New Build Inspections

New Build Inspections. Why are they so important to do? The main reason I find, is that the builder has contracted with many different subcontractors to build the house. They are not monitoring every subcontractor for quality assurance and things get missed. Here’s a few examples of some common items that we find doing new build inspections. Check out the sample report at detailshomeinspection.com it’s an actual New Build Inspection that was preformed this year.

Check out this damaged truss in the attic of a new build found this week. People think they don’t need an inspection on a NEW BUILD. Well imagine selling this a few years later and having the inspector find it. Then it’s on you to repair this instead of the builder. We also found moisture stains and mildew in the attic.

Here’s a new build I did this week. Went in the attic and boom, no insulation. They already had the certificate of occupancy, so they were done. Which means the city code inspector already did their work and signed off on the property.

The attic of this new build had a loose lateral brace. These are used to help hold up the trusses when they are constructing the roof framing. We find this all the time. Recommend repair.

Here’s a photo of the sewer line on a new build sewer scope recently done. You can see there’s a rod/stake going through the main line. This would have caused some big problems once the occupants moved in. New build sewer scopes are a great way to find issues like this for peace of mind and not having it become a bigger issue down the road.
