What Is It

What's Included in a
4-Point Inspection

A 4-point inspection evaluates the four major systems that insurance companies care about most — roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. It is not a full home inspection; it is a focused, insurance-specific report required by most Florida carriers before they will issue or renew coverage on homes over 20 years old.

We serve homeowners and buyers throughout Hernando County — including Spring Hill, Brooksville, Weeki Wachee, and Hernando Beach — with fast turnaround and same-day report delivery.

Roof System

We evaluate shingles, flashing, penetrations, visible decking, and overall life expectancy. The roof is typically the most scrutinized system by Florida insurers — age, material, and condition all affect your coverage eligibility and premium.

Electrical System

We document the main service panel, breaker types, visible wiring, and safety concerns for insurance review. Older panels and known hazardous wiring types are flagged clearly so you can address them with your carrier.

Plumbing System

We inspect visible supply lines, drain lines, water heaters, and signs of leakage. Pipe material is a critical factor — polybutylene pipes, for example, can cause insurers to deny or cancel coverage entirely.

HVAC System

Heating and cooling systems are evaluated for age, condition, and basic functionality. Insurers want to know the system is operational and not a liability — we provide the clear documentation they need.

What to Watch For

Common Reasons a Home
Fails a 4-Point Inspection

These are the issues we most frequently document that result in required repairs or delayed insurance approval in Hernando County.

01

Double-Tapped Breakers

Two wires connected to a single breaker designed for one conductor. Creates overheating risk and is one of the most common electrical issues that causes a 4-point inspection to fail.

02

Damaged or Aging Shingles

Curled, cracked, lifted, or missing shingles reduce roof life expectancy and increase water intrusion risk. Insurers often require repairs or full replacement when deterioration is significant.

03

Polybutylene Plumbing

Installed commonly between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, polybutylene pipe has a documented history of premature failure. Most Florida insurers require full replacement before issuing coverage.

Double-Tapped Breakers

A double tap occurs when two wires are connected to a breaker designed for only one conductor. This creates overheating risk and is among the most common electrical issues found during 4-point inspections throughout Hernando County.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
About 4-Point Inspections

How long is a 4-point inspection valid?

Most carriers accept a 4-point inspection for 12 months. Requirements vary by insurer, so confirm with your agent before scheduling.

Do older homes require a 4-point inspection?

Yes. Most Florida insurers require one for homes over 20–30 years old before issuing or renewing a homeowner's policy.

Can repairs be made after a failed inspection?

Absolutely. Once repairs are completed, we can re-document the corrections for submission to your carrier — no need to start over.

Is a 4-point the same as a full home inspection?

No. A 4-point focuses specifically on roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC for insurance purposes. A full inspection covers every accessible system and component of the home.
