Frequently Asked Questions
Is PoolVerify really a good HomeGauge alternative?
For California pool inspectors, yes. PoolVerify is purpose-built for BPC §7195 compliance with pre-configured templates. HomeGauge is a comprehensive home inspection platform—excellent for full property inspections, but more complex than needed for pool-only work.
What does HomeGauge have that PoolVerify doesn't?
HomeGauge offers full home inspection templates, structural/mechanical/electrical inspection tools, extensive comment libraries, report hosting services, and desktop software options. If you do complete home inspections, HomeGauge provides more comprehensive tools.
Can I use HomeGauge for pool inspections?
Yes, HomeGauge can handle pool inspections using their customizable templates. However, you'll need to configure California BPC §7195 requirements yourself. PoolVerify provides these templates out of the box.
How much can I save switching from HomeGauge?
PoolVerify Starter costs $39/month billed annually vs HomeGauge's $69/month starting price, a difference of $360/year. Plus, you get specialized California pool compliance tools instead of generic home inspection features.
Is PoolVerify only for California?
Currently, yes. PoolVerify's compliance templates are built specifically for California's BPC §7195 and HSC §115922 requirements. If you work outside California or do full home inspections, HomeGauge's flexibility may be a better fit.
