Our comprehensive New Home Inspection services are designed to provide you with peace of mind throughout the construction process.

Our New Home Inspection Phases

We offer detailed inspections at critical stages of your home’s construction to identify and address potential issues early:

1. Pre-Concrete Pour (Foundation Construction Inspection)

Before the foundation is laid, we assess:

  • Foundation Form Integrity: Ensuring form boards and braces are properly supported and secured.
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Verifying the foundation form boards are square, with corners close to 90 degrees.
  • Beam and Pad Depth: Confirming they meet specified requirements.
  • Post-Tension Components: Inspecting the correct placement and protection of post-tension cables and anchor plates.
  • Vapor Barrier Installation: Ensuring uniform and undamaged vapor barriers over beams and pads.
  • Sewer Pipe Protection: Checking for proper mastic application and absence of damage where pipes cross foundation beams.

Identifying issues at this stage can prevent foundational problems in the future.

2. Pre-Sheetrock (Framing Inspection)

Once framing is complete but before drywall installation, we evaluate:

  • Exterior Assessments:
    • Vapor Barrier: Proper installation, sealing, and flashing.
    • Window and Door Installation: Ensuring correct sealing, flashing, and functionality.
    • Roof Components: Verification of all necessary elements and proper flashing installation.
  • Interior Assessments:
    • Framing Integrity: Inspecting wall studs, plates, headers, braces, and more for correct installation and any damage.
    • Utility Installations: Checking water supply lines, sewer pipes, and electrical wiring for proper installation and protection.
    • Fire Safety Measures: Confirming appropriate fire blocking and stopping are in place.

This phase ensures the structural and functional aspects of your home are sound before interior finishes are applied.

3. Final Inspection

Upon construction completion, we conduct a thorough examination to ensure:

  • Safety and Functionality: All systems operate correctly and safely.
  • Building Code Compliance: The home meets all local and national building standards.
  • Workmanship Quality: Finishes and installations reflect high-quality craftsmanship.

Addressing any discrepancies before you move in ensures a smooth transition into your new home.

4. 11-Month Warranty Inspection

As the end of your builder’s one-year warranty approaches, we offer:

  • Comprehensive Home Evaluation: Identifying issues that may have developed over the first year.
  • Detailed Reporting: Providing documentation to support warranty claims for necessary repairs or adjustments.

This proactive approach helps in addressing concerns while still under warranty coverage.
