Are Construction Defects Lurking? Buying a home, whether it is one which is already built or one that you are having built to your exact specifications, means dealing with many unknowns. With new construction, many people mistakenly believe that the building inspections done during the building process will ensure that their new home is defect free, but this is not true at all. The inspections done during the building process are simply to make sure that your home is safe for you to live in, with no structural defects that could cause the home to collapse. This does not mean that the home is perfect or that it is exactly what you want and are paying for. Some people may not want to have a professional home inspection done because of the extra costs, but in these situations the money you save may end up costing you much more later on. No matter how old or new the home you want to rebuild and or purchase is, a professional home inspection is crucial to protect you and your family and finances. These home inspections cover much more than the simple structure and main components of the home. A professional home inspection should cover every area and component of your home that can be accessed or that is Even new construction can have problems. In New York and many other states, many new home buyers have purchased brand new homes without insisting on a professional home inspection and they have regretted that decision. Not all contractors and subcontractors are the same, and some will try to cut corners and pad expenses by using cheaper material and a lower quality of work that can be done faster. When this happens your dream home may quickly turn into a huge nightmare. There have been cases of brand new foundations and structures cracking, leaking, and experiencing a number of other problems. Walls can crack and bulge, causing the entire home to be defective and with a distinct lean or angle where there should not be any. Older homes may also have serious problems. Mold can be a big one, and this can actually be a serious health problem for certain people who are sensitive to these substances. Mold starts with small leaks or flooding normally, and a good professional home inspector will usually be able to tell from hidden signs A professional home inspection report should be more than just a simple checklist. Each significant finding should have a place on the inspection report. Each home inspector will have their own unique report format and style, but there should be room on the report for the inspector to make notes about each area of concern, as well as determining the condition. A professional home inspection can cost from five hundred dollars up, depending on the size of your home as well as other relevant factors. Even the smallest home should take around two hours to inspect completely, and you should be present during the inspection so that you can ask any questions you may have about the home.
