A Naples Home Inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of the structure. The inspection is based on observation of the visible and apparent condition of the structure and its components on the date of the inspection and can not predict future conditions.      

A Naples Home Inspection report should identify and describe material defects observed, what systems, structures and components inspected in the home. 

 Report should be in a written format, either by hand or computer generated not just verbal report.

It is common for a Naples home inspection report to contain recommendations for corrections, monitoring of suspect problems or further evaluation by professionals such as a licensed plumber, HVAC Service Company or roofing contractor.

It is unethical for your Naples home inspector to perform repairs to problems they find during their home inspection.  It is unethical to test for radon and then perform radon mitigation on same job.  Mold inspections should also be performed by an independent company that does not do remediation of mold on the same project.

Consumers / homebuyers should understand that home inspectors and mold inspectors are two different professions, new Florida Law will require separate licenses and requirements effective July 1, 2010.  http://www.naplesmoldinspection.com/id12.html

Home Inspectors "Standard of Practice" does NOT cover environmental issues such as MOLD, RADON, or "Chinese" Drywall.

Home Inspector Errors and Omissions Insurance does NOT cover environmental issues such as MOLD, RADON, or "Chinese" Drywall.

AmIAQC board Certified Indoor Environmentalists (CIE) are qualified to perform Chinese Drywall Inspections and their E&O insurance can cover the inspection.

Note:

  • Professional Liability, E&O that covers Chinese Drywall assessments and Preliminary mold inspections / testing.
  • Microbial Consulting Coverage, E&O that covers MOLD Post remediation inspection/testing (Clearance)

You need to know how much of the homes electrical system will be checked by your Naples home inspector; main service panel, all outlets etc. Can your Naples home inspector just check the temperature of the HVAC system or does he hire an HVAC service company to do a full check of the system during the home inspection? Will the Naples home inspector walk the roof or just look at the roof with binoculars to identify defects? A Naples home inspector should check for leaks under sinks and compare water flow between two functional fixtures operated simultaneously. Homebuyers should understand Naples home inspector vary in experience but also vary in what they inspect.

Home Inspectors providing Real Estate, residential and commercial property inspection services in Naples and throughout Southwest Florida. Your inspector’s mission is to provide high quality inspection services that comply with and exceed the Standards of Practice of a National Association for Certified Home Inspectors such as ASHI and NACHI.

The most widely used standard of practice (what inspectors do and don't do) for home inspectors is published by InterNACHI, to view click on this link. NACHI Standard of Practice ASHI and InterNACHI are the two largest home inspector certifying bodies in the US

 
Did you know that a home inspector is different than a mold inspector?  Naples Home Owners, Buyers, Sellers, Realtors, and Insurance Company representitives should be aware of the difference.  Some Naples Home inspectors collect air samples for mold but few if any can interpret the results. Florida passed a new law in 2007 regulating the two very different professions, home inspection and mold inspection (effective in 2010). 
The EPA has recommended you hire mold inspectors that have experience in collecting mold samples (testing) and interpreting the results.
Your Naples Home Inspector best serves his client by hiring a Certified indoor Environmentalist for all Environmental issues including Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Mold Inspection in Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Palm Beach, anywhere in Florida or the rest of the country.

Realtors do not ask inspectors for a "Certificate of Insurance".
  • Home Inspectors should have liability insurance.
  • Mold Inspectors should have liability and errors and omissions insurance.
  • Chinese Drywall inspectors should have liability with E&O for Chinese Drywall.
Dozens of High Rises and most all builders require a "Certificate of Insurance" for inspector to enter property.  Homebuyers and Sellers need to protect themselves by requiring the inspector to have proper insurance.
Consumers should be aware that very few Realtors ask inspectors if they have the needed insurance before they recommend their services to you.
