Post Hurricane Inspection

Post Hurricane Inspection in Central Florida

Protect Your Home After the Storm

Living in Florida means enjoying sunshine, lakes, and warm weather year-round. But it also means facing the reality of hurricane season. High winds, heavy rain, and flying debris can cause damage that isn’t always visible right away. After a major storm, your home may look fine from the outside, but hidden issues could put your safety and your investment at risk.


At Full Circle Home Inspectors, we specialize in post hurricane inspections for homeowners throughout Central Florida. Our team provides thorough evaluations of your property to identify storm-related damage and give you the documentation you need for insurance claims and repairs.



Whether you live in Lake County, Marion County, Sumter County, or nearby areas, we’re here to provide peace of mind when you need it most.


Why Post Hurricane Inspections Are Important

Hurricanes can cause both obvious and hidden damage to a home. While fallen trees, broken windows, or missing shingles are easy to spot, there are often more subtle issues that only a professional inspector can detect.


Common hidden problems include:

  • Roof leaks that may not appear until weeks later

  • Water intrusion in walls, ceilings, or floors

  • Foundation cracks from shifting soil or flooding

  • Electrical issues caused by water exposure

  • Mold growth in damp, poorly ventilated areas

Addressing these issues quickly is critical. Insurance companies often have strict timelines for filing claims, and delaying an inspection could reduce your ability to receive full coverage.


What We Check During a Post Hurricane Inspection

Our certified inspectors perform a comprehensive assessment of your home to make sure no detail is overlooked. We use advanced tools like infrared thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye.

Our inspection includes:

1. Roof and Attic

  • Missing shingles, broken tiles, or lifted flashing

  • Signs of leaks or water intrusion in the attic

  • Damage to roof decking or trusses

2. Exterior and Structure

  • Cracks in foundation or walls

  • Damaged siding, stucco, or brickwork

  • Windows and doors for broken seals or impact damage

  • Mold growth in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements

4. Electrical and Mechanical Systems

6. Property Grounds

  • Detached or damaged structures (sheds, fences, decks)

  • Pool and spa equipment safety

  • Drainage or grading changes caused by flooding

FAQs About Post Hurricane Inspections

  • Do I really need a post hurricane inspection if I don’t see damage?

    Yes. Many forms of storm damage—such as roof leaks, hidden water intrusion, or structural shifts—aren’t visible right away. An inspection ensures small issues don’t turn into major problems later.

  • How soon after a hurricane should I schedule an inspection?

    As soon as it is safe. Insurance companies often require timely documentation for claims, so it’s best to have your home inspected within days after the storm.

  • Will a post hurricane inspection help with my insurance claim?

    Absolutely. Our detailed reports provide photos, notes, and findings that can strengthen your claim and help you receive fair compensation for storm damage.

  • What if my home already looks fine after the storm?

    Even if your home looks undamaged, hidden problems like water seepage or electrical issues may exist. An inspection helps confirm your home is truly safe and sound.

  • Do you inspect mobile or manufactured homes after hurricanes?

    Yes. We provide inspections for mobile and manufactured homes, including HUD engineering inspections if needed. Storms can especially affect foundations and additions, which require careful evaluation.
