Building a new home?

If you’re building a new construction home, you might assume that a home inspection isn’t necessary. After all, you had the house built from scratch and customized to your exact needs. Wouldn’t a home inspection waste your limited time and money?

New construction home inspections will provide many valuable insights into the property’s conditions at different phases of  the new home’s construction. We want to educate our clients about their homes during these different phases. Our goal is to aid in preventing costly repairs on the home and homeowner later on down the line.

Structural Issues

Premature cracking and distortions in foundation walls can occur when builders overlook proper curing time for concrete which is required for poured and block foundation structures. Wrong framing techniques, which might be invisible initially, can lead to crack formations in the drywall.

Roofing Issues

Defective roofing is commonly seen in a new home during the home inspection. Occasionally, shingles are found to be incorrectly  installed. Other roofing problems that can lead to premature deterioration of the roof include roof leaks, faulty/no flashings, nail pops, and missing ventilation.

Plumbing Issues

Plumbing issues like leaks shouldn’t be ignored because they cause severe property damage and A few other plumbing defects observed by home inspectors include leaking fixtures, dripping faucets, slow or clogged drains, and more.

Electrical Issues

Electrical defects are most commonly found in homes, old or new. They should be considered serious because they can cause injuries, fire, or safety hazards. Some of the electrical concerns to watch out for in new home constructions are incorrectly wired outlets, reversed polarity, missing switch plates, and more.

Drainage Issues

One of the most common defects seen in newly constructed homes is poor drainage systems. Insufficient flow of stormwater may mean the gutters need correction. Drainage defects can cause a lot of damage to your property and home, so you should have both interior and exterior drainage systems inspected.

Attic Insulation Issues

A new construction inspection will check your attic to see whether or not it is properly insulated and that there are no open spots that may make the attic floor visible. With a properly insulated attic, your home will remain comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient.

Grading Issues

Incorrect grading is another common issue observed during new home construction inspections. This results in considerable property damage and expensive repairs. It’s always better to detect these new construction defects before it becomes an issue for the homeowner to deal with.

Just because a new home may look perfect, doesn’t mean it’s perfect below the surface. Having Palm Valley Home Inspections come in to Inspect while the different systems of the home are being built allows us to provide an invaluable service for our clients.
