Warranty Inspections

Is your new home warranty about to expire? Do you really know about all of the defects in your new home? Don't let your warranty expire without having a knowledgeable third party inspector inspect your home and report on its defects.

This service can save you time, money and aggravation. Intra-Spec can inspect your home and compile a list of any deficiencies that you can present to your builder prior to the end of your warranty. Often, the fee for this service pales in comparison to the number and value of the defective items found. It is best to have your home inspected 45 days prior to end of your warranty.

Some common defects found during a warranty inspection:

Improper grading of yard areas- Can cause water to collect around your foundation and lead to basement leaks
Improperly installed roofing- can cause your roof warranty to become void
Improperly installed exterior wall finishes i.e. brick, vinyl,or aluminum - Can allow water/moisture to intrude into the building envelope
Drywall cracks and nail pops- often due to inadequate support of structural members
Door frames out of square and doors that won't open/close
Flaws in hardwood, vinyl, tile and carpeting
Improperly installed heating and air conditioning components
Missing or improperly installed saftey and/or handrails
