11-Month Warranty Inspection Charlotte

Most new construction homes in Charlotte come with a builder's 1-year warranty. Before that warranty expires, an 11-month warranty inspection from New Charlotte Home Inspections can save you thousands of dollars in repairs that your builder is obligated to fix.

What Is an 11-Month Warranty Inspection?

An 11-month warranty inspection, sometimes called a builders warranty inspection, is performed approximately 11 months after you close on your new construction home. This gives you time to identify defects while your builder's 1-year warranty is still active and before the window to file claims closes.

What Defects Do We Find at 11 Months?

After living in a home for nearly a year, many issues become apparent that weren't visible at closing. Our Charlotte home inspectors look for:

• Foundation settling and cracking

• Nail pops and drywall cracking from framing movement

• HVAC performance issues and ductwork problems

• Roof leaks and improper flashing

• Grading and drainage problems that developed after landscaping

• Plumbing leaks under sinks and at appliance connections

• Electrical issues that have emerged with regular use

• Window and door sealing failures

• Deck and exterior structure concerns

How to Use Your Warranty Inspection Report

Our detailed inspection report documents every defect with photographs and clear descriptions. You present this report to your builder with a formal warranty claim request. Builders are required by NC law and the terms of the warranty to address legitimate defects. Many of our Charlotte clients have received thousands of dollars in warranty repairs from their builders after submitting our inspection findings.
