Why should you still get a home inspection for a new-build property? While many assume new construction doesn’t need an inspection, Brandon Ring, the owner of Key Inspection Services, explains why it is necessary.

With the fast pace of construction, mistakes are unavoidable, and city inspectors may overlook some critical factors during their inspections. Brandon and his team examine crawl spaces, rooftops, and attics that the city and inspectors may not be able to thoroughly evaluate due to time constraints and the large amount of simultaneous construction.

There are instances where seemingly inspected homes have hidden issues, like bathtubs leaking into crawl spaces or toilets that are draining into unconventional places. To highlight the unseen risks, Brandon narrates a case involving a new construction project in Marysville where a sewer scope revealed a crushed sewer line, eventually traced back to inadequate front-of-house support. This resulted in a complete front porch rebuild and structural work for the house.

Because of these potential risks, we strongly advise inspecting newly constructed homes. Even seemingly minor oversights might cause major problems in the long run. While home warranties are reassuring, they do not cover all issues, so we advise arranging a sewer scope inspection for newly built homes to identify any problems early on.

As we wrap up, Brandon invites everyone to explore their website at keyinspectionservices.com for valuable insights and content. Remember, getting a home inspection isn’t just for existing properties; it’s a vital step in safeguarding your investment and ensuring peace of mind in your new dream home.
