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The insurance company wants to know if there is an outdated electrical panel, what type of wiring is in the home, and if there are any other safety hazards or outdated/improperly installed materials.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 have used several inspection companies in my years in Real Estate and Waypoint Property Inspections is one the best, especially in this fast-paced market! They can turn around a report as soon as the same day, and make it very easy for clients to understand the findings, and still very thorough. They have excellent customer service and the inspectors are very knowledgable. Highly recommend!

Jim was extremely thorough in his assessment and inspection of a commercial property I was hoping to purchase. His photos and description enabled me to present issues to the seller which were all addressed prior to the purchase. The seller's agent was so impressed that she is going to recommend them to her clients in the future.

Brandon was my property inspector for a new build. Did a great job highlighting details of both good and bad elements of the home. Pictures and explanations of building code and safety hazards was much appreciated. The report provided was forwarded to the construction manager of my new build who then followed that report to make fixes right away.Without the inspection, a lot of elements would have been missed such as pipes, appliances, heating/cooling, safety valves and caps, and building code parameters.Thank you Waypoint!

I was pressed on time to get an inspection and your company was the ONLY company after many attempts to obtain an inspection from others came through for me!!! The report was easy to follow and very thorough. Thanks again!!!

Inspection done for a new home build upon completion of build and prior to new owner close and move in. Very professionally done inspection pinpointed several issues builder missed on their final walk through. The extra set of eyes saved new owners from other issues builder may have made them pay for. I whole heartedly recommend doing a home inspection with new builds through this Waypoint Property Inspection , it may save you a considerable amount of money down the road. Remember, just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s alright.

I called Waypoint to request an inspection on a commercial property that I'm buying in Tampa. Despite short notice, they fit me in to their schedule and quoted a fair price. They conducted a thorough property inspection and sent me their report via email later that evening.The report they sent included an excellent executive summary of the most important issues they found, as well as detailed sections on every area they inspected.Waypoint offered to speak by phone several times in the days after the inspection, and I spoke with Oliver from Waypoint on Thursday evening. He answered my questions and offered to talk again if I have any further questions.I won't hesitate to use Waypoint again.

i used WAYPOINT PROPERTY INSPECTION LLC back in 2020. it is almost 2022 now but still had to keep my promise of singing my inspector WILMER MOLLFULLEDA PRAISSES! i was so impressed by this company as a whole that even though it is more convenient for me to live life and not try to remember details of my awesome experiences with this company as a whole or how grateful i still am for WILMER MOLLFULLEDA KEEN EYE and EXPERIENCE i am going to keep my promise!!! WILMER caught a very long list of things that really matterd! for ex: master bath rm. cabinets had been damaged by sitting in standing water, garage threshold garage gap, dryer vent had an improper mesh covering the vent to where alot of my neighbors here in the now are having major problems and expenses behind theres not being caught by the builders inspector! WILMER MOLLFULLEDA caught mine and it was corrected! thank GOD! so from the 3 inspections i hired WAYPOINT PROPERTY INSPECTION LLC to do WILMER MOLLFULLEDA KEEN EYE SAVED ME MONEY WAY DOWN THE LINE AND I AM STILL GRATEFUL TODAY! THANK YOU!!!

The buyer I have been working with finally won in a bidding war to purchase a townhouse. After a Waypoint inspection there were some electrical issues that even the townhome owner was not aware of. Problems are being fixed by the owner before closing and the home is safe and will pass the 4 point to save money on the insurance policy. Very honest, pictures to show the issues and always show up on time as scheduled. Great company to work with.

Fantastic attention to details that new home builder inspector missed. Also my wife and I had missed a few items during our walk through but our inspector Warren had our backs with an already eroded ac unit concrete base, non safety hoses on washer and vent for dryer wasn't even hooked up. Super thorough, and very pleased with service. Will definitely use Waypoint Property again
