More General Information
- Home inspections (also condo, townhome, duplex, triplex) are for typically paid for by people looking to purchase a home. They want to feel at ease knowing that the largest investment they will ever make is in good shape before purchasing. We do not work for the lender, insurance, realtors. We are a 3rd party that have your best interest as the buyer.
- Wind mitigation inspections are very beneficial to buyers because the more hurricane resistant your home is, the cheaper your insurance premium will be via credits. Sometimes just hurricane clips will save you over $400 a year!
- 4-Point inspections are what insurance companies typically need in order to provide you coverage. They want to make the Roof, Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC are in good shape prior to insuring.
- Pre Listing Inspections are for when you are selling your house and you want to get ahead of the buyers inspeciotn to see if there are any issues that can be corrected first. This can save you time and money as you can now get estimates for repairs at your own time frame.
- Mold Inspections I am a Florida certified and licensed Mold Assessor/Inspector. I can inspect, test, and give instructions how to remediate mold in your home. This is an additional license and skill set that many regular home inspectors do not have/offer.
- Sewer Camera Inspections I have additional training and certifications to inspect the inside of sewer drains. I have a high quality camera that I send down the main lateral sewer drain line. I often find roots, damaged lines, blockages, bad slopes, and old (metal) cast iron drains that are rusting from the inside out. This inspection is VERY beneficial and should be included with every home inspection as these defects cost home owners a LOT of money.
- Pool Inspections are very beneficial as pools are quite expensive. I check the pool surface, decking, tile, equipment, electrical, functionality, and much more.
- Dock and Seawall Inspections are a great inspeciton as I check for cracks, seawall failure (leaning or bowing) drainage issues, safety hazards and more. Seawalls and docks can be very expensive to repair or replace.
- Termite/WDO Inspections are recommended on every time of home inspection. Some say termites are Florida’s state bug because they are so infested here due to our climate. Termites can do sever damage to homes and you want to know if your potential new home has them or has damage from them prior to buying it.
Home inspectons
A general home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a residential property (as delineated below), performed for a fee, which is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components defined by these Standards that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector. The scope of work may be modified by the Client and Inspector prior to the inspection process.
Wind mitigations
Wind mitigation is the implementation of certain building techniques in order to limit damage caused by intense wind.
Having a wind mitigation inspection done can save you thousands of dollars on your insurance policy.
