Oftentimes, building a new home allows you to skip a lot of the problems that can arise with moving into an older home. However, new construction isn’t exempt from issues. It’s important to have a new construction inspection done by a professional home inspector before you move in. Here are a few of the top reasons why.
- New does not mean problem-free. Just because something is new doesn’t mean there’s no possibility for damages or problems. Human error, defective parts, and other problems can cause issues for your home shortly down the road. Identifying imperfections in a new construction inspection allows you to take advantage of warranties before they expire and have problems fixed before they worsen.
- Systems working now can break down prematurely. Many homeowners think a new construction inspection isn’t necessary if everything seems to be in order once they move in. However, improperly installed systems may function properly for a year and then break down prematurely. Inspection services can identify any flaws in the installations before you’re dealing with premature repairs and replacements.
- Looks matter. If you agreed upon a certain aesthetic choice with your builder, you’ll want to make sure these choices were properly implemented. It’s easy to skip over details accidentally, but an inspection can bring to light small issues or inconsistencies, so you can contact the builder and get the problem fixed.
