We Offer Specialized Inspections 

What makes Tampa inspection services stand out is that we perform specialized and comprehensive inspections compared to our competitors. While other companies typically have their own individualized inspection checklists, we have advanced and detail-oriented measures for testing.

1. 4-Point Inspections

Although most companies do not perform standard 4-point inspections, we do. To evaluate potential liabilities in older homes, we use traditional 4-point inspections that check 

• HVAC systems
• Electrical wiring/panels
• Plumbing
• Roof condition
• Remaining life expectancy 

Since older homes (25 years and older) are less likely to be insured, 4-point inspections help resolve or address any concerns.

2. Seller’s Pre-listing Inspections

The seller’s pre-listing inspections occur before the home is on the market. It includes examining the property for mechanical and structural issues. They assist in determining which systems and structures require repair, at the request of property owners. 

As a result, the seller and the agent can accurately represent the home by disclosing damage to buyers. In doing so, this eliminates potential lawsuits. This way, the buyer has the opportunity to resolve any issues. If you want to sell your home, this inspection will be beneficial.

3. Wind Mitigation

Wind mitigation inspections are necessary because Florida’s high winds can lead to massive destruction.

Assessment involves checking for the wind-resistant characteristics of the roof and its attachment to the walls. These characteristics further include evaluations for concrete block construction, a hip roof, single or double roof straps, gable end bracing, type of roof covering used, reinforced garage doors, impact-resistant glass, and window shutters.

A wind mitigation certificate is beneficial because it may qualify your home or property for large discounts on wind insurance, saving you lots of money. Insurance companies place a high value on wind-resistant features since they minimize storm damage. As a Florida resident, any upgrades will prevent hurricanes from affecting your indoor space. 

4. Mobile Home Inspections 

Mobile homes are built differently than regular homes. Therefore, we use a revised set of criteria for these inspections. The main features of these inspections include checks for walls and ceilings, wind damage, overall structure, and electrical wiring. 

Specifically, mobile homes must be strapped to the ground since they are more vulnerable to storms. And they must have aluminum wiring compared to traditional homes that require copper. Understanding these primary concerns and performing a thorough home review makes our Tampa inspection services successful. 

5. Infrared & Thermal Scanning

Infrared imaging or thermal scanning is a scientific tool that measures infrared radiation emitted from your home and temperature fluctuations. This scanning allows professionals to track your heat system’s flow. In the process, inspectors can easily find defects invisible to the naked eye, allowing them to look under the hood of your home with less effort. 

Experts can identify overheated electrical systems, HVAC air leaks, roof leaks, moisture intrusion, and insufficient insulation. Quickly, this technology is becoming a popular go-to tool for inspectors.  

6. Commercial Inspections

Along with the standard home inspections, Divinity also performs commercial inspections. Properties are checked for 

• Overall site characteristics
  • Paving
  • Landscaping
  • Utilities
• Structural frame
• Building envelope
• Roof surface areas
