Home Inspection and Environmental Services in Maryland and Washington DC

A new construction home inspection will give you insights into the new home you are buying. You’ve heard repeatedly that buying a home may be the biggest investment of your life, so knowing any issues upfront, even on new construction, and getting them taken care of by the builder, will allow you to enjoy your new home for many years. We’ve seen how troubling it is for new homeowners who did not have a thorough New Construction, Pre-Drywall inspection performed. 

A termite inspection is also known as a wood-destroying organism inspection and involves inspecting rotten wood and looking for insects that damage wood. This inspection looks for mud tubes, damaged wood, and actual termite activity. Damage can be caused by any type of insect, primarily termites, that feed on and nest in the wood that supports your home’s frame, porch, patio, flooring, ceiling, and other places. Of course, not all wood-destroying insects are termites, and the good news is that this type of termite damage can be prevented.

A Pre-Sale Home Inspection will provide you with information about your home. Regardless of how long you’ve lived in your home or how old it is, there could be unknown issues that could hinder a sale. Many home sellers in Annapolis, MD, have secured a Pre-Sale Home Inspection before putting their home on the market. 

The three phases of new construction inspections are as follows:

Phase 1: Examination of the first phase of new construction is the foundation. We do this inspection when the home’s foundation makeup has been completed, and the builder has poured the concrete. We ensure the foundation is level using a laser level, evaluate any drainage systems for water control, and ensure the foundation (Basements and Crawl Spaces) has been sprayed or coated with Modified Bitumen. This is a synthetic rubber used to help keep water from penetrating through the foundation walls.

Phase 2: Pre-drywall inspection evaluates the framing, plumbing, electrical, heating, and cooling systems. Major systems within the walls are included to ensure no potential problems could arise after drywall installation. 

Phase 3: 11^th Month Builders Warranty Inspection is the final home inspection once construction is completed. 

This inspection is important because the home is now “alive, “so to speak. The water and electricity are now flowing through the pipes and wiring. This allows us to check the operation of all the components to ensure they are functioning as intended.

Buying a home that did not undergo a professional inspection puts you at risk of several issues that are either costly to repair, a safety concern, or, worse, can no longer be seen, hence you will learn of these issues when they arise later.
