What should I do today after a tenant slips at a rental pool?
Document the hazard with dated photos and video of the deck, wet area, and any residue or damage. Isolate the area if it is unsafe, then arrange a qualified pool repair or inspection rather than waiting for the next routine service. Keep a written record of every step taken.
What should I check when hiring a pool pro for documented safety work?
Ask for a certified inspection with a written report that describes the deck surfaces and any hazards found. Request a written estimate that specifies the scope of work before anything starts. Pool repair pricing varies with severity, and draining and refilling can add $400 to $1,500.
Why does Lakeway pool maintenance matter for slip risk?
The Austin region has long, hot summers and heavy pool use, which increase wear and chemical demand. Routine checks of wet decks and poolside walking areas are especially important in this climate. Texas rules say public pools and spas must be maintained under a properly trained and certified operator.
What to do next
- Photograph and video the slip area, deck surface, and any standing water, and note the date and time.
- Ask the pro for a written inspection report that documents deck surfaces and hazards for your insurance file.
- Request a written estimate that specifies scope, since leak repair typically averages $500 to $1,500 for inground pools.
