KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

What the inspection covers

Four systems, one focused report. We document accessible conditions and the information requested for your insurer’s review.

Roof

Visible condition, covering information, and available age documentation relevant to the requested report.

Electrical

Accessible electrical components and observed conditions that need to be documented or evaluated further.

Plumbing

Accessible supply and drain systems, water-heating equipment, and visible signs of leaks or deterioration.

Heating & cooling

Accessible HVAC equipment, system information, and observed operating conditions.

Clear documentation for your insurance conversation

Use the report to discuss the documented conditions with your insurance agent. The insurer decides whether it needs repairs, additional information or another report; the inspection does not approve coverage.

The insurer decides whether to offer coverage and whether repairs or additional documents are needed. An inspection does not guarantee insurance approval or replace a Pre-Purchase Inspection.

Questions about your inspection

Who needs a 4 Point Inspection?

Homeowners or buyers whose insurance company requests a report on the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems need a 4 Point Inspection. There is no single home-age cutoff that applies to every insurer. Your agent’s request tells you whether it is needed for your property.

Is a 4 Point Inspection the same as Wind Mitigation?

No. A 4 Point Inspection documents the condition of four systems. Wind Mitigation documents wind-resistant construction features. An insurer may ask for one or both.

How much does a 4 Point Inspection cost?

The published base rate is $175 for homes under 4,000 sq ft, $300 for 4,000–5,999 sq ft and $450 for 6,000–6,999 sq ft. A 4 Point + Wind Mitigation combo starts at $275 for homes under 4,000 sq ft. Larger or multi-unit properties need a tailored quote; your property quote confirms the total.

When should I arrange the inspection for my insurance deadline?

Arrange it as soon as your insurer requests the report. Schedule before the submission deadline, with time for the carrier’s review and any requested repairs or follow-up documentation. Share the exact deadline when booking so we can confirm whether the appointment fits.

What if my insurer requests repairs or more information?

Send us the carrier’s request. We can explain the findings and discuss updated inspection documentation; an appropriate contractor evaluates repairs, and the insurer decides what it accepts.

Use the current portal for earlier system work

Parkland has replaced its Trakit permitting system with My Government Online. For roof or equipment history, begin at the current Building Department page and ask for help if older records are unavailable. That history supports—but does not replace—the four-system condition observations.

Use Parkland’s current permitting route

  1. Start from Parkland’s Building Department page.
  2. Follow its current My Government Online link; the former Trakit system is no longer available.
  3. For records you cannot find, ask Building staff how to research the relevant address and work period.
Parkland’s current Building Department portal

Use the record to prepare questions. It does not establish the home’s current condition.

Bring these details to your inspection

  • Send the insurer’s form request and the date it needs the report.
  • Look for replacement records through Parkland’s current Building Department links.
  • Keep original construction age separate from later roof or equipment replacement dates.

Local property questions

An old Parkland portal no longer opens. How do I find system records?

Use the current Building Department page, which links My Government Online in place of Trakit. Ask the city about older records you cannot find. Installation invoices may provide additional context, but the inspector and carrier need to know what is documented and what remains uncertain.
