Fine print, discounts, and add-ons
Tampa inspections need thermal + drone documentation.
Tampa homes deal with humidity, heavy rain, roof wear from sun and storms, drainage concerns, and aging systems. These issues can hide until closing or after.
Humidity and wind-driven rain can hide moisture behind walls and around windows, showers, and HVAC drain lines.
Sun and storm season can wear down shingles and sealants, especially around flashing, vents, and penetrations.
Standing water, clogged gutters, and poor grading can push moisture toward the structure after heavy summer downpours.
Older HVAC units, electrical panels, and plumbing materials deserve a closer look for safety, performance, and remaining service life.

What does a home inspection cost in Tampa?
Pricing depends mainly on the home’s size, age, and inspection scope, plus add-ons like sewer scope, pool/spa, WDO, or insurance reports. The fastest way to get an exact price is to book your time slot and enter the property details, or call/text for a quote based on the address and square footage.
What inspections are required in Tampa?
A standard home inspection is commonly ordered during a purchase, while insurance-related reports may be requested by an insurance agent or carrier. In Florida, homeowners are often asked for a 4-Point Inspection, Wind Mitigation, or Roof Certification depending on the property and policy situation.
Should I add Residential+?
Residential+ is a strong value if you want added confidence after the inspection. It includes a $0 deductible 90-day warranty and a BuildFax property history report for additional property context where data is available.
Should I add a sewer scope?
A sewer scope can be especially valuable for older homes, properties with large trees, homes with slow drains, or properties with prior plumbing history. It gives you a video look inside the main line before you buy, sell, or start repairs.
Do you inspect pools and spas?
Yes. Pool and spa inspections review visible, accessible components such as structure, pumps, heaters, safety features, and visible plumbing to help you avoid expensive surprises.
