A 4-point home inspection is a specialized inspection focusing on four main systems of a home:
1. Roof: The inspector evaluates the condition and age of the roof, looking for any signs of damage, wear, or leaks.
2. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning): This includes inspecting the heating and cooling systems to ensure they are functioning properly and are in good condition.
3. Electrical System: The inspector checks the electrical panel, wiring, and components to ensure they meet current safety standards and are in good working order.
4. Plumbing System: The plumbing inspection assesses the condition of pipes, fixtures, and water heaters to ensure there are no leaks or other issues affecting the plumbing system.
4-point inspections are typically conducted on older homes or homes being considered for insurance coverage. They provide a focused assessment of these critical systems to determine their condition and identify any necessary repairs or upgrades.

A wind mitigation inspection is a specialized assessment of a home's resilience and ability to withstand windstorms and hurricanes. The primary purpose of this inspection is to determine the effectiveness of certain structural and construction features that can reduce the damage caused by windstorms. These inspections are particularly common in areas prone to hurricanes and strong wind events.
During a wind mitigation inspection, the inspector evaluates various aspects of the home, including:
1. Roof Covering: The type and condition of the roof covering materials are assessed. Certain roofing materials, such as impact-resistant shingles or tiles, can offer better protection against wind damage.
2. Roof Deck Attachment: The method used to attach the roof deck (plywood or other material under the roof covering) to the roof trusses or rafters is inspected. Secure attachments with strong fasteners can improve the roof's resistance to uplift forces during high winds.
3. Roof-to-Wall Connections: The strength and type of connections between the roof structure and the walls of the home are examined. Stronger connections, such as hurricane straps or clips, can enhance the home's ability to withstand wind forces.
4. Secondary Water Resistance: This refers to features that prevent water intrusion if the roof covering is damaged during a windstorm. Examples include self-adhering underlayment or foam sealants applied to gaps in the roof deck.
5. Opening Protection: The inspection may also include an assessment of protections for windows, doors, and other openings against wind-borne debris. Impact-resistant glass or storm shutters are examples of effective protection measures.
Wind mitigation inspections are typically conducted by qualified inspectors or engineers and may be required by insurance companies for homeowners seeking discounts on windstorm insurance premiums. The findings from the inspection can help homeowners understand their home's vulnerabilities to wind damage and potentially take steps to improve its resilience.
