These statements go in every report that has a pool whether I inspect it or not (modified for the pool in picture) According to The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, thousands of deaths occur each year due to drowning or submersion. The majority of aquatic accidents occur in backyard swimming pools. While both children and adults alike are victims of pool accidents, residential swimming pools are the second leading cause of death of children under 14 years of age. Statistics from the Consumer Product Safety Commission indicate spas and whirlpools are also frequent scenes of child death and injury. In addition to deaths, each year thousands more swimming pool accident victims are treated in hospital emergency rooms for submersion and near drowning. Alcohol-related injuries in and around swimming pools are quite common. A variety of pool equipment such as diving boards contribute to other pool mishaps. Aside from death, diving accidents are among the most serious and can result in spinal cord injury, causing permanent neurological injuries. Diving or falling into the shallow (not designed for diving) swimming pool may result in severe injury or death. The immediate installation of guardrail fall protection at the elevated areas outlined in RED and posting of NO DIVING signage is advised by this inspector. Required must read Information for your report to be complete: http://www.adairinspection.com/Pool-SpaSafety This may all seem extreme to some readers but I have a childhood friend that suffered spinal cord injury (SCI) at age 17, as a direct result from a pool like this, he's been in a wheelchair for the past 37 years with many health complications. SCI complications is what did in Superman Christopher Reeve Our nephew drowned at age 3 in his backyard pool badair ADAIR INSPECTION 972-487-5634 Residential-Commercial-Construction-EIFS-Infrared Thermography TREC # 4563 EDI: EIFS-MA TX # 39 2008 US Member of the Year life is the random lottery of events followed by numerous narrow escapes...accept the good Last edited by badair; 7/12/08 at 6:50 AM.. |

I have always been around pools and installed one of my own the year my 1st daughter was born.
Inground pool with a gradient depth of 3 to 5 feet. Pool Rule..... No Diving and NO Children without Adult Supervision. Served me well and has worked for my girls now 9 and 11. I am always amazed at how many Parents comment that I will not allow my children to swim unattended in their own backyard. Joseph P. Hagarty joseph.hagarty@comcast.net Main Line Inspections, Inc.

That would be a "non-issue" in my book Barry. The "fall" into the water from that level, as compared to the other side, will result in the same consequences - you will get wet.
Common pool safety should be an adequate recommendation. . . IF YOUR INSPECTOR IS NOT USING THERMAL IMAGING, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE WHOLE PICTURE ℠ Jeff PopeJPI Home Inspection Service Santa Clarita CA (661) 212-0738 Santa Clarita Home Inspection http://www.MyInspector.net |
