Thorough, objective, and same-day reporting—built for Tampa Bay homes.
Tampa Bay homes present a unique set of challenges that a checklist-only inspection won’t catch. The region’s coastal humidity, hurricane exposure, and decades of varied construction standards mean the inspector you hire needs to know what to look for specifically — not just what the general standards require.
At Prospex, every full home inspection is led by Nick, a retired firefighter and InterNACHI certified inspector with deep construction knowledge. His background in fire service — where systematic assessment, precision under pressure, and clear documentation are non-negotiable — directly informs how every inspection is run.
System safety/operation, AC temperature split, panels/wiring, supply and drain lines.
Our top-to-bottom 305+ point assessment includes clear, prioritized findings with photos and practical next steps.
A thermal camera sees temperature differences invisible to the naked eye. We apply thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture intrusion behind walls and ceilings, insulation gaps in attics and exterior walls, and electrical hotspots at panels and connections that indicate potential failure points. In Florida’s humidity, hidden moisture is one of the most damaging and least obvious problems a home can have.
Safe, comprehensive roof assessment without putting an inspector on a potentially unsafe surface. Drone photography captures ridge line conditions, tile lifting, flashing failures, and drainage issues across the full roof plane — not just the sections reachable from a ladder.
Used for structural and dimensional analysis where precise measurements matter — particularly useful for identifying settlement, elevation changes, and structural irregularities.
Decades of Tampa Bay construction across different eras means different risks depending on when your home was built:
Pre-1980s homes: Aluminum branch circuit wiring, single-pane windows, older cast iron or galvanized drain lines, and roofing systems well past their useful life.
1980s–1990s homes: Polybutylene plumbing (recalled due to failure risk), Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical panels with documented safety histories
2000s-era homes: Chinese drywall concerns in some construction years, CSST flexible gas lines that require bonding to code.
All ages: Active moisture intrusion from inadequate flashing, poorly maintained HVAC drainage, and attic ventilation issues common in Florida’s climate.
We don’t just check whether systems exist—we look for the specific failure patterns common in the homes we inspect every week.
An inspection is a visual assessment of accessible components at the time of the inspection.
It does not include:
Understanding scope upfront prevents misaligned expectations. If you need specialty inspections, ask when you book and we’ll include them in the same appointment where possible.

Most full home inspections are ordered by buyers during the contract inspection period. Sellers use them before listing to identify issues proactively. Investors use them to assess properties before acquisition. Homeowners use them as a periodic maintenance baseline — especially before a warranty expires on a newer home.
Most homes take about 2–3 hours depending on size, age, and condition. Larger or older homes can take longer.
Yes, if possible. We encourage you to arrive towards the end of your inspection window to walk you through major findings on site. If you can’t attend, your same-day digital report includes clear photos and summaries.
No. A home inspection is an objective condition assessment. We document issues, safety items, and maintenance needs so you can make informed decisions.
Specialty items like pools/spas, outbuildings, docks & seawalls, generators, etc can be added to the inspection.
Same day. Your interactive digital report is uploaded to your client portal for both you and your agent.
