Different from a Wind Mitigation Inspection, a 4 Point Inspection focuses only on four main areas of interest in a home:
-HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
-Electrical wiring and panels
-Plumbing connections and fixtures
-Roof
The inspection and report describes the condition and age of these elements.

Insurance companies have become increasingly reluctant to issue Homeowner Insurance Policies on older homes (usually 25 years old or more) without a 4 point inspection. Their common concern is that there may be conditions in an older home that could become a liability to them. For instance, a home with a roof nearing the end of its reliable service life may fail while under the policy and the homeowner may seek reimbursement from their insurance company for damages to the home or its contents.
Similar concerns extend to the condition of the HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems in an older home. If these elements are in poor condition, in need of being updated or replaced or were improperly installed, they may fail and cause fire or water damage to a home.
Our 4 point inspection, while comprehensive, only covers the four areas discussed. If you are purchasing a new home, you might consider having other areas of the home inspected, such as mold testing. Many times home inspections can address what is seen. Our mold testing goes beyond the 4 points to discover water damage that is hidden from sight.

A 4 point inspection helps the homeowner obtain a policy and it helps the insurance companies determine their level of risk on the property.
