11-Month Warranty Inspections: Don’t Let Your Builder Warranty Expire Without One
If you’ve moved into a newly built home within the past year, you’re probably enjoying the fresh paint, modern features, and worry-free living that comes with new construction.
But before your builder’s 1-year warranty runs out, there’s one critical step you shouldn’t skip: the 11-month warranty inspection.
At Carolina Quality Inspections LLC, we help new homeowners in Harnett County and surrounding areas catch potential issues before the builder’s responsibility ends—saving you time, stress, and thousands in potential repairs.
🕐 Why Schedule an Inspection at Month 11?
Most builder warranties cover materials, workmanship, and sometimes even systems for up to one year. But once that year is up, any repairs become your responsibility. That’s why we recommend scheduling an inspection around month 11, while you’re still within your warranty window.
A professional inspection ensures:
All systems are functioning properly
No early signs of structural or mechanical failure exist
You can file warranty claims before the deadline
You’re protecting your long-term investment
🧰 Common Problems Found in New Construction
You might be surprised to learn that even brand-new homes can have defects. Some of the most common issues we uncover during 11-month inspections include:
Improper roof flashing or minor leaks
Cracked or settling foundations
Faulty or incomplete insulation
Loose electrical outlets or open junction boxes
HVAC airflow imbalances
Window seals already failing
Poor grading or drainage issues
Nail pops and settling cracks in drywall
While these may seem minor now, they can escalate quickly if left unaddressed. Catching them early gives your builder the opportunity (and responsibility) to fix them.
