4-POINT INSPECTION

A 4-point inspection is a type of home inspection that focuses on four key systems in a home:  

• Roof: The inspector will assess the condition of the roof, including the shingles, flashing, and overall structure.

• Electrical system: The inspector will check for any safety hazards, outdated wiring, or improperly installed electrical components.  

• Plumbing system: The inspector will evaluate the condition of the pipes, fixtures, and water heater.  

• HVAC system: The inspector will examine the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system for any issues, such as leaks, inefficient operation, or safety concerns.  

This type of inspection is often required by insurance companies for homes that are over 20-30 years old. It helps them assess the risk of insuring the property and can help homeowners identify potential problems that could lead to costly repairs or replacements.  

While a 4-point inspection is less comprehensive than a full home inspection, it can be a valuable tool for homeowners who want to ensure that their home is safe and well-maintained.
