Is Your New Home Truly "Turn-Key"?
Many believe a new home is a perfect home. However, fast-paced construction can lead to hidden issues. Our comprehensive new construction inspections in Chicago often uncover problems like:
- Hidden Rough-In Errors: Plumbing leaks or electrical issues may be buried behind drywall. These are often missed before walls are closed.
- Incomplete Insulation: Gaps in the thermal envelope cause high heating bills. This is especially true during Chicago winters.
- Structural Short-Cuts: Improperly spaced joists or missing hurricane straps. These can compromise your home’s structural integrity.
- Grading & Drainage Failures: New landscaping may direct water toward your foundation. This can cause significant water damage.
Our 3-Phase New Construction Inspection Process
We offer a flexible inspection approach to fit your building schedule. This ensures thorough coverage at critical stages:
- Phase 1: Pre-Drywall Inspection: This occurs after framing, plumbing, and electrical rough-ins are complete. It happens before the walls are closed. This is your only chance to see the “bones” of your new home. We help address potential issues early.
- Phase 2: Final Walkthrough (Pre-Closing): This is a thorough 500-point inspection of all finished systems and appliances. We check cosmetic surfaces. We ensure everything meets standards before you sign the final papers.
- Phase 3: 11-Month Warranty Inspection: This inspection is performed just before your builder’s one-year warranty expires. We catch “settling” issues or shrinkage cracks that appear during the first year. This helps you utilize your warranty effectively.
Advanced Technology for Detailed Inspections
At Valor Property Inspections, we go beyond basic checks. To verify your builder’s quality during new construction inspections in Chicago, we use advanced tools and expertise:
- InterNACHI® CPI Expertise: Erasmo, a Certified Professional Inspector, combines elite training with advanced data analysis. He accurately identifies every potential red flag in your new home.
- Advanced Thermal Imaging: We scan the entire home. This identifies “cold spots” where insulation may be missing. It’s a critical check for ensuring energy efficiency standards are met.
- FAA-Certified Drone Technology: We inspect the roof, flashing, and chimney caps from above. This ensures the roofing crew left no damage or debris on your new build.
- BREEZE ET Continuous Radon Monitors: New builds are often tightly sealed. This can trap Radon gas. We use BREEZE ET technology to ensure your new home’s air is safe to breathe.
- Digital Moisture Mapping: We verify that the “new home” smell isn’t hiding a slow leak. This includes checking plumbing stacks and other potential moisture sources.

FAQ
City inspectors often have 10-15 minutes per house and only check for basic code violations. We spend 3-4 hours looking for quality-of-life defects, installation errors, and long-term maintenance traps.
Ideally, right after the electrical and plumbing "rough-ins" are done and the roof is dried in, but before the insulation and drywall are installed.
Absolutely. Most builders are required to fix "settling" issues within the first year. We provide a professional report that makes it easy for you to claim those repairs before your warranty expires.
