HomeTeam Inspection - Happy one-year birthday to your beautiful newly built home. But buyer beware: your home may still contain defects that can result in expensive repairs. As the one-year warranty draws near its expiration date, this is a crucial time to have a home inspection in order to avoid paying large bills on maintenance repairs and fixtures. The HomeTeam Inspection Service, the leader in the home inspection industry, encourages homeowners to inspect before they invest in avoidable fees.

“A homeowner should ask the builder of their new home questions before the closing about potential problems that could arise and how it will be handled, including anything that may need to be replaced and fixtures that require continual maintenance,” said Greg Haskett, vice president of The Home Team Inspection Service. “These same questions should be readdressed several months after the purchase as well.”

 Following are several of the specific potential problems that should be professionally inspected prior to the warranty expiration provided by The HomeTeam Inspection Service:

 Furnace-Evaluate and verify its working order and any maintenance issues.

• Roof-Inspect for any damaged shingles or leaks.
• Attic-Inspect for signs of water damage due to a leaky roof.
• Potential Leaks-Plumbing, roof damage, and other areas in need for repair could be responsible for leaking water into the home.
• Appliances-Test the condition, efficiency, and life expectancy.
• Foundation-Check for any cracks or leaks in a faulty foundation that could lead to massive damages for the home.

 The HomeTeam recommends a home inspection within eight to ten months of the purchase, which will leave time for the builder to fix and most importantly, compensate for any necessary repairs before the warranty ends.

 Through the expertise of a comprehensive and professional inspection, any minor or major repairs in newly built homes can be detected while still under the one-year warranty, saving potentially large expenses later.
