What turns up in the first year of a new house
A house can pass its closing inspection and still develop problems in its first twelve months. A warranty inspection from Alert Home Inspections is meant to find those unforeseen problems while the builder still owes you an answer. It looks at the same structure and systems as any TREC inspection, with a close eye on what changes after you move in.
That means foundations and walls, ceilings and floors, doors and windows that no longer close the way they did, roof coverings and attic structure, and plumbing supply and fixtures. A hairline crack above a door frame is the kind of item that costs the builder little to address now and costs you plenty once the warranty has ended.
