Don't Let Your Builder's Warranty Expire
Most builders provide a one-year warranty on a new home, covering defects in workmanship and materials. As you approach the end of your first year of homeownership, this is your final opportunity to have the builder correct any issues at their expense. Our 1-Year Warranty Inspection provides you with the professional documentation you need to hold your builder accountable.
What is a 1-Year Warranty Inspection?
Ideally performed in the 11th month of your homeownership, a Warranty Inspection is a full, top-to-bottom pre-purchase style inspection. Over the first year, your home settles and its systems run continuously, often revealing issues that were not apparent when you first moved in. We perform a comprehensive evaluation to identify these emerging problems before your warranty expires and the cost of repair shifts to you.
Common Issues We Find During Warranty Inspections:
- Drywall & Finish Issues: Nail pops, settlement cracks in drywall, and paint or caulking flaws that have appeared over time.
- Improper Drainage: Negative grading around the foundation or improper gutter installation that can lead to water intrusion.
- HVAC System Deficiencies: Issues with heating or cooling performance, air leaks in ductwork, or improper condensate drainage.
- Window & Door Problems: Failed seals on double-pane windows, doors that no longer latch correctly due to settlement, or missing weatherstripping.
- Minor Plumbing Leaks: Small drips under sinks or around fixtures that may have gone unnoticed.
- Attic & Crawlspace Issues: Insulation that has settled or been disturbed, or signs of moisture intrusion.
Protect your investment and avoid future out-of-pocket expenses. Scheduling a Warranty Inspection is a small investment that can save you thousands in the long run.
