What to Expect From a Home Inspection in Orlando
A standard home inspection covers roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and foundation. Your inspector walks the property and delivers a written report with photos within 24 hours.
Central Florida homes have quirks that make local inspectors valuable. The humid subtropical climate accelerates mold growth, aging roofs, and HVAC wear.
Top Issues Found in Central Florida
- Roof age and damage — Florida sun and storms take a toll.
- HVAC condition — Systems running year-round age faster here.
- Moisture and mold — Poor ventilation plus Florida humidity is common.
