New Home Inspection- Rusch Home Inspectors

Rusch Associates, LLC knows the value of a home; the tangible investment you make and the fact that your financial future is at stake.

Are you building a new home? Do not forgo an independent home inspection. A new home can have as many defects as an existing home. A professional home inspector with Rusch Associates, LLC knows what defects to look for in a new home or one that is under construction. In fact, the home inspectors with Rusch will make site inspections while the home is under construction—up to seven separate inspections.

New Construction Industry

Many homebuyers are under the misconception that a brand new home means defect-free. However, this assumption can lead to costly repairs and upgrades that the builder may be responsible for fixing.

Just because the paint is fresh, the roof is new and the sod has been laid, does not mean the integrity of the home is intact. Just like an inspection for an existing home, an independent inspector examines all the components of a new home. In fact, if they visit during construction it offers the opportunity to see structural and mechanical components not typically visible to them.

New Construction Defects

Consumer groups have begun keeping closer tabs on the loosely regulated construction industry, reporting regular instances of inadequate construction and generally shoddy workmanship. Most problems a home inspector may find in new construction include things like outlets and electrical fixtures that do not work, sloppy electrical wiring or leaky plumbing fixtures.

Other structural anomalies that can be very obvious at the outset suggest major defects: sloping floors or doorways that are off-square, and sticking windows. These types of problems may foretell of serious site problems. Structural defects can be very costly. Your home inspector will prepare a comprehensive, easily referenced inspection report so you know the condition of your new home.
