11-Month Warranty Inspection (Phase 4)

A Full Home Inspection just prior to the expiration of your 1 year warranty

Most builders have a multi-year warranty system for new homes.
1 year for the entire home, bumper to bumper
2 years for mechanicals (plumbing, electrical, HVAC)
10 years for structural (foundation, framing)

An 11-Month Warranty Inspection provides you the documentation you will need for your builder so that any issues that arise can be addressed prior to the expiration of your 1-Year Builder Warranty.

 

Below are just some examples of things we can find at your 11-Month Warranty Inspection and reasons why this inspection is highly recommended, even if you did get a pre-closing inspection.

  • Things may operate differently once a family of 4 moves in and is running the dishwasher and  laundry at the same time while someone is taking a shower.  At the pre-closing inspection, there weren’t several TV’s, computers and appliances plugged in at the same time drawing power from the electrical panels.  These conditions can’t be simulated in a vacant home any may not present themselves until after you’ve moved in.

  • There might be some cracks that appear that weren’t there prior to closing. We can document these and try to get the builder to fix.

  • Perhaps when they installed the tile surround for the shower and filled it in with grout, there were areas where the grout was not applied as thick. Something like this will look right before it’s used but over the first year, with many showers and cleanings, some of the tile grout may have come loose and now there are gaps. These could be potential leak points that the builder should fix.
