Why Certify with My Pool Safety Inspector?
Pool safety regulations can be complicated and difficult to understand. Unfortunately the regulations between each State can also be different. We make the process of getting certified easy by translating the legal jargon into plain english. In the event your pool barrier is non-compliant, we don't just identify the problem, we provide you with a practical solutions to achieve compliance. We can even speak directly with your selected repairer or handyman to achieve pool compliance for your convinience. Let us help you make pool compliance stress free so you can focus on the more important things in life.
Sometimes being told your pool barrier is non-compliant can be hard to hear, however being non-compliant because of a minor issue (which is relatively easy to fix) is not fair. Some inspector's during or at the end of their inspection process may draw the line and deprive you of the opportunity to fix any minor issues. My Pool Safety Inspector will work with you and give you a fair opportunity to fix minor issues during your inspection, thereby maximising your chances of getting compliant the first time. Our inspector's also carry CPR Signs to ensure you don't fail compliance just because of signage.
Almost everyone has had a bad experience with a tradie or a home visit service which either results in a no show or turns up significantly late. Time wasted which you will never get back. We understand your time is precious, which is why we promise to arrive within 15 minutes of your booking otherwise you receive a 20% discount. We also offer flexible appointment times outside of normal work hours, so that you don't have to take time off work to let us do our job. We can also perform our inspections when nobody is home. Access via a side gate to your pool area is sufficient and we can even help you lock up after.
