Professional Documentation for Your Claim
When disaster strikes your pool, navigating an insurance claim can be difficult. Most adjusters are not pool experts and may not understand the full extent of the damage. The Pool Sharks provides the technical expertise and detailed reporting needed to ensure your claim accurately reflects the cost of restoring your pool to its original condition.
Expert Reporting
We provide comprehensive reports including photos, damage analysis, and line-item repair estimates for your insurance carrier.
Root Cause Analysis
We identify the exact cause of failure—whether it was a sudden freeze event, lightning strike, or hydrostatic pressure issue.
Common Insurance Assessments We Handle
- Freeze Damage: Evaluating cracked plumbing, pump housings, and filter tanks after a power outage or extreme cold.
- Storm Damage: Assessing structural damage from falling trees, debris impact, or flooding.
- Electrical Failure: Identifying damage from lightning strikes or power surges to automation and heaters.
- Hydrostatic Events: Evaluating pool shell shifting or "popping" due to high groundwater tables.
Before You Hire a Pool Inspector, Ask These Three Questions.
A company’s service list does not tell you the construction experience of the person arriving at your property. For a concrete or gunite pool inspection, ask about the assigned inspector’s firsthand building and renovation background.
Do you build swimming pools?
Ask whether the company has firsthand experience constructing concrete or gunite pools from the ground up.
Do you remodel swimming pools?
Ask about substantial renovation experience involving coping, waterline tile, interior finishes, plumbing, and equipment—not simply routine cleaning or equipment replacement.
How many pools has my assigned inspector personally built or remodeled?
Ask about the individual who will perform your inspection. What was their role? How many projects have they worked on? Over how many years?
Why This Matters
Routine pool service develops valuable knowledge of water chemistry, circulation, and equipment operation. Construction and substantial renovation experience bring additional perspective on how the pool shell, coping, tile, movement joints, finishes, deck, and plumbing were installed—and how those components interact.
An experienced builder or renovation professional can apply that background when evaluating observed conditions and recommending further investigation.
What to Look For
Look for substantial, directly relevant experience in concrete or gunite pool construction and renovation. Ask for specific project examples and a clear explanation of the inspector’s responsibilities.
Our preferred benchmark is experience across more than 50 construction and substantial renovation projects, ideally including both new builds and remodels. An extensive renovation background spanning five or more years can also be relevant. Project counts and years are useful screening questions; they are not professional certifications or guarantees of inspection quality.
