A 1 year warranty inspection (also known as a 10 month warranty) happens 10-11 months after closing. This inspection takes place right before your builders warranty is expired.

The purpose of a 1 year builder warranty inspection is to document the concerns and deficiencies that are present BEFORE your builder warranty expires. This inspection is crucial for your future protection against defective workmanship or materials.

Scheduling a 1 year warranty can save you thousands in the long run- plumbing, electrical, and roofing issues can be a lot to tackle on your own. Especially when the home is less than a year old. By getting a 1 year warranty inspection, the responsibility of repairing those issues is on the builders.

Getting a 1 year warranty inspection can be stressful! Here are a couple additional services we recommend during the 1 year warranty inspection:
- Mold Air Quality Inspection 
- Sewer Scoping 
- Wind Mitigation
The services listed above can provide you with extremely thorough information for you and your builder representative.

Welcome back! After last weeks pre-drywall inspection blog, we're going to move on to Final-Walk Through inspections. 

    A Final-Walk Through inspection is the final inspection before you move into your home. Unlike our standard home inspection, final-walk throughs are not only functionality based, but also cosmetic. 
    When your home is brand new, it should be in brand new condition! Unfortunately, that is not the case, most of the time.

• Some of the most common issues found during Final-Walk Throughs consist of:

1.  HVAC issues
2. electrical issues (outlets and light switches not wired properly) and
3. plumbing leaks!

• After you get your report, you'll walk-through with your builder (builders walk-through) and during that you can send your report to your builder representative and it is their responsibility to repair those deficiencies. 

A Final-Walk Through inspection is the last opportunity to get an inspection before closing on the home! Give us a call to get your Final-Walk Through inspection! 

Pre-Drywall inspections have multiple benefits for homebuyers. First, let's discuss what​ a pre-drywall actually is! 
​

Now that we're all on the same page, the beginning stage of new construction is so important due to it being the roots of the home. If there are issues in the home's foundation/rough-ins they are going to affect the home later on. 
​

With pre-drywall inspections a lot of issues we see consists of plumbing and electrical rough in deficiencies, along with gaps in the roof, and organic growth on trusses. Once the drywall is up, you no longer have access to repairing these items. In this situation, out of sight does NOT equal out of mind!! 

Final walkthroughs can be just as stressful as they are exciting, so we're here to help you make the situation go smoother for you and your family. There's a few additional inspections that will make you more confident in your newly built home.
​
    1. Sewer Scoping during the new construction phase is always a smart idea. We have seen major blockage in the past from rocks, dirt, and construction debri. This could cause many issues within your home if not addressed as soon as possible. 

   2. With homes being left open during the construction phase, it is easy for organic growth to grow on trusses, beams, ect. Getting a Mold Air Quality during the final walkthrough eliminates any worries about mold being present before moving in.
​
   3.Wind mitigations are now being requested by insurance companies during the closing of new construction. Insurance companies used to give the credits if it were 5 years or newer due to the home meeting code. That is no longer the case, so we strongly recommend getting one at the time of inspection.
