The home inspection company Pillar to Post is urging buyers of new homes to have them inspected before closing the transactions, saying that many buyers erroneously believe new homes are problem free.
According to the company, many new homes have poor workmanship that ultimately can cost a buyer thousands of dollars.
The company said the five most typical flaws discovered in new homes are:
-- Improperly connected air condition pipes that will cause central air conditioning units not to work.
-- Incorrect framing that could force plumbers to cut through the framing to install pipes.
-- Poor grading in the basement, causing leaking and poor ventilation.
-- Poor roof flashing that could lead to leaks.
-- Inattention to detail that could lead to look ductwork, mismatched joints, cabinet doors that don't close and non-level floors.
