Why An 11-Month Warranty Inspection Is Important
Your builder’s warranty may cover certain defects and repairs for a limited period, making the months before it expires an important time to have your home evaluated. An 11-month warranty inspection provides an independent assessment of the home and can uncover issues that may not be obvious during everyday use. Identifying concerns such as moisture intrusion, electrical deficiencies, plumbing leaks, HVAC problems, structural concerns, or workmanship defects gives you an opportunity to address them with the builder before your warranty period ends.

What You Can Expect with 11-Month Warranty Inspections
Provide access to all areas of the home, including the attic, garage, exterior, utility areas, and any other accessible spaces. If you have documentation from the builder, previous inspections, or known warranty concerns, having those available can also help provide useful context.
A thorough visual evaluation of the home's accessible components and systems will be performed with a focus on identifying defects, deficiencies, safety concerns, and signs of developing problems.
You'll receive a detailed report documenting the findings and providing photographs and explanations where appropriate. The report can serve as a useful reference when communicating concerns to your builder and prioritizing repairs. Addressing identified issues before the warranty deadline can help prevent small problems from becoming more costly repairs later.
