Ancillary Inspections

Ancillary inspections are additional inspections performed during a residential or commercial building inspection to identify potential issues beyond the standard building inspection. These inspections are typically conducted by specialists who have expertise in a particular area, such as plumbing, electrical systems, or environmental hazards.

Some common ancillary inspections that may be recommended during a building inspection include:

1. Pre-Drywall

2. End of Warranty Inspection (11th Month)

3. Bacterial Growth (Mold/Mold-Like Substances)

4. Radon

5. Wood Destroying Organisms (Pests)

6. HUD Inspection

7. Indoor Air Quality (Carbon Monoxide/Gas/etc.)

8. Deck

9. Water Testing

10. Lead

11. Pool & Spa

12. Wind Mitigation (Required for Florida)

13. 4-Point Inspection (Required for Florida)

14. Other Structures (Shed/Barn/etc.)

Overall, ancillary inspections are an important part of a comprehensive building inspection, as they can identify issues that may not be readily apparent during a standard inspection. By identifying these issues early, homeowners and building owners can take steps to address them before they become more serious and costly to repair.
