General Inspection
A home inspection is a visual examination of a residential property by a professional home inspector to assess its condition and identify any potential problems or defects. The inspection typically covers the structural components of the home, including the foundation, roof, walls, and floors, as well as the mechanical systems such as plumbing, heating, and electrical. The inspector will also check for safety issues, such as fire hazards, and provide a report detailing any problems found, along with recommendations for repairs or further investigation. A home inspection is usually conducted prior to purchasing a home or during the construction process to ensure that the property is safe and in good condition
4-Point Inspection
A 4-point inspection is a specialized type of home inspection that focuses on four key areas of a property: the roof, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system, plumbing system, and electrical system. The purpose of a 4-point inspection is to provide an assessment of the condition and age of these systems, which are typically the most important and expensive systems in a home.
The 4-point inspection is usually required by insurance companies when a home is being purchased or when a homeowner is applying for insurance coverage. Insurance companies use the information provided in the 4-point inspection report to evaluate the risk associated with insuring a particular property, and to determine the appropriate insurance premium to charge.
The inspection typically involves a visual examination of the four key areas, and may include testing and measurement of various components. The inspector will evaluate the age, condition, and functionality of each system and identify any deficiencies or safety issues that may need to be addressed.
The importance of a 4-point inspection lies in the fact that it can help homeowners and insurance companies to identify potential risks and hazards associated with a property. This can help homeowners to take preventative measures to protect their property, and can help insurance companies to set appropriate premiums based on the risks associated with the property.

Wind Mitigation Inspection
A wind mitigation inspection is a specialized home inspection designed to assess the ability of a home or building to withstand strong winds, such as those that can occur during a hurricane or other severe weather event. This type of inspection is important because wind damage is a common cause of property damage and insurance claims in many parts of the world.
During a wind mitigation inspection, a certified inspector will evaluate the home's roof, walls, windows, doors, and other structural components to determine their ability to resist wind forces. The inspector will look for features such as hurricane shutters, impact-resistant windows and doors, reinforced garage doors, and roof-to-wall connections that can improve the home's ability to withstand wind damage.
In many areas, homeowners who have undergone a wind mitigation inspection and made the necessary upgrades to their home can qualify for discounts on their insurance premiums. This is because a home that is better prepared to withstand wind damage is considered to be at lower risk of insurance claims, and insurers are often willing to offer discounts as a result. Additionally, a wind mitigation inspection can help homeowners identify potential weaknesses in their home's construction that may need to be addressed in order to prevent or mitigate wind damage in the future.

Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO) Inspection
A wood destroying organisms (WDO) inspection is a visual examination of a property to identify any signs of active or past infestation by wood-destroying insects or fungi. WDO inspections are typically conducted by a licensed home inspector or pest control professional.
The purpose of a WDO inspection is to identify any potential problems with the structural integrity of the property. Wood-destroying organisms can cause significant damage to wood, which can lead to structural instability, property damage, and safety hazards.
A WDO inspection typically includes the following:
-
Visual inspection of the exterior and interior of the property for signs of infestation, such as:
-
Sawdust or frass
-
Mud tubes
-
Damaged or discolored wood
-
Hollow sounding wood
-
-
probing of wood with a sharp object to test for softness
-
Inspection of crawlspaces, attics, and other areas where wood-destroying organisms are likely to be found
If any signs of infestation are found, the inspector will recommend further testing or treatment by a pest control professional.
WDO inspections are an important part of the home buying or selling process. They can help to protect homeowners from costly repairs and safety hazards. If you are buying or selling a home, it is important to have a WDO inspection conducted by a qualified professional.
Here are some additional benefits of a WDO inspection:
-
It can help you to identify potential problems with your home before they cause major damage.
-
It can help you to negotiate a lower price for your home if there are signs of infestation.
-
It can help you to get insurance coverage for wood-destroying organism damage.
If you are concerned about wood-destroying organisms in your home, you should contact a qualified home inspector or pest control professional.
