Builder's Warranty and New Construction Home Inspections
When buying a new construction home, everything is new, right? It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that there couldn’t possibly be any defects in a brand new home, especially when the builder is offering a warranty with it. AZ Pro New Home Inspections regularly reveal defects in materials or workmanship that may lead to bigger issues after you’ve moved in.
It’s comforting to know, as a homeowner, that your purchase is often covered by a warranty with the builder. But not all defects are readily apparent or causing issues right away. And that’s why AZ Pro Inspector Service regularly performs 11th Month Builder’s Warranty and New Construction Home Inspections. It’s best to identify and correct defects before they become expensive major issues down the road, especially when those defects may be covered under warranty.
Our full inspection and report on the home will help identify defects in need of correction right away, as well as defects in the home’s systems or components that may present problems in the future. It will help when you’re communicating with your builder about workmanship issues or needed repairs.
Examples of Findings in 11th Month Warranty and New Construction Home Inspections
- Missing or incomplete siding materials, including stucco – can allow moisture into the structure of the home and provide access for rodents, bees, or other pests
- Damaged kitchen or bathroom exhaust venting – allows grease or moisture into the attic which can lead to mold
- Dryer exhaust venting sealed shut, preventing dryer lint from properly evacuating – causes a potential fire hazard and prevents efficient operation of laundry equipment
- Faulty installation of water treatment systems
- Loose electrical fixtures – can be a potential fire hazard
- Improperly sized breaker switches in electrical panels – can cause a fire hazard or damage to installed equipment
- Damaged or inoperable doors or windows
- Improperly installed garage door and/or opener – can be an injury hazard or potentially damage a vehicle
- Plumbing leaks
- Damaged trusses or roof sheathing
- Construction debris in roof valleys – Retains moisture, prevents water from shedding from the roof and potentially shortening the lifespan of roofing materials
Why Hire Us?
Home builders often have their own inspectors run through the home before completion to identify issues that need attention. They’ll flag cracks in drywall, missing paint or fixtures, damage to surfaces, etc. Many of the issues identified will be cosmetic in nature, but still important fixes to make sure their buyers are happy.
