Insurance Inspections: What You Need to Know

Protect Your Property and Ensure Accurate Coverage

Insurance inspections are a standard part of the underwriting process. They help insurance companies verify the condition, value, and risk factors of your property before issuing or renewing coverage.

What Is an Insurance Inspection?

An insurance inspection is a professional evaluation of your property, performed by an insurance company representative or a third-party inspector. It ensures your policy accurately reflects:

  • Property condition and maintenance
  • Safety features and risk mitigation (smoke detectors, security systems, fire extinguishers)
  • Valuation of buildings, equipment, and personal property
  • Compliance with local building codes and regulations

Why Inspections Are Important

  • Accurate Coverage – Ensures your policy limits match the replacement cost of your property.
  • Premium Accuracy – Helps prevent overpaying or underpaying for insurance.
  • Claims Readiness – Proper documentation can speed up claims processing in case of loss.
  • Risk Management – Identifies potential hazards before they cause damage.

What to Expect During an Inspection

  • The inspector may take photos and measure buildings.
  • They may review safety equipment, security systems, and maintenance records.
  • They might ask about previous claims or renovations.
  • For commercial properties, they may evaluate operational risks and business exposures.

Tips to Prepare

  • Keep the property clean and accessible.
  • Ensure all safety equipment is operational.
  • Have recent receipts or appraisals for high-value items ready.
  • Note any recent renovations or updates.
