Since 1971, HouseMaster’s four-point inspections have helped property owners better understand their homes and qualify for lower insurance rates. While it’s typically not legally required, many insurance companies request a certified four-point inspection on older homes before offering a new policy or renewing an existing one. Homeowners count on HouseMaster's experience and resources to maximize savings and generate an accurate assessment.

What’s Included in a Four-Point Inspection?
Our Four-Point Home Inspection Process
A four-point home inspection covers readily accessible HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and roofing infrastructure. The inspection documents the current conditions of these crucial systems and is often used to determine risk and liability for insurance companies. It’s important to note that four-point and buyer inspections may cover different areas of the home.
-
Step 1Visually examine the roof for signs of damage or leaks and estimate when it may need to be replaced.
-
Step 2Inspect the electrical panel, check for loose or exposed wires, and test several outlets for functionality.
-
Step 3Evaluate visible plumbing components, including pipes and fixtures. Document pipe materials that may affect water quality.
-
Step 4Check the HVAC system for overall condition and age, and make sure the equipment functions.
-
Step 5Compile findings into a comprehensive four-point inspection report and deliver it to the client for submission.
