Don't Let Your Builder's Warranty Expire Without an 11-Month Inspection

Don't Let Your Builder's Warranty Expire Without an 11-Month Inspection

New construction feels safe. Brand new everything, a builder who seems confident, and a 1-year warranty to back it all up. Here's the problem — that warranty only works if you actually use it.

Foundation issues, HVAC problems, drainage failures, roof defects. These things don't always show up on move-in day. They show up after a few seasons. After the house has settled. After rain has exposed something nobody caught during the build.

That's exactly what the 11-month inspection is for.

Before that warranty expires, I come in and do a full inspection of your home. I'm looking for anything that has shifted, settled, or failed since you moved in. If I find something — and I often do — you have documentation. Real, detailed documentation you can take back to your builder and say: fix this, it's still under warranty.

Once that year is up, those repairs come out of your pocket. Not theirs.

I spent 20 years in the Navy as a pilot and intelligence officer. My job was to catch what other people missed before it became a serious problem. That's the same mindset I bring to every 11-month inspection in the Austin and San Antonio area.

If you're coming up on that one-year mark, don't wait. Call or text me at (210) 997-8871 or email admin@hirustedanchor.com and let's get it scheduled.
