Insurance-Blocking Issues to Watch For
These common findings can prevent you from getting homeowners insurance in Florida
Polybutylene Pipes
Homes built between 1978-1995 may have polybutylene plumbing. Florida insurers universally refuse to cover properties with these pipes, requiring a full repipe ($4,500-$13,500).
Federal Pacific & Zinsco Panels
These electrical panels are known fire hazards. Insurance companies require replacement before issuing coverage, typically costing $2,000-$4,000 for a panel upgrade.
Roof Age Over 15 Years
Most Florida insurers drop coverage when shingle roofs exceed 15 years or tile roofs exceed 20-25 years, regardless of condition. A replacement costs $8,000-$25,000.

What is a 4-point inspection in Florida?+
A 4-point inspection examines four critical systems: roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Florida insurance companies require this inspection for homes over 20-30 years old (varies by carrier) before issuing or renewing a policy. Failures in any area can block insurance coverage.
What inspection findings block homeowners insurance in Florida?+
The most common insurance-blocking issues in South Florida are: roof age exceeding carrier limits (typically 15 years for shingles), polybutylene plumbing, Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical panels, outdated wiring (knob-and-tube or aluminum), and HVAC systems using R-22 refrigerant. HoodNest flags these automatically in your report.
