11th Month Inspections

11th Month Warranty Inspections

When you purchased your newly constructed home, chances are you entered into a secondary agreement with the builder, who offered you a 1-year warranty on all systems and components of the home. A warranty inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the interior and exterior of your new home and its major systems and components. It’s conducted during the 11th month of your occupancy – before your builder’s warranty expires.

If any issues are located, you are then given the information necessary to compare against your warranty to see if you could have the builder repair the faulty system or defect. You’ll save money by having defective and hazardous items repaired as part of the warranty. These issues might be minor now but could cause more severe problems later. A warranty inspection is critical to finding defects in the home that might have happened during the homeownership process or were not seen before.

Common Defect Findings Include:

• Improper roof vent installation
• Missing insulation
• Water intrusion or damage
• Loose toilets
• Cabinet damage
• Appliance damage
• Leaking plumbing
• Missing grout
• Cracked or damaged shingles
• Cracks in the stucco
• The list continues…

The report covers the condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system; interior plumbing system; electrical system; roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; the foundation, basement, and all structural components. The inspection report is sent to you online shortly after the inspection is completed.
