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Another common issue is outdated electrical systems.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 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!

We used CFBI 3xs (2 house inspections with 4 points/wind mitigation in 2022 and recently an updated 4 point/wind mitigation) Every time John has been professional, courteous & friendly, excellent people skills. This company is thorough, very detailed in their inspection and highly knowledgable. We recommended this company every time our friends and family needs an inspection, an exceptional & trusted source.

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!
