A filled-in 4-Point Inspection Form example: an inspector completes the form for one house

4-Point Inspection Form example filled out, example: an inspector completes the form for one house
A Florida-licensed inspector fills out the whole form for one house. The house has one circuit breaker panel with 200 total amps, central AC and heat, and one roof. The picture shows page one of the form, and every value is made up. The inspector took every minimum photo, so every photo box is ticked. The amperage is sufficient and the inspector finds no presence of any listed wiring problem or hazard, so the electrical system is Satisfactory and its explanation line stays empty. The wiring is copper and the house has no second panel, so every second panel box stays empty. Central AC and heat are present and in good working order, so the primary heat source line stays empty. The house has no wood-burning stove, gas fireplace or space heater, so the installed and portable questions stay empty. The water heater has a temperature pressure relief valve and no leak, past or present. Every plumbing fixture row is Satisfactory except the sump pump, which the house lacks, so that row is N/A and the plumbing comments stay empty. The supply and drain piping are original to the home and made of copper, so the re-piped boxes and the PEX year stay empty. The one roof is the Predominant Roof, fully replaced and Satisfactory with no damage or leaks, so the Secondary Roof and the percent of replacement stay empty. The roof, the Main Panel and the HVAC System were updated, so the Additional Comments/Observations identify the types of updates, dates completed and by whom. The inspector signs and dates the form in the signature block.
