A LA CARTE OPTIONS
- RESIDENTIAL HOME INSPECTION - A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a residential property (click link below), performed for a fee, which is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components defined by the Standards of Practice (SOP) that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector. The scope of work may be modified in writing, by the Client and Inspector prior to the inspection process. The home inspection is based on the observations made on the date of the inspection, and not a prediction of future conditions. The home inspection will not reveal every issue that exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects observed on the date of the inspection. https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ChapterHome.asp?Chapter=61-30
- CONDOMINIUM INSPECTION - A Condo inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the components that the buyer or homeowner is responsible for. The standard condominium inspector’s report will cover the condition of the condo’s heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors. Our thermal imaging test is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows the inspector to show homeowners things about their homes that can't be revealed using conventional inspection methods. This condominium inspection is a partial inspection, it does not include the exterior components of the property, crawlspace or attic and all of the components contained therein as this is usually owned by the association and is not owned by the buyer or home owner.
- MOBILE HOME INSPECTION - A manufactured home inspection is a complete inspection of the home, from the roof to the ground. There are specific areas that are thoroughly inspected such as roofs, plumbing, electricity, heating and cooling, and flooring. A competent, licensed inspector for manufactured homes understands the unique issues of factory-built homes. This knowledge allows them to pinpoint current and future issues that may be unsafe, lower the value of the home, or be too expensive to repair. Our thermal imaging test is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows the inspector to show homeowners things about their homes that can't be revealed using conventional inspection methods.
- PRE-DRYWALL INSPECTION- refers to a phase during the homebuilding process just after the installation of certain elements – such as the doors, windows, foundation, flooring, wall and roof components, plumbing and electrical rough-in – and right before the drywall is hung. We inspect the construction on the buyers behalf up to that point and then we will come back out to inspect post drywall.
- 4 POINT AND WIND INSPECTION - A 4point inspection and/or a wind mitigation inspection is a very limited inspection. It is not nearly as comprehensive as a residential home inspection. Citizens requires a four-point inspection for all homeowner, dwelling and mobile home applications for properties more than 30 years old. A Florida-licensed inspector will check the home’s electrical system, plumbing, heating/cooling system (HVAC) and roof. The inspector must provide the age, type and condition of the wiring, heating and plumbing systems, and roof. Any serious hazards or deficiencies (such as exposed wiring, active leaks or evidence of leaks) should be repaired before an application for coverage is submitted. Wind-damage mitigation features protect against wind damage by helping your home withstand these forces. Documenting the presence of qualifying mitigation features on your home through a wind mitigation inspection may save you money by helping you qualify for mitigation discounts on your insurance policy.

- MOLD INSPECTION - The general Home Inspection does not include identification of spores, mold or mildew that may be present, in the air, or unseen behind a wall, ceiling, flooring, etc.. Please note that whenever there is water damage, high moisture or signs of microbial growth noted in the report, there is a possibility that mold or mildew may be present. If anyone in your home suffers from allergies or heightened sensitivity to quality of air, we strongly recommend that you consider a detailed Mold Inspection to better help determine the amounts and types of spores in the air and on surfaces. When left to accumulate, mold can damage buildings and expose the inhabitants of the infested building to health risks such as; sinuses, wheezing and exacerbation of asthma. Mold is a fungus, and like all fungi, it thrives in moist, dark places. By catching mold formation early, you can abate the mold to keep the house from further contamination. Mold can exist in inaccessible areas such as behind walls and under carpeting. Furthermore, mold grows. The purpose of the mold inspection is to identify and report signs of potential mold growth along with conditions that are conducive to mold growth as evident to the inspector on the precise date and time of the inspection. On average, professional mold remediation costs $500 to $6,000.

- SEWER SCOPE INSPECTION - During a full home inspection, we run the water to uncover possible drainage issues, but that does not tell us the full condition of what is underneath the home line to the city connection. Cracks, leaks and roots can cause issues to the sewer line and we run a full scope with video to the city connector to find any of those potential issues...

- WDO/TERMITE performed by an affiliate - Although commonly referred to as a "termite inspection," WDO stands for "wood-destroying organism," and a proper WDO inspection looks for evidence of infestation by termites (both subterranean and dry wood types), wood decay, wood devouring beetles, as well as evidence of past infestations, damage to wood, or conditions conducive to infestation; and evidence of past treatments.
- RADON TESTING performed by Radon Associates - Radon is an invisible, color-less, odor-less, taste-less radioactive gas that occurs naturally due to the decay of uranium within the ground. Radon is naturally found outside in the air we breathe, but typically in such low concentrations that it really doesn't pose a health threat outside. The issue with radon is when it becomes trapped in our houses and the concentrations become large enough to pose a health risk to the occupants inside the home. We spend nearly 80% of our time indoors. The only way to know if your house has elevated levels of radon is to test for it. The EPA recommends that every house be tested for radon! They also recommend testing every two years thereafter.
