New Construction Home Inspection
A new construction inspection gives you a greater ability to ensure your new home is being properly built to spec. While it is not a Code Inspection we do look for some of the same things as the authority having jurusdiction would and more. We look for things like an appropriate amount of electrical outlets and proper spacing of studs, but also for excessively warped or twisted boards, the placement of HVAC ducts and registers and any notching of joists or studs. Periodic inspections can be scheduled from the beginning of construction if you would like more frequent updates about your home's progress, all the way up to the final walkthrough. Call us to discuss an inspection for your new home.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
New construction homes are not perfect, mistakes are made and that’s why we provide Pre-Drywall Inspections. Typically these inspections are scheduled after the plumbing and electrical have been roughed in and the insulation installed. During the Pre-Drywall Inspection we inspect the foundation, floor, roof, HVAC equipment, windows and exterior wall covering. We check for:
Stud Spacing
Outlet Amount and Spacing
Condition of Building Materials
Plumbing Connections and Supports
Electrical Wiring and Junction Box Placement
Notched Joists and Studs
HVAC Duct and Register Support and Placement
Firestop Materials
Questions About Home Inspections? Talk to an Inspector
Aside from the added value of our various ancillary Home Inspection Services, we aim to be a source of general information for you moving forward as a home owner. Buying a brand-new home can be a daunting commitment. On the one hand, it’s exciting and you can have it built to your liking. On the other hand, houses are built so fast now, how can you be sure that any mistakes made were only cosmetic and truly negligible. Certainly, many builders offer a 1 or 2 year warranty, and some offer up to a 10-year limited warranty. Check with your builder for the terms of your warranty and schedule inspections at the right time to get the most out of your new home construction and warranty. We give you the information you need to make an informed decision, as well as to properly maintain and repair a home. Call (843) 806-0757 to talk to a Licensed South Carolina Home Inspector Now!
