For East Valley New-Build Homeowners
11-Month Warranty Inspection in Gilbert and the East Valley
Before your builder's warranty deadline, know what needs attention.
Planning ahead
Understand Your Builder's Warranty Terms
An inspection can help document concerns for your builder's review. Warranty periods and coverage vary by builder, component, and warranty terms. Read your documents and follow the required notice procedures.
The Builder's Warranty
Your warranty documents explain the coverage, exclusions, and notice requirements that apply. An inspection documents observed concerns; the builder reviews them under the applicable warranty terms.
Month Eleven Is a Planning Checkpoint
Inspecting around month eleven can leave time to review findings and submit concerns before an applicable deadline. Month eleven is not a universal legal cutoff, and finding an issue later does not by itself determine responsibility.
New Construction Has Defects
Fast build cycles and multiple subcontractors mean issues get covered before anyone checks. Incomplete insulation, improperly terminated plumbing, undersized HVAC. Cosmetically clean, functionally wrong.
It's hard to know what's normal settling and what belongs on the list, especially with a deadline coming. Clear documentation helps you have an informed conversation with your builder.
Full scope. Same-day report.
What the 11-Month Warranty Inspection Covers
This is an inspection of your home's major systems, to the same professional standard as a buyer's inspection. Our inspection team documents observed concerns in a report you can share with your builder.
Our inspection team. Clear findings. One report. Konnor Kirkwood and John Kirkwood perform Breathe Easy inspections, sometimes together and sometimes individually. Your inspector documents the findings and explains the report.
Real findings. Real consequences.
What We Typically Find in New-Build Warranty Inspections
New construction defects don't always look like defects. They look like a clean house that hasn't been lived in long enough to show its problems yet.
Attic ductwork that came loose.
Flex duct gets bumped or was never strapped right during the build. We find sections pulled apart or crushed, cooling air dumping into the attic instead of your bedroom. In an Arizona summer you feel that one fast.
Roof tiles that already moved.
Fast tile installs can leave lifted tiles, exposed fasteners, and thin flashing at vents and valleys. An inspection documents these conditions so you can raise them with your builder for review.
Water running toward the house, not away.
Final grading gets rushed. Soil slopes back toward the slab, splash blocks are missing, and the first monsoon sends water where it should not go.
Bath and laundry fans venting into the attic.
The fan runs, but the duct stops short of the roof. Moist air sits in your attic instead of leaving the house. Common, easy to miss, easy to document.
Outlets and breakers wired wrong.
Reversed polarity, a missing GFCI by a sink, an open junction box left in the attic. Small stuff a punch list should have caught and often did not.
