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.
