If you’re buying a new home in Fort Myers or renewing your existing policy, your insurance provider may require a home inspection. Understanding what to expect—and how to prepare—can make the process smoother and reduce your risk of denied claims in the future.


Why Do Insurance Companies Conduct Inspections?

Home insurance inspections help your insurer:

  • Assess the risk level of your home
  • Confirm the property’s condition
  • Verify coverage limits are accurate
  • Spot potential hazards before they lead to a claim


What Inspectors Look For

Depending on your policy type, inspectors may evaluate:

  • Roof age and condition
  • Plumbing and electrical systems
  • HVAC equipment
  • Foundation and structural integrity
  • Safety features (smoke detectors, handrails, etc.)
  • Signs of water damage or mold
  • Risk factors like outdated wiring, overgrown trees, or trampolines


How to Prepare for Your Inspection

  • Fix obvious issues like leaky faucets or missing shingles
  • Clean gutters and trim overhanging trees
  • Replace dead batteries in smoke detectors
  • Document any recent upgrades or repairs


Post-Inspection: What Happens Next?

You may receive:

  • A clear approval
  • A list of required repairs or improvements
  • A change in coverage terms or premium


If your insurer finds issues, All Service Adjusting can step in to review your report and help you address discrepancies—especially if your home is later damaged and you need to file a claim.
