Do I Need A Building Permit For My Fiberglass Pool?

SignaturePools · Oct 22, 2010 ·

 

Yes!

We get this question a lot, and there are a few reasons that a building permit is not only required, but a benefit to homeowners:

1. Liability- Having a building permit in place protects you as the homeowner from a number of liabilities throughout the project. What happens if someone gets hurt while working on your property? A building permit requires contractors to be licenced, insured, and bonded in many cases. If an injury or property damage were to occur, your pool builder’s insurance will cover the costs.

2. Inspections- Most municipal building departments have an inspector visit your home during the construction of your pool project. The inspector’s role is to examine and verify that your pool is being built to national and local safety standards. Some of the inspections include: underground plumbing, electric, and gas line, electrical bonding, and final pool/barrier.

3. Piece of Mind- Working with a reputable pool installer who is licenced, insured, and bonded can be a great step towards knowing you are getting the best possible installation of your new swimming pool. Stay away from contractors who insist that you don’t need a permit, or ask you to apply for the permit yourself. Many times these companies are not willing to comply with industry standards of construction or do not have proper liability insurance.

Local Pool Builder Faces Felony Chemical Dumping Allegations

SignaturePools · Sep 24, 2010 ·

A local Chicago land pool builder, and one of the nations top 50 pool builders, has been accused of illegally disposing of hazardous materials on their property in South Barrington, Illinois.  You can read more of the story here or here.

Barrington Pools, Inc is a builder of in ground, concrete swimming pools and has projects throughout the greater Chicago land area, Wisconsin and Indiana.  The construction of these types of pools requires a large amount of chemicals to be added to the water and poses a storage and disposal problem for companies dealing with hazardous or caustic materials. 

Many companies who previously have build concrete pools have switched to fiberglass pool construction for this and many other reasons.  Not only are less chemicals used in a fiberglass pool, but the construction time, maintenance and service costs are significantly less than with a concrete pool.  If you have questions or concerns about the safety of pool chemicals please feel free to contact us or call 630.845.11545 for more information.
