Home Inspection in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
InspectionNow provides comprehensive home inspections in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — one of the most dynamic cities in Broward County. From the historic bungalows and mid-century ranch homes east of US-1 to the newer waterfront developments along the Intracoastal, Fort Lauderdale’s housing stock is as diverse as its neighborhoods. Whether you are purchasing a single-family home in Victoria Park, a townhome in Flagler Village, or a high-rise condo along the beach, our licensed inspectors deliver a thorough evaluation of the property before you commit. InspectionNow proudly serves Fort Lauderdale and the entire Tri-County area, including Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Fort Lauderdale’s tropical climate and proximity to the coast mean that homes here face unique challenges — from salt air corrosion and hurricane exposure to moisture intrusion and aging infrastructure. A professional home inspection helps you understand exactly what you are buying, identify safety concerns, and plan for future maintenance. Our inspectors have years of experience evaluating Fort Lauderdale properties and know what to look for in this market.
Our Services in Fort Lauderdale
Pre-Purchase Home Inspections: A detailed evaluation of the home’s structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more — designed to give you a clear picture of the property’s condition before closing. Learn more about our pre-purchase inspections.
Wind Mitigation Inspections: Required by most Florida insurance carriers, a wind mitigation inspection documents your home’s hurricane-resistant features and can result in significant premium discounts.

Mold and Moisture Testing: Fort Lauderdale’s humidity and frequent rain make mold a common concern. Our mold air sampling and moisture inspections identify hidden problems before they become expensive repairs.

Common Issues We Find in Fort Lauderdale Homes
Fort Lauderdale’s housing stock includes a large number of homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, and certain issues come up frequently during inspections in this area. Aging roof systems are one of the most common findings — many homes still have original shingle or flat roofs approaching or past their expected lifespan. Outdated electrical panels, particularly Federal Pacific and Zinsco brands, are another recurring concern in older Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods. These panels have known safety issues and are typically flagged by insurance carriers.
Polybutylene plumbing is present in many Fort Lauderdale homes built during the 1970s through the early 1990s. This type of piping is prone to failure and most insurance companies will not write a policy on a home with active polybutylene supply lines. Moisture intrusion around windows, sliding glass doors, and pool deck areas is also common given the city’s heavy rainfall and high humidity. We frequently find HVAC systems nearing or past the end of their expected service life, especially in homes where the original equipment has never been replaced.
