After moving into a newly built home, the first year can feel like everything is perfect but small issues often appear as the home settles. That’s why scheduling an 11-Month Warranty Inspection with Home Inspect AZ is one of the smartest moves a homeowner can make.

Most builders provide a one-year warranty covering workmanship and materials.

An 11-Month Warranty Inspection helps identify these problems while the builder is still responsible for repairs.

Our certified inspectors perform a comprehensive evaluation of your property, checking every system and structure, including the roof, HVAC, foundation, plumbing, and electrical. We look for signs of wear, improper installation, and potential safety hazards. Using thermal imaging and other advanced tools, our team ensures nothing is overlooked.

By addressing these issues before the warranty expires, homeowners can save thousands in out-of-pocket repair costs. It’s peace of mind, documented in a professional report you can submit directly to your builder.

Spot the Drip Before It Costs You: Hidden Water Leaks Found During Inspections

Posted on by Content Manager

One of the most damaging issues a home can face is hidden water leakage. Often invisible to the naked eye, water damage can cause rot, mold, and structural instability over time. Fortunately, a home inspection can reveal these problems before they become costly headaches.

Water leaks can occur in places homeowners rarely check—behind walls, under sinks, in crawlspaces, or beneath floors. Even minor leaks, if left unnoticed, can lead to major mold outbreaks or foundation damage.

During a home inspection, trained professionals use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect abnormal moisture levels. These tools allow them to see beyond the surface, identifying potential leaks even if there’s no visible staining or warping yet.

Identifying a water issue early can prevent massive repair bills. It also gives buyers a chance to request repairs or negotiate pricing before the sale is final. In some cases, it can help buyers walk away from a home with severe, undisclosed water damage.

Hidden water damage can affect insurance, loan approval, and resale value. Catching it during an inspection protects your investment—and your health.

We can help catch and prevent those expenses at First Step Home Inspectors. We cover the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, contact us today.
