4-Point Insurance Inspections

Four systems. One report carriers can actually use.

A 4-point inspection focuses on the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. It is commonly requested for older homes, new policies, renewals, and underwriting review.

What it is for

A 4-point inspection gives the insurance reviewer a concise view of the systems most associated with loss potential and insurability. It is not a full home inspection, and it is not intended to list every cosmetic or maintenance item. It answers the underwriting question: what is the visible condition of the major systems today?

  • Helpful for insurance placement, renewal, or carrier-requested updates.
  • Useful for insureds who need documentation without a full buyer-style inspection.
  • Useful for agents who need a vendor who understands timing and carrier review.

What we document

The report is built around roof covering and age details, electrical service and panel observations, plumbing supply and drain details, water heater information, and HVAC equipment observations. Photos are used to support the findings, not simply fill space.

  • Roof type, visible condition, age indicators, and concerns.
  • Electrical panel, wiring type indicators, and observed issues.
  • Plumbing material indicators, water heater, and visible leaks or concerns.
  • HVAC equipment and visible operational or condition notes.
