During a four-point inspection, a licensed inspector will thoroughly examine each of these areas, checking for any signs of wear, damage, or potential hazards. They will assess the age and condition of the HVAC system, inspect the electrical wiring and panels for any code violations or safety concerns, examine the plumbing connections and fixtures for leaks or issues, and evaluate the condition of the roof, looking for signs of damage, leaks, or needed repairs.
The purpose of a four-point inspection is to provide insurance companies with an accurate assessment of the property’s condition and risk factors. By conducting a comprehensive inspection of these vital systems, the inspector can provide the insurance provider with the information they need to determine the insurability of the property and set appropriate coverage levels. It’s important to note that a four-point inspection is typically required for older homes or properties that may have specific certification or insurance requirements.
