1. General Home Inspection in Orlando & Central Florida
A general home inspection is a visual, non-invasive examination of the accessible systems and components of a residential property. Its purpose is to identify observed material defects and conditions that may affect the property's safety, operation, or maintenance.
Our professional home inspection services are available in Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport, Clermont, St. Cloud, and throughout Central Florida.
We follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and evaluate visible and accessible components of the property, including roofing, exterior areas, foundation, electrical systems, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, attic, interior areas, doors, windows, and installed appliances.
A typical general home inspection takes approximately two hours on site, followed by approximately two additional hours preparing a detailed inspection report with photographs, observations, and recommendations.
Same-Day Home Inspection Reports: We typically deliver our inspection reports by email in PDF format on the same day as the inspection.
The cost of a general home inspection depends on the property's square footage and other relevant characteristics.

We provide professional Four-Point Inspections in Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport, Clermont, St. Cloud, and throughout Central Florida.

The roof covering, approximate age, visible condition, signs of deterioration, and estimated remaining useful life when applicable.

4. HUD/FHA Manufactured Home Foundation Certification in Central Florida
What Is a HUD/FHA Manufactured Home Foundation Certification?
A HUD/FHA Manufactured Home Foundation Certification is an engineering evaluation used to determine whether the permanent foundation of a manufactured home complies with applicable requirements for the intended financing program.
Manufactured home foundation certifications may be required by mortgage lenders for FHA, VA, or conventional financing, depending on the loan program and lender requirements.
We assist homeowners, homebuyers, real estate professionals, and mortgage lenders with manufactured home foundation certification services throughout Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport, Lakeland, Clermont, St. Cloud, and Central Florida.
What Is Evaluated During a Manufactured Home Foundation Certification?
The engineering evaluation may include the following components, as applicable:
1. Foundation System:
Evaluation of the permanent foundation and its structural support components.
2. Piers and Supports:
Assessment of the foundation support system, including applicable piers, footings, and structural connections.
3. Anchoring and Tie-Down Systems:
Evaluation of the anchoring components intended to resist applicable wind and other structural loads.
4. Structural Stability:
Review of the foundation system in relation to the applicable engineering and financing requirements.
Engineering Certification for FHA, VA, and Conventional Loans
The HUD Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing provides technical guidance for evaluating permanent foundations under applicable FHA requirements.
When required, a licensed professional engineer evaluates the foundation and determines whether an engineering certification can be issued.
The engineering certification is separate from a general manufactured home inspection.
A general home inspection evaluates visible and accessible systems and components of the manufactured home. It does not constitute an engineering certification of the foundation, piers, anchoring systems, or tie-downs.

Our inspections are visual and non-invasive. Underground piping, concealed equipment, well depth, water yield, and pump capacity testing are not included unless specifically agreed upon.
Water Well Inspection vs. Drinking Water Quality Testing
A water well equipment inspection is different from laboratory testing of drinking water quality.
Our general well inspection does not establish whether the water is safe for drinking. Testing for bacteria, nitrates, chemical contaminants, or other water quality concerns requires appropriate sampling and laboratory analysis.

At Inspectors in Central Florida LLC, we offer
infrared camera inspections in Orlando and Central Florida
to help identify temperature differences that may indicate
hidden moisture, insulation deficiencies, air leakage,
or overheating electrical components.
Infrared thermal imaging technology allows a home inspector
to observe surface temperature patterns that may not be
apparent during a standard visual inspection.
This technology can provide additional information
about certain conditions affecting a property's
systems and components.
What Can an Infrared Camera Help Identify?
Temperature differences associated with possible moisture intrusion.
Potential insulation deficiencies in walls and ceilings.
Air leakage around windows, doors, and other accessible areas.
Unusual heat patterns in accessible electrical components.
Temperature variations associated with HVAC performance.
Important:
Infrared cameras detect surface temperature differences,
not moisture directly. Suspected conditions may require
additional evaluation or testing to determine their cause.
Thermal imaging does not reveal every concealed defect.
Contact Inspectors in Central Florida LLC to schedule
a professional home inspection with infrared camera
services in Orlando, Kissimmee, Clermont, Davenport,
and surrounding Central Florida communities.
10. Termite Inspection in Orlando & Central Florida
Termites and other wood-destroying organisms can cause
significant damage to residential properties in Florida.
Identifying visible signs of possible termite activity
or wood deterioration is an important consideration
when purchasing or maintaining a home.
Signs of Possible Termite Activity
• Visible wood damage or deterioration.
• Mud tubes on accessible foundation walls or structural components.
• Discarded insect wings near windows or doors.
• Damaged or hollow-sounding wood components.
• Other visible conditions suggesting possible wood-destroying organism activity.
During a general home inspection, visible conditions
that may suggest termite damage can be documented
when observed. However, a general home inspection
is not a specialized termite or
Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection.
Important:
A formal termite or WDO inspection and report
should be obtained from a properly licensed
pest control company in Florida.
Contact Inspectors in Central Florida LLC

in Orlando, Kissimmee, Clermont, Davenport,
and surrounding Central Florida communities.
