What Was Crossing Above the Pool?
During this inspection, overhead lines appeared to pass over or close to a swimming pool. The photograph shows the lines in relation to the water, raising a question about their type and clearance.
What We Observed
Several overhead lines are visible above the backyard. One appears to cross the pool area. The photograph documents their position from the inspector’s viewpoint.
A photograph cannot identify every line, establish its voltage, or provide an accurate clearance measurement. Those details must be verified before deciding whether the installation meets applicable requirements.
Why It Matters
Overhead lines near a pool deserve careful attention, particularly where people may use long pool tools. Required clearances depend on the type of line and its position relative to the water and pool edge.
The concern here is the placement shown in the photograph. The image alone does not establish a clearance violation.
What Buyers Should Know
The serving utility should identify the lines, and a qualified professional should evaluate their clearances using measurements and the requirements that apply to this installation. Any needed changes should be coordinated with the utility.
This finding shows why a pool inspection includes a look above the water as well as at the pool and its equipment.
