A builders warranty inspection is a home inspection typically conducted before the 1-year builder’s warranty expires on a newly constructed home. Many new homes come with a warranty from the builder, covering various aspects of the construction, such as structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, and appliances.

The purpose of the inspection is to identify any defects or issues that may have arisen since the home was built. These could include settlement cracks, improper installations, or material failures. Once identified, the homeowner can request that the builder address and fix the issues under the terms of the warranty before it expires.

This type of inspection ensures that homeowners can take full advantage of their warranty and avoid costly repairs later.
