New Homes
Every home should be professionally inspected—even brand-new construction.
Many buyers assume that a newly built home doesn't need an inspection because it has already passed municipal code inspections. While local code enforcement officials will conduct inspections and issue the final certificate of occupancy, their role is very different from that of a home inspector.
Code inspectors are primarily focused on ensuring that the home meets minimum building code requirements at specific stages of construction. Due to time constraints and the scope of their responsibilities, they typically aren't evaluating every detail of the home's workmanship, functionality, or long-term performance.
A professional home inspector takes a much more comprehensive look at the property. They examine hundreds of components throughout the home, including the roof, attic, foundation, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC system, insulation, doors, windows, and more. Their goal is to identify defects, installation issues, safety concerns, maintenance items, and potential problems that could cost the homeowner time and money down the road.
Even newly constructed homes can have issues such as missing insulation, plumbing leaks, electrical defects, improperly installed roofing materials, HVAC concerns, grading and drainage problems, or cosmetic and workmanship deficiencies. These items can easily be overlooked during the fast-paced construction process.
A home inspection provides an additional layer of protection and peace of mind before closing. Whether the home is 100 years old or was completed last week, having an independent, professional inspection helps ensure you're making an informed investment and gives you the opportunity to address concerns before they become costly repairs.
New doesn't always mean perfect. A home inspection is one of the smartest investments a buyer can make, regardless of the home's age.
Safety should be the top consideration when buying a home. It's important to note that stairways are the most common location for accidents. An inspection will address all areas of your home, ensuring everything is in proper working order and safe for your family.
How often are the hot and cold water lines reversed at a sink? More often than you might imagine.
While it may seem like a minor issue, reversed hot and cold water connections are a common defect found during home inspections. Whether caused by improper installation, repairs, or renovations, this issue can create confusion, inconvenience, and, in some cases, safety concerns.
At BPG Inspections, we test a representative number of plumbing fixtures throughout the home to help identify defects such as reversed hot and cold water lines, leaks, improper drainage, and other plumbing concerns.
Every home inspection is thorough, from the rooftop to the window locks and everywhere in between.
