4-Point Insurance Liability Inspections
A Commercial Property Insurance Liability or 4-Point Inspection is designed to identify significant and minor risks that could adversely affect your commercial property insurance. Insurance providers are growing more cautious when underwriting policies for commercial properties that are 25 years old or older. Unaddressed concerns may lead to higher insurance costs or the risk of policy cancellation. Addressing these identified risks has the potential to reduce insurance premiums, providing long-term cost savings for your commercial property.
Maintenance Inspections
A routine commercial property maintenance inspection indicates potential issues before they escalate into significant financial or safety concerns. A skilled inspector possesses the expertise to identify problems that might remain unnoticed for an extended period. This inspection encompasses critical areas such as the roof and attic, basement and foundation, grading and drainage, electrical systems, water heating systems, and other relevant components to ensure comprehensive coverage.
11th Month Warranty Inspections
Upon acquiring your newly constructed commercial property, you likely engaged in a supplementary agreement with the builder, who extended a 1-year warranty covering all systems and components of the property. A warranty inspection for commercial properties involves a thorough assessment of the interior and exterior, including major systems and components. This inspection is typically conducted in the 11th month of occupancy, just before the expiration of the builder’s warranty.
Radon Inspections
Radon, a cancer-causing, radioactive gas, isn’t exclusive to homes—it’s a concern for commercial properties too. It can build up to hazardous levels in both residential and commercial spaces, posing a potential risk of lung cancer for anyone who spends time in these environments. Shockingly, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, surpassing the fatalities caused by drunk driving each year.
To ascertain if your commercial property has elevated radon levels, it’s crucial to enlist the expertise of a professional for testing. The testing approach for commercial spaces differs significantly from residential testing, making it imperative to engage a licensed professional with experience in commercial testing. This ensures that the testing process is conducted accurately and effectively.
Mold Inspections
For commercial building owners, dealing with mold is a major concern. Mold is a fungus; like all fungi, it thrives in moist places. Mold spreads by emitting spores, microscopic particles often as small as a single cell. When it comes to testing your commercial building for mold, check with your tenants and keep a close eye on the building to know if it gets any water damage.
From a leaking roof to a busted pipe, any complication that allows water to enter your commercial building can cause mold to grow in as little as 24 hours. Mold can form within the walls or in places completely out of sight. The potential harm to your property and your tenants’ well-being can create challenging situations.
Air Quality Testing
Indoor air investigations can be challenging. There are many aspects to indoor air quality, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), inorganic compounds, particulates, allergens, comfort factors, etc. One of the most difficult areas is the VOCs, which are organic chemicals (primarily carbon and hydrogen) that vaporize easily at room temperature. There are thousands of different VOCs in indoor air from hundreds of sources, making both source identification and remediation plans challenging. Understanding the sources and how the VOCs will react to changing conditions is crucial to improving air quality.
Water Quality Test
Water quality testing is a specialized test that checks a property’s water supply for contaminants and pollutants, such as chlorine, lead, and coliform bacteria. Testing can reveal chemical imbalances of the pH, and other attributes, such as hardness of the water. No natural water source is completely free of impurities; contaminants and pathogens must be monitored and mitigated. Testing ensures the property’s water is consumable and safe for everyday use.
Wind Mitigation Inspections
Wind mitigation is the implementation of certain building techniques to limit the damage caused by intense wind. Some examples of these features are door/window coverings, how the roof is attached to your property, or how your roof is sealed to prevent water from entering. Wind mitigation helps protect the property from damage. Even if the property is insured, it is always costly when a building is damaged, both for the owner and the insurer. Repairs can take months, especially during material shortages that follow massive destruction to entire communities. These expenses can be avoided altogether if proper wind mitigation techniques are used.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging, also called infrared home inspection, or thermography, uses a special infrared camera to detect differences in temperature across a surface. This technology provides us with a unique way to reveal aspects of a building that traditional inspection methods can’t capture. Through thermal imaging, we can generate images of the otherwise invisible heat energy emitted by objects and systems within the building, enabling precise measurements. This approach goes beyond merely identifying symptoms, allowing us to diagnose and address problems effectively.
Energy Audits
A commercial energy audit thoroughly examines a building’s energy consumption patterns to pinpoint when, where, and how energy is utilized. This analysis yields valuable information on current energy costs and offers guidance on adopting sustainable practices to decrease energy usage, boost savings, and foster environmental responsibility. By implementing the recommendations from commercial energy audits, businesses can cut down on waste, trim operating expenses, shrink their carbon footprint, and even qualify for energy rewards programs, enabling them to secure improved financing options.
