New Constructions
Inspection Overview
A home inspection on a newly constructed home is just as vital as on any older property. Even in brand-new homes, construction errors or oversights can happen. Our inspections typically uncover 20-35 deficiencies, including:
- Missing flashing
- Pinched ductwork
- Unfinished insulation
- Minor plumbing adjustments
- Improper sealant around windows, tiles, or water features
- Faulty electrical connections
- Incorrect thermostat settings on water heaters or furnaces
- Minor roof repairs
We conduct a comprehensive inspection from the foundation to the roof to ensure the builder meets all safety and quality standards. Catching issues early helps prevent costly repairs down the line. Our expert home inspectors are committed to protecting your investment and ensuring your new home is truly built to last.

Including a septic or sewer scope in your home inspection helps identify hidden plumbing issues, saving you from costly repairs later and giving you added confidence in the condition of your investment.
Sewer Scope
A sewer scope inspection for residential homes is designed to assess the condition of a property’s sewer line and identify potential issues. Using a specialized camera, a trained inspector examines the interior of the sewer pipe to detect blockages, cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, and other potential problems that may not be visible from the surface.
Septic System
A septic system inspection evaluates the condition and functionality of a home’s septic system, which is responsible for treating and disposing of wastewater from the household. The inspection involves examining components such as the septic tank, drain field, pipes, and distribution box to ensure they are in good working order. The purpose of this inspection is to identify potential issues such as leaks, blockages, sludge buildup, or system failures that could lead to health hazards, costly repairs, or environmental contamination.

During the inspection, various components are evaluated, including the pool structure, lining, decking, pumps, filters, heaters, plumbing, and electrical systems. The inspector checks for cracks, leaks, proper water circulation, and safety features like fences, covers, or alarms. The purpose of a pool inspection is to identify potential safety hazards, structural issues, or equipment malfunctions that may require repair or replacement.
Outbuildings
