Common Issues Uncovered During Tampa Building Inspections

Tampa building inspection services often uncover common issues. These issues can affect both residential and commercial properties.

One common issue is water damage. This is often due to Tampa’s humid climate and frequent rainstorms. Water damage can lead to mold growth and structural issues.

Another common issue is outdated electrical systems. These can pose a fire risk and may not meet current safety standards.

Termite damage is also frequently found. These pests can cause significant structural damage if not addressed promptly.

Lastly, roof damage is common, especially after hurricane season. Regular inspections can help identify and address these issues early.

The Role of Technology in Modern Building Inspections

CFBI believes that technology plays a crucial role in modern building inspections. It helps our inspectors to be more accurate and efficient.

One example is the use of thermal imaging. This technology can detect hidden issues like water leaks or insulation gaps.

Drones are also used for roof inspections. They provide a safe and efficient way to inspect hard-to-reach areas.

Software tools help in generating detailed reports. These reports provide clear and concise information about the property’s condition.

Schedule an Inspection

A thorough building inspection is invaluable. It provides a clear picture of a property’s condition.

It can reveal potential issues that could lead to costly repairs. It also ensures that the property meets safety and compliance standards.

I had an exceptional experience with Central Florida Building Inspectors for the final inspection of my new build in Minneola, FL on Monday, February 17, 2025. Eric, our inspector, was not only professional and knowledgeable but also demonstrated great attention to detail. He meticulously examined every aspect of the build, ensuring nothing was overlooked. The inspection report was incredibly thorough, providing detailed descriptions, pictures of any affected items, and valuable analysis and recommendations. Eric’s dedication and precision made us feel confident in the quality and safety of our new home. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and detailed building inspection!

I chose CFBI for my new home build inspection after carefully researching a few companies to handle the task since I was moving to Florida from out of state and read it was a much needed process to avoid headaches later on. Unfortunately, due to a family event, I was unsuccessful in fully getting CFBI to handle the inspection. Months later I received a notice from another company mentioning an 11-month home warranty inspection that recommends a home inspection be done prior to end of homes new build warranty given by the builder that can uncover issues that might have arose during that time. I didn't have any idea of what to do, but I started to look into details and if people received these types of inspections. While looking into companies to handle the inspection it was hard trying to pinpoint the best company for the job, but remembered that my initial contact with CFBI was quite pleasant and with a single call things was set in motion. My inspector was Luzmarina, and she was amazing! She was extremely thorough and provided answers to concerns i had as well as informing me of issues she noticed. She was also very focused on the quality of work she provided while a little shadow followed her around most parts of the house(my little daughter), responding to all twenty plus hellos that was said. The report of the inspection was promptly provided to me before I even got ready for work the next day with corresponding photos and descriptions, as well as a video for the sewer inspection I also added. Before I could even reach out to the builder with the report, they contacted me and let us know they would be addressing the issues that were found. Though this was a new experience for me, I wouldn't do anything different. I would choose CFBI every time and go with them for future needs.

CFBI did an amazing job on my pre-purchase home inspection. The thoroughness was very much appreciated, not a single inch of the home missed. They reporting and follow up from the team left me feeling comfortable proceeding with my home purchase. They are not the cheapest option out there but the quality of service is more than worth it

My wife and I had Luzmarina inspect a home for us and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was so knowledgeable and so patient. She not only answered every question my wife and I had as we followed her around but she was happy to do so. It's very clear that Luzmarina is not only good at her job but loves it as well. There was no crack left undocumented and no stone unturned. She went above and beyond in inspecting the home, making sure that our concerns were addressed. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an inspector.

Sean was awesome! Bought a new home in Daytona, from start to finish I was kept up to date about time of arrival, he arrived early and got right to work. The quality of the report was excellent and extremely well done. Found over 33 problems that I didn't notice. Always hire the pros. CFBI is the best in Central Florida hands down.Thanks again Sean!
