​What is a Pre-Drywall Inspection?

What is The Coverage of This Inspection?

Inspecting the plumbing system is important before fully building the house as this will help determine any issues that might come out after you move into the house.

​Heating, ventilation and air conditioning must be carefully inspected since HVAC units are responsible for regulating the temperature and air quality of your home.

​It is crucial to inspect the electrical system before the drywall is installed to make sure that there are no issues with the electricals because if the drywall is already up and there were issues found with the electrical, the drywall needs to be torn apart.

​Floor-to-floor tiles, floor joints, and its foundation must be inspected first before the carpet or any other flooring is installed to make sure that everything is correctly positioned.

​Walls need to be completely sealed from the outside, insulation needs to be correctly installed and HVAC systems must be accurately inspected.

​The inspector must also check the roof for any uncovered nails, waterproofing and any problems with the frames or bracing to avoid any future leaks or structural damage

​The inspector needs to check if the house is elevated properly and check for anything that could ruin the structural integrity of the house.

 Three Types of Inspections for New-Construction Homes

​Pre-drywall inspection is performed to make sure that the house is built according to its specifications. This is being done just prior to the installation of the drywall/stucco. This inspection is beneficial during this phase because the drywall can hide some factors which can be hard to identify when the house is already fully-built.

​This inspection is performed prior to closing and gives the buyers the opportunity to make sure the home is ready for them. Major components of the home will be inspected like the appliances, lights, plumbing fixtures, and etc. so all the utilities need to be turned on. The Final Walk-Through is the buyer's last chance to check if all repairs have been made.

​One Year Warranty is being offered by builders to cover any needed repairs usually a year after you moved into the house. This is just the same as a regular home inspection which means that the house will also be inspected from top to bottom. Home inspectors will make sure that all issues will be identified prior to the expiration of your warranty.

If you are thinking about buying a house, whether it’s new construction or a unit that was built 15 or more years ago, or if you are experiencing flooding or clogging in your home, maybe it’s time for you to have your sewer line scoped. You may not know it but sewer scope inspections are as important as any other inspections.

When Should You Have Your Sewer Scoped?

4 Reasons Why You Need Sewer Scoping

During the building process, construction materials might be deposited in the home's plumbing system.

Without invasive digging in and around the system determining the state of your sewer pipes and connections can be difficult. These inspections can assist in determining when your pipes need to be replaced, as well as when and where a clog may form in the system so you no longer have to spend your time thinking about water backups.

If a blockage isn't occurring at the drain, it's most likely deeper down. Most of the time, the blockage is caused by a buildup of hair and other debris in your pipes, but in some cases, a tree root may be to blame.

Repairing broken pipes, re-plumbing an entire house, and/or cleaning up after interior floods all add up will cause you a bunch of dollars. Not to mention that an underground leak could be costing you thousands of dollars per month on your water bill.
