“What is a 4-point inspection?” is a common question when purchasing a home for the first time.

This inspection provides a direct insight into the current condition of your home to a homeowners insurance company by examining four major systems: roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.

By having this inspection performed, the insurance company will be aware of the true liability they will assume if coverage is granted.

PLUMBING

Are your home’s pipes made of polybutylene, which is known to cause leaks? AllCheck Inspectors will inspect pipes to determine their likelihood of bursting, which could result in water damage.

ELECTRICAL

Do you know what kind of wiring is in your house? Homes with aluminum, or knob-and-tube wiring pose an increased fire risk and are frequently uninsurable.

ROOFING

Is your roof showing signs of shingle damage or cracked tiling? Inspectors will examine the roofing system to determine its age, material, and life expectancy.

HVAC

Is your home equipped with air conditioning and central heating? If so, how are the units doing and are there any obvious signs of leakage?
