11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection in Miami-Dade County
If you purchased a new construction home in Doral, Kendall, Homestead, or anywhere in Miami-Dade County, your 1-year builder warranty is expiring soon — and most homeowners have no idea what defects may be hiding. An 11-month inspection identifies warranty-claimable issues before the clock runs out, at the point when your builder is still obligated to fix them at no charge.
Warranty Inspection Scope — Miami-Dade New Construction
After nearly a year of occupancy, your new Miami-Dade home has been through its first rainy season, its first hurricane season, and the inevitable settling that comes with South Florida's expansive soils. This is the right moment to have an independent inspector evaluate what's developed since your final walk-through.
Roof & HVHZ Connections
Miami-Dade's storm season provides a meaningful stress test for new roofing systems. We evaluate roof condition, flashing, and hurricane strap connections — particularly for any wind-related movement or water intrusion that developed since closing.
Foundation Settlement & Cracks
South Florida's soil conditions can cause slab settlement in the first year of occupancy. We document hairline cracks, step cracks, and door/window misalignment that may indicate movement requiring builder attention.
Water Intrusion & Drainage
Rain season in Miami-Dade is intense. We look for evidence of water intrusion at windows, doors, roof penetrations, and in the garage — issues that may not have been apparent during pre-closing inspection but have become visible after occupancy.
HVAC Performance & Ductwork
Air conditioning systems in Miami-Dade run harder than virtually anywhere else in the country. We evaluate cooling performance, duct sealing, filter condition, and drainage — issues that affect efficiency and comfort.
Plumbing Fixtures & Drainage
We check all plumbing fixtures, supply valves, drain lines, and water heater connections for leaks, improper installations, or drainage issues that have developed since you moved in.
Electrical & Safety Devices
We test GFCI outlets, smoke and CO detectors, and evaluate the electrical panel for issues that may have developed since installation — including loose connections, tripped breakers, and panel labeling.
