Four Point Inspections for Obtaining Insurance
Most insurance companies currently require a four point inspection of a prospective policyholder's house before issuing a policy. The four areas of concern are the roofing, heating/air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems. Several insurance firms now require annual re-inspections of such systems. The four-point inspections offered by Avant Home Inspections, LLC are accurate and precise. We understand what the insurance companies are and are not looking for. Concise information without over-explanation will help prevent barriers to obtaining a policy. Sometimes, too much information can be a bad thing!

Insurance. There is help!
Insurers in Florida have instituted stricter policy requirements in response to an uptick in weather-related claims. Locating a trustworthy inspector and having them supply you with a comprehensive Four Point report should be your first line of defense. A thorough roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical inspection will reveal any problems or indicate where repairs are required. Application for insurance coverage approval will be based on the findings of this report. Your insurance company will appreciate a well-written report that alerts both you and them to potential problems and propose workable solutions. Most issues are minor and are easily corrected. That’s what we are here to help you with.
Time to save some money!
Now that the Four Point inspection has been completed and you have insurance, the Wind Mitigation form identifies construction features of the house that can result in discounts on your premiums. This inspection looks at the roof shape, roof coverings and the doors and windows in the house. We look for how the roof structure is attached to the exterior walls. Are there hurricane straps or “clips” that provide extra strength? Are there impact rated windows and doors or shutters that can protect them? This is where experience and knowledge is most important. Knowing how to determine the ratings of your building materials is crucial to you saving money. Our knowledge works for you!
