​Wind Mitigation Inspections​

Wind Mitigation Inspections - Florida insurance companies are required to offer homeowners discounted rates for homes that have particular hurricane resistant features.  These discounts are not automatically credited to you when you purchase your homeowners policy. It is necessary to have an inspection and to ask your insurance company for the discount. It is critical to document that your home was built to these standards by having it inspected by a Certified Professional Home Inspector or a qualified contractor.  Many existing homes already have some of the key features that may qualify for discounts on insurance premiums.

Wind Mitigation Inspections are a great investment and offer a great potential ROI.  Homeowners can possibly save up to 40% on their insurance premiums, making it well worth the cost of the inspection.  I offer discounted rates for combining a wind Mitigation with any other inspection.

Mold Inspections

Advanced Mold Testing Is the process of testing the surface, carpet, and/or air for the presence of mold. Our mold testing may include "Surface Swabs", "Tape Lifts", "Carpet Testing, "Inner Wall Air Samplings" and /or room "Air Samplings" to gather samples to be tested in a laboratory. In approximately 72 hours after the samples are collected, the laboratory results (detailing the types and quantities of mold found) will be presented for the homeowner to review.

With any type of mold inspection, the process often focuses on areas of the home that provide conditions that are ideal for the growth of different types of mold.  In many homes, this requires looking closely at any area that is susceptible to moisture intrusion problem.  Kitchens, bathrooms, attics, window sills, and enclosed areas that contain water pipes, are a few places where mold can start up and grow if left untreated.

Since mold can begin to grow and spread before becoming easily visible, it is often necessary to augment your home inspection with a mold inspection. This makes it possible to locate and remove dangerous mold before it has a chance to emit spores into air ducts and spread into other areas of the home undetected.

​Please note that this service does not include any type of mold remediation.
 

WDO/ Termite Inspection

​WDO/Termite Inspections

Even though termites are only about the size of a grain of rice, they can cause major damage to wooden structures over time if allowed to colonize and multiply. Having your house inspected for termites is a major factor in the proper maintenance of your home. Since termites typically eat wood from the inside out, they often go undetected.

A Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection Report is a of an inspection of a home for visible and accessible evidence of an infestation or damage by wood destroying organisms. usually this means subterranean termites or dry wood termites, but will also cover wood destroying beetles and wood destroying fungi.  A WDO inspection report is often required by the lender when a property is being sold as part of the transaction.  If an inspection is being performed for the lender it must be reported on a specific form, by a state licensed pest control company.

All WDO/ termite inspections booked with Island Home Inspectors are performed by third party vendor.
