New Constuction

By
Home Inspector with Pillar To Post Home Inspection

I hear the comment "Why should I get a inspection on a new home? It is under warranty and it's new." Anyone who does not get a professional inspection on any home purchase is taking a big risk on a big investment. I find most problems in the attic where it is out of sight out of mind. You say warranty? If you do not go into the attic you will not see anything and what good is the warranty than.  Defects in the attic could take more than a year to show in the living area. Recently I did a inspection on a new Condo and what i found was unbelievable. The plumber cut completely through two Engineered I Joists in the basement for the waste plumbing. This is a major defect. Do not take a big risk and not have a inspection done. If you like to gamble go to the casino there is many of them around now.
