Pre-purchase
inspection
A
pre-purchase
inspection
can be
performed to
determine
whether
proceeding
with the
purchase of
an existing
home is
prudent.
Home
purchase
contracts
often
contain a
provision
for a home
inspection
and certain
stipulations
concerning
the
condition of
various home
systems and
components.

On the
surface a
home may
appear to be
in good
shape, but
our
inspection
experience
tells us
that, in
addition to
typical
minor
deficiencies,
significant
structural
deficiencies,
defects, and
safety
concerns
affect many
homes. Also,
major
maintenance
and repair
costs, such
as
replacement
of the roof or air
conditioning
equipment,
may be a
near term or
immediate
concern.

comprehensive

New home
inspection
New home
inspections
are just as
important,
and often
more so,
than
inspection
of an
existing
older
property.
Significant
structural
deficiencies
and safety
concerns,
along with
many less
significant
but
important
and
potentially
costly
deficiencies,
are often
found during
new home
inspections.

inspection

equipment -
Roof
covering and

- Central

A final
inspection
of your new
home should
take place
after an
occupancy
permit has
been issued
and
electrical
power, water
supply, gas
supply,
etc., and
equipment is
activated.
This is
typically
around the
time that
builders
perform a
"final
walk-thru"
evaluation
with the
homebuyer.

New home inspections
One-Year
Warranty
Inspection
Often home
builders
"warranty" a
house for a
period of
one
year
(sometimes
longer): Therefore
it is
prudent to
have a
comprehensive
home
inspection
performed
shortly
before the
"warranty"
expires so
that covered
defects and
deficiencies
can be
brought to
the
attention of
the builder
for remedy,
rather than
be a future
expense for
you, the
homeowner.
Even if a
new home
final
inspection
was
performed a
1-Year
Warranty
Inspection
should not
be skipped.
Although
many
deficiencies
may be found
during a new
home final
inspection,
additional
problems and
new or
previously
latent
issues are
often
reveled
during the
1-Year
Warranty
Inspection.
A 1-Year
Warranty
Inspection
is
particularly
important to
find and
correct
problems
before they
get out of
hand.

Thermal
Imaging
Infrared
Inspection
Infrared
inspection
services are
performed by
a
qualified
Building
Science
Thermographer.
A
Thermographer
is
specifically
trained in
the use of
infrared
cameras and
professional
interpretation
of the
rendered
data.
Infrared
inspection
(thermography) can be
defined as
the
detection
and
measurement
of emitted
thermal
energy
(heat). This
is enabled
by the use
of an
infrared
camera which
translates
the
invisible
infrared
spectrum
into a
visual
format, or
thermal
image.
This thermal
image can
then be
interpreted
to provide a
noninvasive
and
nondestructive
method of
identifying
building
defects and
deficiencies.
For example,
excess
moisture
within
building
materials
cools when
energy is
transferred
during the
evaporation
process;
therefore, a
wet
(“cooler”)
spot on a
ceiling
below a
leaking roof
will stand
out from the
surrounding
dry
(“warmer”)
surface.
Thermal
imaging can
also detect
building
insulation
deficiencies
(such as
deficient or
missing
attic
insulation),
points of
air
infiltration
and leakage
(such as air
conditioning
duct
leakage),
and many
other
building
defects and
deficiencies
due to
appreciable
temperature
differences
which become
apparent
within the
thermal
image
rendered by
an infrared
camera.

Four-Point
Insurance
Inspection
A Four-Point
Inspection
(4-point
insurance
inspection)
is typically performed
for a
homeowner
when
requested by
their
insurance
company;
often a
requirement
when a
homeowner is
obtaining a
new
insurance policy
or renewing
an existing
policy.
A Four-Point
Insurance
Inspection
is not
standard
"Home
Inspection”
in scope and
depth. The
Inspection
includes a
limited
scope
evaluation
of the roof
surface
covering,
electrical
system,
central air
conditioning
- heating
system, and
plumbing
system.
Insurance
companies
are
typically
concerned
that the
systems are
currently in
satisfactory
functional
condition
and are not
"antiquated"
(at or past
their
expected
useful
service
life).
The
Insurance
company will
typically
require that
the
inspections
be performed
by suitably
qualified
persons. A
State of
Florida
licensed and
ICC
(International
Code
Council)
Certified
Residential Building,
Electrical,
Plumbing and
Mechanical
Code
Inspector
performs all
inspections,
therefore we
are able to
provide the
various
insurance
related
inspections
that are
required.
> Four-point
insurance
inspections
Insurance
inspections
Inspection
requirements
for
Homeowner
insurance
may not
include all
the systems
of a
Four-Point
Inspection;
sometimes
all that is
required is
the
evaluation
of a
specific
system of
the house,
such as the
roof
covering, or
a specific
issue.
Partial
inspection
services are
available to
fit your
specific
needs.
Specific
concerns
If
you have any
specific
concerns or
problems
with your
home (a roof
leak,
electrical
or plumbing
problem,
building
code issue,
or other
specific
concern)
give us a
call, we may
be able to
help.
