How Guardian Angel Inspections Supports Drowning Prevention?

1. Comprehensive Pool Safety Inspections

Our home safety inspections for pools are exhaustive and cover all aspects of pool safety. We evaluate the condition of pool barriers, gates, and alarms, ensuring they meet Florida's stringent safety standards. Our inspectors look for any gaps or weaknesses in fencing that could allow unsupervised access to the pool area.

Elements Covered in Our Pool Safety Inspections:

• Fencing and Barriers: We check the height, condition, and security of pool fencing. Florida law requires barriers to be at least four feet high with no gaps a child could slip through.
• Gates and Latches: Gates should be self-closing and self-latching. We ensure that latches are high enough to be out of reach of young children.
• Pool Alarms: We inspect the functionality of pool alarms, which are crucial for alerting homeowners to unauthorized access.
• Pool Covers: We examine the condition and operation of pool covers, which can prevent accidental submersion.
• Drain Safety: Our team checks the pool's drain covers to ensure they comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, reducing the risk of entrapment.
