Inspections

Pre gunite and pre plaster inspections

Phoenix conducts two inspections on new pools: pre gunite and pre plaster.

This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.

The two inspections

Phoenix says pre gunite and pre plaster inspections check that pools comply with life safety provisions, including barriers.

Pre plaster

Barrier fences are inspected at pre plaster. If the house wall is part of the barrier, the house must be open for the inspector, and an adult must be present if belongings or minors are in the home.

Plan ahead

A failed barrier can delay plaster, so finish doors, latches, and gates first.

Ask about your Ahwatukee yard

Say the neighborhood or ZIP code, the yard size, and whether the lot slopes or backs onto open desert.
