The ISN team has been busy to start 2024. We kicked off the year by announcing 24 major improvements to ISN, which included a revamped app! Then we released the Florida Wind Mitigation template for our Florida home inspectors who deal with harsh weather events.
You might think we’re content with all the recent added functionality, but we’re not! Today, we’re excited to announce the Citizens 4-Point template now available for the ISN Report Writer.
What is the Citizens 4-Point template?
Florida home inspectors will know this template well since Citizens Property Insurance Corporation of Florida requires a four-point inspection for all property owner, dwelling, and mobile home applications. This inspection is often required by insurance companies to understand the condition and risks associated with an older home and can influence insurance coverage decisions and premiums.
During a four-point inspection, a Florida-licensed inspector checks the following:
- Roof Condition and Age: Inspectors evaluate the condition, age, and remaining life of the roof. They look for signs of leaks, damage, and general wear and tear.
- Electrical System: This involves assessing the electrical panel, wiring, and safety features to ensure they meet current standards and do not pose a fire risk.
- Plumbing System: Inspectors check the plumbing system, including pipes and fixtures, for leaks, material type, and any potential issues that could lead to water damage.
- HVAC System: The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is evaluated for its condition, age, and functionality to ensure it operates safely and efficiently.
