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.
