Florida State Insurance Inspections

4 POINT INSPECTION

If the home is older than 25 years, old most insurance companies in Florida require a 4 point inspection. Your insurance company wants to know that the 4 main points of the home (Roof, Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC) are in good and in safe working order.

WIND MITIGATION INSPECTION

Your insurance company wants to know the age, shape and type of roof, how well the roof is connected to the walls, (either by toe nails (16 penny nails) or hurricane clips or straps), how well the sheathing is secured to the trusses, what type of nails were used, and if the openings of the house (windows, doors and garage door/s) have hurricane impact resistance ratings. A wind mitigation inspection can help lower your home owner’s insurance policy premiums.

Frequently Asked Questions – Home Inspections in Pinellas County

Do homes in Clearwater and St. Petersburg need special inspections due to coastal conditions?

Yes — coastal properties in Pinellas County can be subject to specific challenges including salt air corrosion, hurricane wind exposure, and moisture intrusion. Our inspectors are familiar with the unique concerns facing Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, and other coastal communities. We include a thorough assessment of all exterior components, roofing, and ventilation systems that are especially critical in Florida’s coastal climate.

What is an 11th Month Warranty Inspection and why do Dunedin and Palm Harbor homeowners need one?

Many newly built homes in Pinellas County come with a 1-year builder’s warranty. An 11th Month Warranty Inspection is conducted near the end of that warranty period to identify construction defects and issues before your warranty expires. We can help you document problems that the builder is responsible for fixing — giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment before the warranty runs out.

Thermal Imaging Camera

The Thermal Imaging Camera is a tool that allows our inspector to see areas of low or excessive heat behind home surfaces not visible to the naked eye. Picking up on infrared energy, this camera can show hidden water damage, leaks around doors and windows, and improperly insulated areas of the home.

Aerial Drone

Depending on the height, pitch, and construction material, we may decide that a roof is unsafe to walk on foot. This doesn’t mean that we won’t inspect it! With the use of an Aerial Drone, we can collect high-resolution images from above the home to inspect the roof’s condition and determine if damages exist.

360° Camera

Wouldn’t it be great to revisit the home anytime you want when trying to remember its minor details and layout? The 360° Camera makes that possible by creating images that allow you to virtually tour the property long after you’ve left.

Moisture Meter

We use a Moisture Meter during our inspections to measure the amount of moisture in different areas of the home. This information points us in the direction of leaks and water damage that may have otherwise been difficult to find.
