Find a home inspector you can trust with Clear Sight Inspections

Homes are Hand-Built, and Mistakes are Made

A new-construction home won’t always be perfect. There can be numerous faults that won't be identifiable for you, but an expert. A new home won't come with a guarantee. New or old, there can be errors in construction, even when high-quality material is used. If you purchase a new home without proper inspection, you're leaving yourself, your family, and your investment at the builders' mercy. A professional home inspection lets you spot any problems with the construction before making the payment for the house and save you from many potential issues down the road.

Common Issues for New Construction Houses

Countless mistakes can happen during home construction, but there are some issues that are commonly faced by home buyers. For example:

• Non-functioning electrical outlets and switches
• Non-functioning or improperly installed appliances
• Improperly installed roofing
• Improper grading (ground slopes toward the home)
• Poor insulation
• Plumbing leaks
• Unsealed windows and doors

How Do These Things Happen?

Problems in home constructions typically occur due to honest mistakes, and they have nothing to do with bad intentions. Every builder has a different level of professionalism, standard, and experience. Additionally, construction errors may also occur due to hasty work because of strict deadlines.

Protect Your Investment

It isn’t unusual for new constructions to come up with issues, but not pointing them out on time leads to bigger nightmares. Issues such as plumbing leaks, unkempt roof, malfunctioning HVAC system, and others may stay hidden until you begin living in the house.
