New Construction Home Inspections

December 3, 2019/0 Comments/in /by baainspections

If you think new home construction does not need a full Home Inspection, you’ll be surprised.

It has been our experience that we encounter more issues with new construction as opposed to existing homes. Builders want to do a good job but mistakes happen. It’s the Inspector’s job to protect their clients’ safety and from major deficiencies of the largest investment they will make.

These photos are from a single house we inspected.

Attic Inspection

We entered the attic. It was sealed using blown in rigid foam. Good stuff and great for a sealed environment. The attic temperature was a cool 81 degrees in the dead heat of a Florida summer. As we traversed the attic we noted more than a few broken Trusses.  The pictures of the attic below show broken multiple members and deficiencies. The foam insulation was sprayed over a mis-nailed and unsecured member.

Plumbing Inspection

Check out this video.

Beautiful tub, right? From a distance it was breathtaking to see. It looked like the tub everyone wants. We approached it with awe. But look again. It was deceiving. Upon testing we found  that it had a plastic insert, which was cracked under the overflow drain. Then we found that the base shell that was not secured to the floor. The video shows we could easily pick the entire tub off the ground.

Thermal Inspection

Same bathroom. It was west facing making for beautiful sunsets. We noted that there were no AC Ducts which would make the bathroom unbearable hot in the summer. We ran our thermal scanner and as a result found the builder had drywalled over the duct, (the blue area shown below). This never would have been caught without a home a home inspection!

Wait for it!

And as a parting thought we bring you this 20 second video below. This was a different home. It is a glaring, (and hilarious), testament to why new construction need a home inspection!

I met the inspector/owner, Mr. Joe Lester and he was friendly and took the time to explain his methodology for the home inspection and the report that would be generated. Mr. Lester stated that he would have the report completed and that I would have a copy of the report for my review later that day. Later that evening, I received a 72 page detailed report that included pictures. More importantly, it explained each discrepancy and the risk(s) that they pose if not taken care of. The following day, I called Mr. Lester to explain some concerns I had regarding his findings. Once again, Mr. Lester was patient and provided additional information to address my concerns. As a result, I decided to continue on with purchasing the home. I am truly impressed by Mr. Lester's work ethic, honesty and dedication. As it is well known that purchasing a home is typically the largest investment that a person may make and also the most stressful. Rest assured, that Mr. Lester will provide you the same level of service that will assist you with your home purchase. Therefore, I highly recommend BAA Inspections, LLC as your choice for a reliable home inspection to be conducted by Mr. Lester. read less

We needed a 4 point inspection and a wind mitigation to get a new insurance. We contacted BAA Inspections and were able to schedule an inspection for the same day. Joe Lester was very professional and an amazing home inspector. He answered all the questions we had in detail and he pointed out things that we never would have thought to look for and gave us helpful hints on how to fix a few things. He went above and beyond even measuring the fire hydrant near our property for additional discounts since it was so close. His website is easy to use and the reports were easy to read and understand, which made the process very easy for us. He sent us the report the same day of the inspection. We highly recommend BAA Inspections. Joe will provide you an excellent customer service. Thanks Joe..!! read less
