Understanding Warranty Inpections
A Warranty Inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a newly constructed home, typically conducted within the 11th month of the builder’s one-year warranty. The purpose is to identify any defects in materials or workmanship that the builder is still obligated to repair. This is your last opportunity to hold the builder accountable for addressing these issues before the warranty expires, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in future repair costs.
Unlike a pre-purchase inspection, a warranty inspection focuses specifically on identifying items that fall under the builder’s warranty coverage. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Structural Issues: Foundation cracks, settling, framing problems.
- Roofing Defects: Leaks, improper installation, damaged materials.
- Plumbing Issues: Leaks, drainage problems, faulty fixtures.
- Electrical Problems: Wiring issues, malfunctioning outlets, faulty panels.
- HVAC System Deficiencies: Inefficient operation, leaks, improper installation.
- Cosmetic Defects: Significant cracks in drywall, uneven flooring, improper finishes (often subject to specific warranty terms).
- Building Envelope Issues: Problems with siding, windows, and doors that could lead to water intrusion.
Our experienced inspectors follow a detailed checklist and utilize their expertise to identify potential problems that may not be obvious to a homeowner. We provide a comprehensive report outlining any findings, complete with photographic evidence, to support your claim with the builder.
