Insurance inspections

It refers to steps you’ve taken to upgrade all openings to your home - your home’s entry doors, garage doors, windows, and skylights - with wind-resistant features that are verified to meet Florida Building Code requirements. Most homeowners protect their window openings, but some forget about other openings, such as the garage door.

Sewer scope inspections have become a standard component of the pre-purchase inspection period. A standard scope inspection for a single family residence takes approximately one hour to complete 

Our technician will insert a mini video camera into the sewer line through the sewer cleanout. The cleanout may be located in the basement, crawlspace or outside where the sewer line exits the home. If no obstructions are encountered, we will inspect from the cleanout to the city main. If problems with the line are found, we are able to accurately pinpoint the location and depth of the trouble area. The problem area will be marked on the ground surface. Common sewer line problems are root intrusion, holes, pooling, cracks, and pipe separation. A functioning sewer line may have problems that do not currently affect the performance of the line. However, these problems may cause a future sewer backup leading to an unexpected emergency line repair or replacement.

During the building boom of the mid-2000's, building materials in the U.S., particularly drywall, were in short supply. This shortage was compounded by the additional demand for drywall required to repair damage caused by several large hurricanes in Florida and other states during that time period. Unaware of the unintended consequences from inadequate quality control in China, numerous drywall importers serving builders and remediation contractors found a convenient solution to this shortage by importing millions of pounds of drywall from China. It was abundant and cheap, though obviously a heavy material such as drywall is not inexpensive to ship around the world. That "solution" is now haunting thousands of homeowners in Florida who are concerned their drywall is releasing sulfur gases that can corrode copper wiring, destroy A/C and refrigerator cooling coils, blacken plumbing fixtures and other metals, and possibly sicken people.
