4 Point Inspection Tampa Bay, FL

What Is A 4 Point Inspection?

If a home is close to, or over 30 years old, insurance companies may request a 4 point inspection report. This report is an overview of the general condition of the roof, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems. Insurance companies want to make sure all four systems are in good working order or have been updated because the home is older. In some cases, insurance companies may request the 4 point inspection, as soon as, 10 years old. Read below to see what is involved in a 4 point inspection in Tampa Bay & Orlando, FL

Roof

Most insurance companies require the roof to have at least 3-5 years of life expectancy remaining. Any signs of leaks (past or present), deteriorated materials, and repairs are also noted.

Electrical

The insurance company wants to know if there is an outdated electrical panel, what type of wiring is in the home, and if there are any other safety hazards or outdated/improperly installed materials.

HVAC

Insurance companies want to see that the heating and cooling system is in good working condition, that it has been regularly maintained, and that there aren’t signs of damage or deterioration.

Plumbing

Certain types of plumbing, such as polybutylene and deteriorated cast iron, may be considered red flags by insurance companies. They also want to know if there any signs of leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are a lot of questions and concerns when it comes to 4 point inspections in Tampa, especially when a home transaction is involved. Be sure to read our FAQs thoroughly and if you need further assistance, feel free to contact our office.

How Do I Pass A 4 Point Inspection?

A 4 point inspection is not a pass or fail, however, an insurance company may request repairs after a 4 point inspection is completed in order to qualify for insurance. Some insurance companies may provide a grace period of about 30 days after a home purchase to repair/fix items noted in the 4 point inspection.

How Long Is A 4 Point Inspection Good For?

A 4 Point Inspection is generally good for the life of the policy or until the insurance underwriter wants to request a new inspection (which is rare). That being said, a new 4 point inspection may be requested if a home is sold regardless if the seller has a previous 4 point available.

Can A 4 Point Inspection Replace A Home Inspection?

A 4 Point Inspection is not a replacement for a full home inspection. A home inspection covers many other important items in the home, such as grading, the structure, and appliances. In addition, the 4 point inspection only covers the 4 points in a general overview. A home inspection report may provide additional detail and recommendations.

I had a great experience with Waypoint! Laurie was so patient and worked diligently with my builder to make sure we were scheduled! We had a last minute rescheduling due to the home not being complete and Laurie sprung into action and coordinated the inspection for the following business day. Jeff, our inspector, was fantastic and very thorough in the home! Caught quite a bit of things we did not catch during our walkthrough. I am planning on using them again for our 11 month inspection.

I was in need of an inspector who could cover all my inspections at once. They were able to accommodate within a 24 hour notice and the inspector Jeffery was prompt, thorough, and answered any questions or concerns I had. I was sent a report of the inspection same day. I also had a couple follow up questions after the inspection which were taken care of immediately. I will be using them again for future properties.

On June 9,2022, as a first time homebuyer I tried my best to consider everything when buying a new home. Waypoint came highly recommended so I gave them a try. Needless to say, it was the best decision. My inspector was Jeff G. On the day of my inspection it had been raining off and on. My appt was at 1 but by the time is arrived Jeff shared he decided to get an earlier start while the storm was on pause to get on top of the roof. He was 1/2 way through by that time. He was patient as he walked my husband and I throughout the house giving us a thorough review and breakdown on recommendations for the builder. I would definitely recommend their services.

Highly recommend!I hired Waypoint to do an inspection on my home and they went above and beyond. I was able to set up an appointment quickly and easily. My appointment was confirmed the day prior, to be sure I didn't forget. Eddie arrived promptly & on time. He was very friendly and professional. Eddie explained what he would need to do, advised me about the issues he found and let me know how quickly I could expect my formal reports to be emailed to me. I was even able to get prompt answers after the inspection for those random questions we all come up with after the fact. The whole process was easy breezy! Very happy, Thank you Waypoint. 🙂

Waypoint was very accommodating to my schedule. Like many others, my homeowners insurance is about to be canceled. They worked with me to get an inspector out to perform the wind mitigation inspection on my roof for insurance purposes. The gentleman that came out was very nice and he was extremely professional. He also arrived on time. He followed up with me when he was complete with the inspection and asked if I had any questions. I received my report via email the same day for my insurance company. Additionally I received a text message the day following asking if I had questions.I would definitely recommend them and if I am in need of the services they offer in the future, will definitely utilize them.
