11-Month Warranty Inspections

Don't let your first-year coverage run out

New homes in British Columbia come with a home warranty, and the first year typically covers defects in materials and labour. After almost a year of living in the home, the house has been through seasonal changes — and that's when settling, leaks and workmanship issues start to show.

An 11-month inspection gives you an independent, professional list of deficiencies with photos, so you can submit them to your builder or warranty provider before the deadline. Check your own warranty documents for the exact dates and coverage that apply to your home.

What we look for

• Water intrusion around windows, doors, roofs and balconies
• Cracks, settlement and drywall or trim separation
• Hidden moisture and insulation gaps using thermal imaging
• Plumbing leaks, drainage issues and fixture problems
• Heating, ventilation and electrical deficiencies
• Exterior sealing, grading and deck drainage

Ideal for condos and houses

Whether you bought a new condo, townhouse, duplex or detached home, a warranty inspection helps you get the most out of the protection you paid for.
