Equipment Diagnostics

Something is wrong with the equipment but you do not know what. We diagnose the actual fault, document it with photos, and give you a written quote with parts pricing — separate from any repair work.

FAQ

Common questions about this inspection.

My pump is loud and I think it is the motor. Why pay $159?

Because half the time it is not the motor. Bearings, impeller damage, and stuck check valves all sound like a bad motor. The diagnostic prevents a $1,200 unnecessary motor swap.

Will you tell me to fix something I do not need?

No. We document what is broken and what is not. The report goes to you, not to a sales pipeline. If we hire you a fix, the inspection fee credits toward the work.

Do you diagnose every brand?

Pentair, Jandy: full authorized diagnostics. Hayward: yes. Sta-Rite, Polaris, Aqualink: yes for repair-track diagnostics, retrofit recommendations when honest. Older off-brand units we will tell you up front if a diagnostic is worth the $159.
