Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve compiled answers to frequently asked questions to provide clarity and help you better understand the value of our insurance inspection services.
What is an insurance inspection and why is it necessary?
An insurance inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property to assess its condition, identify risks, and verify that it meets insurance company requirements. These inspections are often required by insurers before issuing or renewing a policy. They help prevent potential future claims by addressing hazards early and ensuring the property is compliant with local codes and safety standards.
What types of insurance inspections are most commonly required in Florida?
In Florida, the most common insurance inspections include four-point inspections, wind mitigation inspections, roof certificate inspections, post-claim inspections, and 40-year recertification inspections. Each type focuses on specific aspects necessary for policy approval and potential premium discounts.
What does a four-point inspection include?
A four-point inspection evaluates four key systems: roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). Inspectors assess the age, condition, and overall functionality of these critical components to identify issues that could affect insurability.
How does a wind mitigation inspection help lower insurance premiums?
Wind mitigation inspections identify construction features that make a property more resistant to wind damage, such as hurricane straps, impact-resistant windows, and reinforced roofs. Documenting these upgrades can qualify homeowners for significant discounts on their insurance premiums in hurricane-prone areas.
Who needs a 40-year recertification inspection?
Properties, particularly in South Florida, are required to undergo a 40-year recertification inspection to ensure their structural and electrical systems remain safe. This is a mandatory process for buildings 40 years and older and must be repeated every 10 years thereafter.
What should I expect during a roof certification inspection?
A roof certification inspection involves evaluating the age, materials, overall condition, and life expectancy of your roof. The inspector will look for signs of damage, leaks, or deterioration and confirm whether the roof meets the requirements of your insurance provider.
What happens during a post-claim inspection?
After property repairs have been completed following an insurance claim, a post-claim inspection verifies that all work was done to code and to the insurer’s specifications. This final check ensures your repairs meet quality standards and that all documentation is in order for continued coverage.
How long does an insurance inspection take?
The duration of the inspection depends on property size, type, and inspection requirements, but most are completed in 1–3 hours. Larger or older properties, or those with multiple structures, may require additional time.
What do I need to prepare before an insurance inspection?
To ensure an efficient inspection, have all key areas easily accessible—especially the attic, electrical panels, HVAC units, and water heaters. Gather any documentation related to recent repairs, renovations, or upgrades. Providing prior inspection reports can also be helpful.
Can insurance inspections save money on my premiums?
Absolutely. Inspections, especially wind mitigation and updated four-point inspections, can confirm safety features or upgrades that qualify your property for insurance discounts, potentially resulting in substantial long-term savings.
How do I schedule an insurance inspection?
Simply call (305) 409-0355 or use the contact form on our Contact Page. Flexible appointment times are available to fit your schedule, and reports are delivered promptly for your convenience.
Will I receive a report after the inspection?
Yes. After the inspection is completed, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report highlighting findings, required improvements, and items that may impact your insurance coverage or premiums.
What if the inspection finds issues—can I still get coverage?
If significant issues are identified, most insurers require that repairs be made before issuing or renewing a policy. The inspection report will outline exactly what needs to be addressed. Once repairs are completed, a reinspection can document the updates so your coverage can proceed without unnecessary delay.
