4 - Point Inspection
You will get a high-quality home inspection backed by experience and care.
4 – Point Home inspections are a focused evaluation typically required by insurance companies to assess the condition of four major systems within a home: the roof, electrical system, plumbing system, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system.
During the inspection, the inspector examines the roof for signs of damage, wear, and overall integrity, ensuring it can protect the home from the elements. The electrical system is assessed for safety and compliance with current standards, looking for issues like outdated wiring or improper installations. The plumbing system is checked for leaks, corrosion, and proper functioning, while the HVAC system is evaluated for efficiency and any maintenance needs.
This type of inspection is often a prerequisite for securing home insurance, especially for older homes. By providing a clear overview of these critical systems, a 4-point inspection helps homeowners understand potential risks and necessary repairs, ultimately ensuring a safer living environment and a smoother insurance process.
