During a home inspection of a new construction property,
several discoveries may arise despite the property's relatively recent build.
Common issues found include incomplete or substandard installations, code
violations, and overlooked defects. These discoveries could range from minor
cosmetic imperfections to more significant structural concerns.
Some typical findings in new construction inspections include issues with electrical wiring, plumbing leaks, improper ventilation, insulation deficiencies, and roofing problems. Additionally, the quality of materials and workmanship might not always meet expected standards. Watch Ashi-Certified Inspector, Johnny W. walk you through recent findings at a new construction inspection completed recently.
The advantage of a new construction inspection is that it
allows buyers to identify these issues early on, ensuring that the builder
addresses them before closing or within the warranty period. Having a
professional inspection provides peace of mind, as it ensures that the property
meets safety standards and is constructed to last.
It is crucial for prospective buyers of new construction
homes to prioritize a thorough inspection to identify and address any
underlying problems, safeguarding their investment and ensuring a smooth
transition into their dream home.
