New Construction
Many people believe that because they are buying a new home, there will be nothing mechanically or structurally wrong with it. They feel that the county inspections along with the builder’s walk through are sufficient and there is no need for a third-party inspection. Unfortunately, that isn’t always true.
Only by hiring an independent inspector can you ensure that you have someone on your side, looking for any potential issues. Catching problems early on can save thousands of dollars in repairs later and the builder may be required to fix any code violation. Even if these issues don’t turn into costly repairs during your time in the home, they will be discovered when you try to sell the home, adding more to your plate during the listing process.
During These Inspections, We Typically Find the Following Problems
Damaged Roof Shingles
Nail Holes in the Roof Shingles
Missing Flashings
Deck Issues
Electrical Problems
HVAC Problems
Plumbing Issues
Construction Mistakes
PRE-DRYWALL INSPECTIONS
Pre-drywall inspections are conducted right before the drywall is installed in the home. To help ensure proper installation and code compliance, this evaluation includes all visible framing and components in the home along with the visible components of the following areas:
- Electrical systems
- Plumbing components
- HVAC rough-ins
1-YEAR WARRANTY INSPECTION
A newly constructed home typically includes a 1-year warranty in which the builder will correct any problems encountered in the first year of ownership of the new home. It is easy to lose track of time and forget to compile a list of items that the builder needs to fix before the warranty expires or to be unsure of what to look for when the time comes. RIA recommends to have an inspection conducted shortly before the 1-year warranty expires. The best time to schedule this inspection is at the 11-month mark so there is plenty of time to notify the builder of any items that need to be repaired or replaced. It will include the following:
Detailed Analysis of the Home
Summary of Items to Repair or Replace
Digital Photos of Areas of Concern
Construction Errors Not Corrected Prior to Closing
