Home Warranty Inspection 

The one-year new home warranty inspection is a guarantee provided by builders for any adjustments, repairs and safety concerns. Unfortunately, homeowners wait too late before calling a third-party inspector to sweep the house for any defect or damage.

What we recommend you should do instead is to call Kissee Inspection Services, before your one-year new home warranty inspection expires.

What is Covered in the One-Year Warranty?

Each state has different standards. But we’ll give you an idea. Within the next 12 months, your plumbing system and electrical system are covered by the warranty (also builder’s defects). In a year’s time, any damage that can impact on the structure of the house will be repaired at the contractor’s cost. That is, if you can prove that it’s the builder’s fault.

As for the other components, however, the one-year warranty may vary according to company policy. For instance, your appliances will have a different warranty cover compared to your bathtub. This is outside the purview of the builder.

Poor Workmanship and Code Approval

You know what sounds crazy? Just because your home may have passed the building codes doesn’t mean that your home is perfect. What most people don’t realize is the laws set the minimum standards for safety and health of the future residents in a home. That means, the integrity of the structure or to ensure that no materials are used that can pose a hazard to the health of its occupants.

Does workmanship come into play during the inspection? Of course not. As long as the occupants are safe, then the permits get approved.
