Full inspection
A complete home inspection is a thorough evaluation performed by a licensed inspector to assess the overall condition of a residential property. This assessment includes the structure, exterior, interior, electrical and plumbing systems, HVAC, roofing, insulation, appliances, and safety features. The inspector delivers a detailed report outlining findings, including any issues and suggested repairs. While it aids buyers in making informed decisions and planning for maintenance, it does not guarantee the absence of future problems but reflects the property’s condition at the time of inspection.
4-Point Inspection
A 4-point inspection is a specific type of home inspection that focuses on four essential areas of a property, typically required by insurance companies for older homes or certain policy applications. It is less comprehensive than a full home inspection and only assesses four key components:
-
Roof: The inspector evaluates the condition of the roof, including its age, materials, and any visible signs of damage or deterioration.
-
Electrical System: This part of the inspection examines the electrical wiring, service panel, and overall electrical setup to identify any potential fire hazards or safety concerns.
-
Plumbing System: The plumbing inspection covers the water supply lines, drains, fixtures, and water heater, looking for leaks or signs of plumbing issues.
-
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning): The inspector assesses the HVAC system, checking its functionality, age, and any signs of wear and tear.
Unlike a full home inspection, a 4-point inspection does not include a comprehensive evaluation of the property's structure, exterior, interior, insulation, appliances, or other systems. It is primarily used by insurance companies to assess the risk associated with providing coverage for an older property or when there are specific concerns related to the four critical areas mentioned above.
