The visit evaluates the home’s accessible systems and conditions, with attention to your observations and previous repairs.
Water & drainage
Roof and exterior conditions, accessible flashing, grading, drainage, visible staining, and signs of leakage.
Comfort & equipment
Heating and cooling operation when conditions allow, temperature patterns, visible ducts, condensate drainage, and accessible equipment.
Plumbing & electrical
Fixture operation, visible leaks, drains, water heater, accessible panels, receptacles, and installed protective devices.
Foundation, walls, floors and doors
Visible foundation indicators, doors and windows, accessible attic framing, interior conditions, and concerns you have noticed over time.
Thermal imaging supports the evaluation of temperature patterns. Installed irrigation is inspected when present and available to operate.

Questions before you book
11-month warranty inspection FAQs
Why is it called an 11-month inspection?
It is commonly scheduled late in the first year so there is time to document concerns and submit them before applicable deadlines. Your warranty’s start date, covered items, and notice requirements control; check them rather than assuming everything expires at one year.
Should I wait until month 11 to report a problem?
No. Report active leaks, safety concerns, and other problems promptly. The inspection is a planned review of the home, not a reason to delay an existing issue.
Will the builder have to fix everything in the report?
The report documents observed conditions and recommendations. Coverage and the builder’s response depend on your warranty and the circumstances; an inspection does not decide whether a claim must be accepted.
Is this useful if you inspected before closing?
Yes. The home has now been used through daily routines and changing weather. A new inspection can review its current condition and revisit reported repairs that remain visible and accessible.
Can I bring a list of problems I have noticed?
Please do. Note the location, when the issue occurs, and any photos, repair records, or builder correspondence. Intermittent concerns may not occur during the appointment, but your information helps focus the review.
How do I send findings to the builder?
Use the claim or service-request process specified in your warranty. Include the relevant findings and photos, keep a copy of the submission, and request confirmation that it was received before the deadline.
