In addition to general residential and commercial property inspections, NPI offers a suite of services that can be tailored to your specific needs. Below, you will find a list of each additional service offered by your local NPI Manatee County team.

A yearly maintenance inspection from NPI can save you money by identifying maintenance issues in your home before they become big problems. Our inspectors look at your home’s most important systems and structures, identifying maintenance tasks that need to be performed to keep your home in top condition.

A 4-Point Insurance Inspection can help owners of older homes save money on their insurance premiums. 4-Point Inspections focus on your home’s roof, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems), electrical wiring and panels and plumbing connections and fixtures.

If you live in an area prone to storms, you could save money on your insurance premiums by getting your property wind certified. Our NPI inspectors examine areas of your property susceptible to failure in strong winds, such as roof shingles, shutters and structural elements, to ensure that proper wind mitigation techniques have been employed.

Your NPI inspector can check your basement, crawl spaces, attic, carpet, and more for potentially hazardous mold. If mold is suspected, samples can be collected and analyzed to confirm the extent of the contamination and determine necessary remediation.

Regular use of your home’s fireplace creates creosote, a black, oily substance on the interior surfaces of your chimney. Creosote buildup is highly combustible and causes chimney fires, which can melt mortar and create a pathway for fire to spread throughout your home. Your NPI inspector can check for creosote buildup, determine the condition of your chimney and recommend needed repairs.

Using an infrared camera specially designed to identify changes in temperature, your NPI inspector will scan and analyze your home’s walls, ceilings and more. Hot spots detected by thermal imaging can indicate potential hazards such as wiring issues, while cold spots can mean moisture or missing insulation. An infrared inspection sheds light on the small issues you can’t see before they become big problems. NPI Manatee County Inspector Greg Suhre is a Certified Residential Thermographer (CRT), a nationally recognized certification by the American Society of Home Inspectors and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. As a CRT, your inspector can provide a more thorough home inspection by detecting electrical, moisture, energy issues, and even pests, such as termites and bees, which the naked eye can’t see.

A Major Components Inspection can help owners of older homes save money on their insurance premiums. Major Components Inspections focus on your home’s roof, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems), electrical wiring and panels and plumbing connections and fixtures.

Unlike larger homes constructed with standard building techniques, mobile and manufactured homes have their own unique considerations that need to be addressed during an inspection. There may be limited access to crawl spaces and attics, and these homes may face a greater risk of damage from extreme weather. Our inspectors have years of experience with mobile home inspections and provide a comprehensive report.

Sewer and septic system problems can cause major issues for a home, and NPI can help diagnose them with the proven techniques and the latest technology. Your inspector can document issues like pipe obstructions, tree root intrusion and sewer line bellying that can be costly and even hazardous if left uncorrected.

Home Watch services from NPI give your vacant residence an additional layer of security. Whether you’re on vacation or own a second property, your inspector can conduct scheduled visits of your home, checking on essential components like electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. Home Watch services from National Property Inspections give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Your NPI inspector can provide many different types of field services, including occupancy status inspections, property assessment and condition reports, insurance risk assessment inspections, REO foreclosures and more. Any of these services can be tailored to your specific needs.
