Apopka Home Inspection Services

My Apopka home inspection services are second to none. I’ve designed an inspection agenda to accommodate just about any service a prospective Orlando home buyer or seller could want.

My Inspections Include:

• Orlando home inspection services
• Pre-Purchase Home Inspection – This is our most common home inspection. This is a complete home inspection for a buyer under contract for a home purchase. It includes everything in the standard home inspection package. Depending on age and features of the home, additional services may be added.
• Pre-Listing Home Inspection – This is a complete home inspection for a seller prior to listing their home for sale. This is to give a seller an independent view of their home’s condition. And to give them an idea of the repairs needed. Depending on age and features of the home, additional services may be added.
• New Construction Phased Inspections – This is a series of inspections done during the construction of your new home. This includes up to four phases of your home construction:
  • Pre-Concrete – Prior to placement of your concrete foundation and slap, the forms are checked for level and conformance with the plans. Rebar is checked for proper placement. Moisture barrier is checked. Initial utility rough-in is checked.
  • Lintels and Trusses – Filled cells and lintels are checked for rebar and for air pockets in the concrete. Trusses are checked for proper placement, attachment, moisture barrier and load members.
  • Pre-Drywall – This inspection is our chance to actually see through your interior walls. Utility rough in is checked (electrical, plumbing, AC). Windows are checked for proper attachment. Interior framing is checked for placement and plumb.
  • Final Walk-Through – Prior to a walk-through with your builder, a home inspection is done on the home with you. This allows me to point out any deficiencies in the home prior to your final acceptance.
• 11^th Month Warranty Inspection – You bought a new house. In one year, the builder’s warranty will expire. Your home is inspected again as if you had just purchased it. Any issues found can then be submitted to your builder for repairs prior to your warranty’s expiration. Depending on features of the home, additional services may be added.

Plus Additional Services:

• • Air Quality – Air samples are taken and sent to a laboratory for the testing of possible mold.
  • Buildfax Report – Some counties and cities are easier to search for building permits than others. A Buildfax report is included with your inspection to prevent you from having to search for permits.
  • Crawl Space Inspections – If your home does not have a concrete slab floor, but a crawlspace under the home, it needs to be inspected. There is an additional up-charge for this. i-Inspect has the only i-Bot crawlspace robot in central Florida. This allows inspections in crawlspaces where normal inspectors cannot fit. The i-Bot is fitted with a 360 degree camera to provide the best view possible of any defects in the crawlspace. This can be done as a stand-alone service or as a part of your home inspection.
  • Orlando Four Point Inspection – This is a form for your insurance company. If the home is older than 20 years or the roof is older than 15 years, most insurance companies require this form before they will write an insurance policy. This can be done as a stand-alone service or as a part of your home inspection.
  • Manufactured Home Tie-Down (Foundation) Certification and HUD Compliance – we can provide buyers with this form if required by their lender. The form is reviewed and signed by a Professional Engineer. This can be done as a stand-alone service or as a part of your home inspection.
  • Orlando Pool Inspection – The swimming pool is checked for function, including pumps, valves, filters, heating equipment and chlorinating equipment. The area surrounding the pool is checked for safety compliance. This can be done as a stand-alone service or as a part of your home inspection.
  • Roof Certifications – This is a form for your insurance company. Many insurance companies are asking for this form on roofs older than 10 years old now. This can be done as a stand-alone service or as a part of your home inspection.
  • Orlando Wind Mitigation Inspection – This is a form for your insurance company. If your roof is newer than 2004, you can probably receive credits (discounts) on your home-owner’s insurance premium with this form. This can be done as a stand-alone service or as a part of your home inspection.
  • Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO) Inspections – This is an inspection for wood destroying insects such as termites. Some lenders require this inspection. i-Inspect does not perform these inspections. They should be done by a licensed pest control operator. i-Inspect works closely with two companies that provide this service. We would be happy to schedule your WDO inspection during your home inspection. Or, if you have a favorite pest control company, they are welcome to do your WDO during the home inspection as well.

Commercial Inspections: Commercial property inspections differ from home inspections. Industrial spaces, Multi-occupant dwellings, retail spaces, and warehouse spaces all have different requirements. We can meet those requirements.
