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Another common issue is outdated electrical systems.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.

I would strongly advise against using this company for home inspections. They missed numerous safety hazards during the inspection of my property. When I tried to reach out for assistance, I was contacted by someone from their fraud department, but no real help or solutions were offered. Despite bringing up the serious concerns regarding the missed issues, no follow-up was made. It’s hard to understand how this company is still in business given the lack of professionalism and attention to detail. I urge anyone who has used this service to carefully re-inspect their property, as I’ve found many concerning issues that were overlooked. This experience has been extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend them to anyone.

John was thorough and walked through what he found with us at the end of the inspection so we fully understood the repairs needed. The CFBI report tools were helpful to gather quotes and organize the repairs to prioritize prior to closing. Although pricier than the average inspection, we felt like this was an investment to know what were were getting ourselves into and hold our sellers accountable before closing!

CFBI is well setup from start to finish. Getting a quote, setting up an appointment, and communication. Max's inspection was thorough and the report was comprehensive. They're not the cheapest option, but I got what I paid for. I definitely recommend them.

Excellent service. Matt did a thorough and expeditious inspection and was able to get us the full report later that same evening. Inspection was instrumental in identifying key issues that were not reasonably known at the time rhe initial offer was made.

CFBI came out to do a residential inspection on the home we were purchasing. I cannot say how impressed I was with their service. Our inspector, Matt, had such attention to detail, and noted everything for us, even minor things, so we knew absolutely everything that would help us to make the house the best it could be. On top of that, he took quite a while explaining everything to us, showing us areas in-person that he wrote about in the report, and even making suggestions from his opinion on how to go about fixing things, who could fix them, etc. He even called then next day when our mold tests came back to explain the report over the phone. I would certainly only use this company going forward.

Hector was thorough and found many things with our new construction that needed correction. He even marked everything with blue tape and took pictures with a description of what needed done. He took lots of notes and meticulously noted every item that could/should be improved and ranked importance. Also, he emailed it the next day. It was clear and easy to share with our builder.Highly recommend this class act building inspection company.
