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Another common issue is outdated electrical systems.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.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality inspections and to thoroughly report our findings in order to help our clients make informed decisions.

My experience was exceptional. The inspector, Mr. Bryon Borchardt, was outstanding. He demonstrated a wealth of experience, knowledge, and patience, taking the time to explain every detail and address all of our concerns thoroughly. We truly appreciate his professionalism. Thanks to Mr. Borchardt and CFBI, we now have the peace of mind knowing that the home we are buying has been thoroughly inspected by true professionals. Thank you so much!

Highly recommend! I requested a next-day inspection on a home we are purchasing on a Sunday and recieved confirmation that day we were all set for our inspection appointment on Monday. Easy, user-friendly portal to make payment and access your report. We had our full inspection report uploaded there by the end of the same day the inspection occurred. The inspector was super friendly and knowledgeable. The communication and entire experience was great. At least one aspect of the home-buying process has been stress-free. These are really great professionals that I highly recommend to anyone!

The service and follow up prior to the actual inspection was very good. On the day of the inspection the inspector arrived on time and conducted a very thorough and professional assessment if the property. When he completed the inspection, he spent time sharing his initial findings and asking if we had any questions. The inspection report came out the following day via email and was very clear and concise. We shared the report with the owner and happily they agreed to remedy the few items we thought were most important. A very happy and successful ending to an overall great experience. I would highly recommend CFBI for your inspection needs.
