4-Point Inspections in Tampa, St. Petersburg & Clearwater
If you’re buying an older home in Florida, your insurance company will likely require a 4-point inspection. At Forscher Property Inspections, we’ve helped numerous Tampa Bay homeowners and buyers meet insurance requirements with thorough, same-day reporting.
What is a 4-Point Inspection?
Unlike a full home inspection, a 4-point focuses on the four major systems insurers care most about:
- 1. Roofing – Condition, age, and signs of leaks
- 2. Electrical system – Safety, panel type, and wiring
- 3. Plumbing system – Pipes, fixtures, and water heater
- 4. HVAC system – Heating and cooling equipment age and condition
Why It’s Required
Insurance companies want to know that these systems are safe and not likely to fail. If your home passes, you’ll have a smoother path to securing coverage.
FAQs
Q: How long does a 4-point inspection take?
A: Typically 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Q: Can a 4-point inspection replace a full home inspection?
A: No. It’s insurance-focused and doesn’t cover everything buyers should know.
Q: What if my home fails?
A: You’ll receive a detailed report outlining what needs repair or replacement before re-submitting to your insurance provider.
