Moisture Meters, Infrared Cameras, Sewer Scopes and more to provide comprehensive but easy to read reports from Our Trained, Certified, Licensed, Insured Inspectors
Types of Inspections We Perform:
Pre-Sale Inspection
Conducting the inspection early in the sales process allows sellers to expedite the transaction by resolving any issues ahead of time, avoiding disruptions that could delay the sale.
Buyer Inspections
Performing an observation-based assessment of a residence's framework and elements helps uncover hazards or malfunctions. Regular assessments contribute to long-term peace of mind for residents.
4-Point Inspections
Four Point Inspections concentrate solely on four critical aspects of a property: heating and cooling systems, electrical components and panels, plumbing systems and fixtures, and the roof.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
In a wind mitigation inspection, we assess important elements and upgrades that can lessen potential harm to your home during a hurricane or severe
wind event.

At Robbins Services we understand the temptation of hiring a discounted service in the middle of a major purchase, but it could be more costly in the long run. The companies that provide these services generally operate quantity over quality in order to survive and may miss costly defects you could have had the seller repair.
Protect yourself; hire a qualified inspection company that is properly trained and insured. We have your best interests in mind and will take the time required to conduct your inspection properly and provide you with a professional detail report.

Testimonials
Chris is the most professional home inspector I have ever worked with and I have worked with many. A specific example is a referral I sent to him at 430 pm. The client needed an inspection asap and Chris was able to meet him that night for the inspection. Although this isn't the typical timeframe, Chris does his best to meet the needs of his clients. The client was over the moon with the response and was very vocal about his professionalism and ability to provide a great inspection.
Sharon L
I used Robbins Services when I needed an inspection for insurance. Chris was very professional, prompt and efficient. I highly recommend his services for any home inspection needs. Especially if you are buying a house. He is very detail oriented and knowledgably. If there is a problem, he will find it!
Sherry Carannante
I was referred to Chris Robbins by an inspection company in Pinellas. Chris has done 2 inspections for me this month and I couldn’t be happier to be working with him. He and his support staff are professional and on top of the ball with quick response times. Chris’ reports are very easy to access and understand. My clients loved how easy it was to communicate with this company from setting the appointment to getting personalized feedback on the property they’re purchasing. I would 100% recommend Robbins Services!
Terrence Lee
House inspection completed 06/12/2020. Chris was thorough and explained the good and bad areas of the house. The report supplied is extensive. The report language was simple to understand and follow (as a first time buyer, super helpful) and the hyperlinks to the city codes gave necessary ammunition, to provide to the seller, so they can update those items deemed safety before purchase. Even if we don't purchase the house, the seller is now aware of the repairs a new applicant loan provider will ask for, prior to sale.

PREDICTING THE FUTURE OF INSURANCE INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
Insurance companies generally require a 4-Point Inspection before granting insurance coverage to manage liability and risks. They like to avoid and be aware of the risk, and inspections are an accurate way of doing this. A 4-Point Inspection can help them avoid potential losses for liabilities that aren’t listed on the initial application. To further reduce their risks, they are dropping policies at an alarming rate and increasing premiums. In addition, they are rapidly becoming more stringent with inspection requirements, likely related to an overabundance of claims for main home systems such as roofs, plumbing, electrical, etc.

SELLERS INSPECTIONS
Prepare your property for a successful sale with a Pre-Listing Inspection. This strategic move allows you to identify and resolve any unforeseen issues, offering a transparent view to potential buyers. By proactively addressing concerns upfront, you'll create a smoother negotiation process and build buyer confidence through full disclosure of your property's condition.
EXPIRING HOME WARRATY INSPECTIONS
As you approach the end of your '1-Year Builders Warranty,' don't overlook the chance for a comprehensive property inspection. Our thorough examination covers both anticipated and unexpected issues that might have emerged. Our detailed report highlighting necessary repairs becomes an essential document to provide the builder with before your warranty period ends. This proactive step ensures all concerns are addressed before the expiration, safeguarding your property and investment.
NEW CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS
We haven't reached a stage where machines construct houses entirely, and quality concerns at construction sites can always jeopardize your investment. Engaging a skilled third-party inspector for a comprehensive examination guarantees that any necessary final quality repairs can be carried out, providing you with the assurance that your investment is secure.
RE-INSPECTION SERVICES
Following an inspection, it's common practice to ask the seller or builder to resolve identified repairs. This isn't just about fixing issues; it's about upholding standards and ensuring that any shortcuts are addressed. This step plays a crucial role in guaranteeing that the property meets the expected quality and your standards.
POOL & SPA INSPECTIONS
When purchasing a home with an inground pool or spa, these features often stand out as key attractions. Our supplementary inspection focuses on a detailed assessment of the pool/spa structure, including the pump, plumbing, electrical components, deck, lanai, and fencing. We identify potential defects, damages, or safety hazards that might require significant repairs or pose risks of injury. This comprehensive process ensures you're fully informed about the condition of these amenities, protecting both your investment and the safety of those who will use them.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM INSPECTIONS
Our inspection of the irrigation system involves a detailed non-invasive visual assessment, backed by comprehensive photographic documentation and descriptive comments. Our objective is to confirm the fundamental functionality of the system by manually operating each zone through the timer. We evaluate the well or pump systems and their respective components to ensure efficient water supply to the irrigation system.This examination encompasses a careful review of the system's water source, assessment of the system timer's condition and placement, and scrutiny of visible condition of system pumps (if applicable). Additionally, we account for the number of zones, identify any missing or damaged sprinkler heads, and assess the visible condition of system components for any signs of damage.
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY INSPECTIONS
Infrared thermography inspection is a non-invasive method that utilizes a thermal imaging camera to analyze temperature differences in building materials and mechanical systems. This technique, when executed under suitable conditions, is highly effective in identifying various issues, including moisture accumulation, pest infestation, electrical anomalies, and opportunities for energy efficiency improvements, among other concerns.
4-POINT INSPECTIONS
A 4-point inspection is an insurance-focused assessment commonly required for homes. It aims to evaluate the insurability of the property by focusing on four crucial systems: the roof, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical infrastructure. We furnish our report on the well-recognized Citizens form, widely accepted by insurance providers. Employing this template provides flexibility when shopping for insurance options in the market.This service is offered as both a core inspection and add-on service. If you're unsure about the necessity of this report for your purchase, we recommend seeking guidance from your real estate agent or insurance provider.
WIND MITIGATION
A wind mitigation inspection, designed for insurance needs, identifies the wind-resistant features in your home, potentially qualifying you for insurance discounts. Our detailed report, using the state-approved form, is widely accepted by insurance providers, granting you flexibility in choosing policies. If you're uncertain about its necessity for your purchase, consulting your real estate agent or insurance provider can provide clarity.
ROOF CERTIFICATIONS
A roof certification, primarily used to assess a home's insurability, offers an expert evaluation of your roof's remaining lifespan. It factors in installation date, material type, and current condition. Identified issues typically need addressing before insurance companies approve a policy. It's important to note that this certification isn't a warranty but represents the professional opinion of a licensed expert. Commonly included in a standard 4 Point inspection, it's a vital step in gauging your roof's condition.
VISUAL MOLD & AIR QUALITY TESTING
Ensuring clean indoor air is essential for a healthy home. While a standard home inspection can identify visible organic growth, non-visible areas like wall cavities can cultivate mold growth. Visual mold can be identified through direct sampling, but air sampling is the most effective non-destructive method to identify hidden mold growth. Samples are carefully collected and securely sent to our preferred partner, Inspector Lab, for analysis. The results are clear: concerning or not. Our commitment to accurate, thorough testing sets us apart from those who offer low initial prices but may compromise on quality. Your health and indoor air quality matter to us.
SEAWALLS
Seawall repairs often come with a hefty price tag. Our seawall inspection provides a comprehensive visual examination, complete with detailed photos and written comments. This encompasses concerns such as soil loss, tilting or leaning panels, concrete degradation or spalling, and visual issues with the seawall toe or riprap.
DOCKS, DAVITS & LIFTS
This inspection focuses on the dock and lifts, emphasizing their condition, safety, and functionality to preserve your investment's value. Our inspectors thoroughly examine various components, including pilings, piling caps, fenders, tie-down cleats, support collars, stringers, joists, connections, steps, ramps, handrails, ladders, water and electric services, control boxes, boathouses, canopies, motor covers, belts, chains, pulleys, and structural frame components, ensuring they meet the highest standards.
MAIN SEWER LINE SCOPES
Our Main Sewer Line Scope Inspection uses a specialized camera to inspect the main sewer line for blockages or damage. Since repairs or replacements of lateral pipes can be costly, this inspection is highly recommended for older homes. It’s also crucial for new construction homes, where debris from building materials can clog waste lines. The inspection focuses on the main drain line between the home and the city sewer or septic tank, when accessible. Please note, it does not include the inspection of all drain lines within the home.
TERMITE / WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISM (WDO) INSPECTIONS (3rd Party)
Guard your home against silent threats! A Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection goes beyond the surface, detecting termites, wood-destroying beetles, and fungi. Conducted by a licensed third-party expert, this inspection utilizes the standardized state form to ensure accuracy and detail when outlining any infestation or damage. Don't let them sneak in—protect your investment with this exclusive inspection.
LEAD PAINT INSPECTIONS (3RD PARTY)
For homes built in 1978 or earlier, the possibility of lead paint exists, and ensuring your family's safety is our priority. We collaborate with trusted professionals using cutting-edge XRF technology to conduct a comprehensive inspection of over 100 areas of the home. This method covers walls, ceilings, and trims both indoors and outdoors with pinpoint accuracy. The result is a computer-generated, detailed report that removes any uncertainty about the presence of lead-based paint.
In contrast, many contractors rely on $5 lead test kits from local stores, testing only a few spots in the home. These kits have faced criticism for accuracy and reliability from sources like WebMD and the Federal Government. Choosing accuracy and safety is crucial to safeguard your family's well-being.
WELL WATER QUALITY & TREATMENT EQUIPMENT EVALUATIONS (3RD-PARTY)
This service provides a comprehensive assessment that examines various key factors, such as water hardness, pH levels, sulfur, iron, and bacterial presence, both before and after water treatment equipment. This dual-testing approach helps determine the effectiveness of the equipment.
