11-Month Warranty Inspections
Document Visible Concerns Before Builder Coverage Expires
After living in a new home, settlement, seasonal changes, and everyday use may reveal conditions that were not apparent at closing. An independent warranty inspection helps you organize visible concerns before the builder’s applicable deadline.
What the Service Includes
Occupied-Home Perspective
We evaluate accessible systems and components after the home has been used through part of its first year.
Clear Documentation
Photo-rich findings help you communicate visible concerns to the builder while applicable warranty procedures are still available.
Why Schedule Before the Anniversary
- You purchased a newly built home with a builder warranty or correction period.
- Cracks, sticking doors, drainage concerns, leaks, comfort problems, or finish changes have appeared.
- You want an independent review before submitting a final warranty list.
- The home had a pre-drywall or final inspection and needs follow-up after occupancy.
Plan Around Your Actual Warranty Terms
Builder agreements vary. Review your documents and schedule early enough to receive the report, ask questions, and follow the builder’s notice procedure before any deadline. TMK documents visible conditions; the builder determines coverage under its contract.
What You Receive
Major-System Review
Accessible structural, exterior, roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, interior, attic, insulation, and drainage conditions are reviewed within the inspection scope.
Actionable Report
The report separates documented conditions from cosmetic preferences and recommends specialist evaluation when a concern exceeds a visual inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule an 11-month warranty inspection?
Schedule before the builder’s applicable deadline and leave enough time to review the report and submit required notice. Check your agreement because deadlines vary.
Is this the same as a municipal code inspection?
No. It is an independent visual home inspection, not a municipal code-compliance inspection or warranty-coverage decision.
Can TMK reinspect items from an earlier report?
Yes, when prior documentation is available and the requested follow-up is within the agreed scope. Tell us when scheduling.
Does the builder have to repair every finding?
Coverage depends on the builder agreement, applicable standards, and the builder’s review. TMK documents conditions but does not decide warranty coverage.
Do you also inspect homes during construction?
Yes. TMK offers new-construction and pre-drywall inspections as separate services at appropriate project stages.
