When it comes to home inspections in Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach counties, not only does the scope of an inspection include a variety of services that you may select from; but your appointed home inspection company such as GGR Home Inspections will likely provide additional services to augment their findings and offer more comprehensive validation.

For instance, there could be mold growth near the air conditioning unit – if your home inspector can’t prove this without offering a sampling test, it’ll add an extra $150 to $250 on top of your full inspection fee. Alternatively, you can get a separate mold inspection performed at roughly between $350 and up to half a thousand dollars.

What do home inspections include? Other common services a home inspection company may offer are:

• Sewer Scope –  All buyers should obtain a sewer inspection if the home in question is more than 20 years old. The line might be fairly new compared to homes built before 1950, but it’s fairly common for tree roots to clog it up over 20 years or so and other issues.

• 

• Infrared Scan – Infrared (thermal imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows the inspector to show clients things about their homes or buildings that can’t be revealed using conventional inspection methods.

  

• Pest/Termite – During an inspection, trained professionals will check the interior and exterior of your home, as well as areas like crawl spaces, for signs of termite damage and recommend necessary treatments. If you are buying a home, your mortgage lender may require a termite inspection for loan approval

In Florida, homeowners may be required by their homeowner’s insurer to provide a 4-Point & Wind Mitigation inspection. This is typically for homes older homes but and specific age can vary between insurance companies.
