cosmetic issues. Damaged coping allows water behind the pool shell, creates trip hazards around the pool edge, and accelerates damage to the surrounding paving and the pool structure underneath.

I had a pool painter who ended up to be not a pool painter at all. Ray came in and took over. His meticulous work, his ethics was a breath of fresh air. I can not stress enough if you want your pool rejuvenated Ray is the man to do it. Please look no furtherPosted on Google![]()
Roger BaylissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I have no hesitation in strongly endorsing Ray from Advance Pool Painting. Ray has just completed a refurbishment of our apartment pool and apart from delivering a most professional finish, Ray has called back twice to satisfy 'extra' requests from residents - promptly and without any reaction to what was an obvious inconvenience. It is rarely I have dealt with such an efficient, friendly and co-operative contractor. Thank you Ray and I wish you every success in operating a great business.
