4 Point Inspection

What is a 4-Point Inspection?

The 4-Point Inspection is an essential, focused evaluation of a home’s four primary systems:
  • Roof
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
  • HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)
Originally introduced after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, this inspection is often required by insurance companies, especially for homes older than 20 years, to assess the condition and safety of these systems.

What’s Covered in a 4-Point Inspection?

Our comprehensive 4-Point Inspection examines each system carefully to ensure your home meets insurance standards:
  • Roof
Our comprehensive 4-Point Inspection examines each system carefully to ensure your home meets insurance standards:
  • Electrical System
We inspect the type and condition of wiring, the age of the electrical panel, and any visible wear or potential hazards. By ensuring that electrical components are up to code and safe, we help reduce risks related to electrical fires.
  • Plumbing
Our inspectors review the plumbing system for any visible leaks, material types, and the condition of pipes and water fixtures. We also examine the age and state of the water heater to ensure it is functioning safely and efficiently.
  • HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)
This part of the inspection looks at the age, type, and condition of heating and cooling systems, including any visible signs of wear or leaks. A reliable HVAC system is not only necessary for comfort but also impacts energy efficiency and overall air quality.
