Understanding 4-Point Inspections

A 4-point inspection is often required by insurance companies, especially for older homes. It focuses on four critical areas:

1. Roofing – Condition, age, and leaks

2. Electrical – Wiring, panels, outlets, and overall safety

3. Plumbing – Pipes, fixtures, and water systems

4. HVAC – Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Ignoring outdated electrical systems

• Assuming roof age is sufficient for approval

• Not preparing documentation for insurance

Why It Matters:

For Florida homeowners, a 4-point inspection ensures compliance with insurance requirements, helps prevent claim denials, and gives buyers peace of mind.

Your home is one of your most important investments, and having a trusted professional on your side makes all the difference.
