Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Four Point Inspections
Friday, October 18, 2019
A “four point” is an abbreviated inspection on a standard form, usually only a few pages with attached photos. Many insurance companies require one before offering a homeowner’s policy for older homes and mobile homes. The focus of the inspection is identifying any defects that may cause a claim during the life of the policy, such as an older water heater, corroded plumbing, a leaking roof, or haphazard electrical wiring.
