11-Month Warranty Inspections in New Braunfels, Texas
If your home is approaching the one-year mark in New Braunfels, now is the time to take a closer lookābefore your builderās warranty expires.
Most new homes come with a 1-year builder warranty, but once that deadline passes, repairs typically become your responsibility. An 11-month warranty inspection helps identify issues while theyāre still covered, giving you the opportunity to have the builder address them.
At Heritage Property Inspections, we provide clear, detailed inspections so you know exactly what to bring to your builderāno guesswork.
ā ļø Why an 11-Month Inspection Is Important
Homes settle and systems get used over time. Issues that werenāt visible at closing often show up months later.
We commonly find:
- Foundation movement or settlement cracks
- Drywall cracking or ceiling separation
- Doors and windows no longer operating properly
- Drainage issues around the home
- HVAC performance concerns
- Minor plumbing leaks or fixture issues
Catching these before your warranty ends can save you significant out-of-pocket costs.
š What We Inspect
An 11-month warranty inspection is a full evaluation of the homeās major systems and components, including:
- Foundation and structural components
- Roofing and exterior systems
- Electrical systems
- Plumbing systems
- HVAC performance
- Interior finishes (walls, ceilings, doors, windows)
- Attic and insulation
We focus on changes since construction and issues that may qualify for warranty repair.
