A general home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property's overall condition, typically performed before completing a real estate transaction. It involves a thorough examination of the visible and accessible systems and components of the house to identify any issues or defects.

Key Areas Inspected:

1. Structural Components: Foundation, walls, roof, and attic.

2. Exterior: Siding, gutters, downspouts, windows, doors, and landscaping effects on drainage.

3. Interior: Floors, walls, ceilings, and doors.

4. Roofing: Shingles, flashing, vents, and chimneys.

5. Plumbing: Pipes, fixtures, water heaters, and drainage systems.

6. Electrical Systems: Wiring, outlets, circuit breakers, and light fixtures.

7. HVAC: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

8. Insulation and Ventilation: In attics, crawl spaces, and other areas.

9. Appliances: Basic operational checks of installed appliances.

The goal is to identify potential safety hazards, maintenance issues, or major repairs. A report is provided after the inspection, helping buyers make informed decisions. It’s important to note that a general home inspection is non-invasive and doesn’t include specialized evaluations like mold testing, pest inspection, or chimney assessments, which may require separate services.

A Four Point Insurance Inspection is a type of home inspection required by certain insurance companies when a homeowner is applying for a policy or renewing an existing policy. It is typically required for homes that are 25 years or older and is used to assess the overall safety and condition of the home, focusing on four key areas that are important to the insurance company. These four areas include:

1. Roof: The roof's condition is assessed to determine its age, materials, and potential for leaks or other damage. Insurance companies want to ensure the roof is in good condition and unlikely to cause future claims.

2. Electrical System: The inspection evaluates the electrical wiring, panels, and outlets to make sure they are up to code and safe. Older homes, especially those with outdated electrical systems, may pose fire hazards that insurance companies want to avoid.

3. Plumbing System: The plumbing is inspected for signs of leaks, rust, and deterioration. Insurance companies are concerned with the condition of pipes, especially those made of materials that might not be safe or durable.

4. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning): The HVAC system is checked for functionality, age, and potential issues that could lead to breakdowns or other damage. A failing HVAC system may result in water damage or fire hazards. description

Reinspection Home Inspection is a follow-up inspection conducted after a home has been initially inspected and certain issues or repairs were identified. The purpose of a reinspection is to verify that the necessary repairs or corrections have been made according to the original inspection report. It is typically done after the homeowner or seller addresses the identified issues, ensuring that everything meets the required standards and no new problems have emerged.

Key points of a reinspection:

1. Verification of Repairs: Confirming that repairs or improvements have been properly completed.

2. Quality Check: Ensuring that any changes made meet safety codes and quality standards.

3. Documentation: Providing updated reports or proof that previous concerns have been resolved.
