Inspection Types

Buying A New Home?

A residential home inspection is the routine type of inspection that a home buyer thinks of when purchasing a home. It is a comprehensive evaluation of a property's condition conducted by a qualified inspector, typically prior to a home purchase. The inspection covers critical systems such as roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural integrity, along with potential safety hazards. The inspector provides a detailed report outlining findings, necessary repairs, and maintenance recommendations, helping buyers make informed decisions and negotiate terms based on the home's condition.

First Time Home Buyer?

A first-time home buyer’s inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property conducted before finalizing the purchase. This inspection, typically performed by a licensed home inspector, examines the home's structural integrity, systems (like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC), and overall condition to identify any potential issues or needed repairs. The findings help buyers make informed decisions, negotiate repairs or price adjustments, and ensure the property is a sound investment.

As a first-time home buyer, be sure to ask for a copy of "Now That You've Had a Home Inspection" from your InterNACHI inspector. This book is full of valuable information that will help you keep your home safe and in top condition for years to come.

Planning On Selling Your Home?

Let an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector® inspect it before you even list it. A Move-In Certified® home has been pre-inspected, which means that the seller can confirm that there are no major systems in need of immediate repair or replacement, and no known safety hazards. A Move-In Certified® Seller's Inspection alerts you to any defects or problems with your home so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them. You can then take the time you need to obtain reasonable repair estimates. Show prospective buyers that you are dealing in good faith. Avoid 11th-hour negotiations and delays, and justify your full asking price by having your home pre-inspected now.

Looking To Maintain Your Investment?

An annual home inspection is a comprehensive assessment of a home's condition conducted once a year. This proactive evaluation is typically performed by a qualified inspector who examines various aspects of the property, including the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, foundation, and overall structural integrity. The goal is to identify potential issues early, ensuring that necessary maintenance or repairs can be addressed to preserve the home's value and safety. Homeowners often use the findings to plan for future improvements and to avoid costly repairs down the line.

4 Point Inspection

A 4-point inspection is an inspection designed primarily for insurance purposes. It evaluates four major systems of a home: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems.

The inspection provides insurance companies with information about the age, condition, and general insurability of these key components. A 4-point inspection is typically more limited in scope than a complete home inspection and is not intended to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the entire home.

If your insurance company has requested a 4-point inspection, Elevation Home Inspection can help you understand what information is being evaluated and provide the documentation needed for your insurance requirements.

Wind Mitigation Inspection

A wind mitigation inspection evaluates the features of your home that may help protect it against high winds and wind-related damage. In Florida, documenting these features may help homeowners qualify for insurance premium discounts.

During the inspection, the inspector looks at items such as the roof covering, roof-to-wall connections, roof geometry, roof deck attachment, secondary water resistance, and protection of windows and other openings.

The inspector documents the home's qualifying wind-resistant features on the appropriate inspection form. This information can then be provided to your insurance company when determining eligibility for available wind mitigation credits.

A wind mitigation inspection is different from a standard home inspection. Its primary purpose is to document wind-resistant construction features for insurance purposes rather than provide a comprehensive evaluation of the home's overall condition.
