Four point inspections are the tools that insurance underwriters use to determine risk. As you might have guessed, there are 4 main things that are being examined during a 4 point inspection: 1) Electrical, 2) Plumbing, 3) Roof and Structure, and 4) HVAC.

A home inspector has the option to list the age, overall condition, material, and basic type for each of these categories. There is no option for the inspector to add information about the house (such as mitigating circumstances), as the underwriters just want to know if the house has any features that have been known to increase risk.

What is A Home Inspection?

A lot of people have the wrong idea about home inspections — they believe that these reports are somehow predictive of the future condition of the home, the quality of the construction or the longevity of the systems. While this information may be able to be extrapolated from a home inspection, that’s not the primary function of this particular service. A home inspection is simply a snapshot of your home at one moment in time.

While a home inspector worth their salt will be able to give you general information about systems, the condition of your future home and how long you can expect materials to last, they’re not gypsy fortune-tellers. Your home inspector cannot see the future, even an hour or two beyond their departure from the home. What they can see are existing structural or system failures, signs of pests or recurrent problems, and the condition of the home at the time they observed it.

Unfortunately, like people, materials in buildings age at irregular rates. Your roof may look great today, but the tree that overhangs your home and continually sheds onto it could age it prematurely. In the same vein, even though the air conditioner is 10 years old, it might have a lot of life left if it has been well cared for over the years and protected from the elements. The various materials and systems in your home have average expected life spans, but there’s no such thing as an average h

The ASHI Standards of Practice set mandates for home inspectors. These standards are regularly reviewed and updated. They have been developed through a review of consumer concerns and conditions in the market. Professional groups outside of ASHI as well as governments use these standards when outlining expected professional performance for inspectors.

Under the ASHI Standards of Practice, home inspectors are required to provide unbiased information about the condition of a home’s systems and components at the time of the inspection. As part the process, professionals are to report any inspected components and systems which are found to be deficient, not working correctly, unsafe or close to the end of their service. In their reports, inspectors are to indicate any systems or components which were not inspected and report why an inspection did not occur. Inspection reports may also recommend monitoring or correcting any problems, although reports generally stop short of making specific suggestions for remedies. If it is not clear why a specific component or system was found to be unsafe or deficient, the report will offer an explanation.
