New Construction going Underground!
New Construction Phase Inspection Catches Defect of Underground Service to House
When building a home, it’s important to ensure that every aspect of the construction is up to code and in good condition. But some defects may be hard to spot. That’s why a new construction phase inspection is vital for ensuring that everything is done correctly and safely. Such was the case with a recent new build in the Owensboro area.
The builders had finished the job, and the homeowners were almost ready to move in. However, during the new construction phase inspection, it was discovered that there was a problem with the underground service line to the house. This service line was responsible for providing the home with electricity,
The problem was that the underground service line was not properly connected to the house. If this defect had gone undetected, it could have caused major damage to the home and the environment. Proview Professional Home Inspections reported this to the client, and the builder and requested that they repair the defect.
In a matter of weeks, a reinspection was performed only to find out that it was covered up with a sleeve and not properly repaired! The homeowner was relieved to know that we caught this issue and can now feel safe in their new home.
New construction phase inspections are important for ensuring that all aspects of the construction are up to standards and that the home is safe and secure. In this case, the inspectors were able to detect a defect that would have caused major damage had it gone undetected. This is just one example of why it’s important to have a new construction phase inspection done on any home that is being built.
At the end of the day, these inspections are essential for ensuring that the home is safe and secure for the people who will be living there. It’s important to make sure that all aspects of the construction are up to standards and that there are no defects that could cause major damage. With a new construction phase inspection, these defects can be caught and corrected before any harm is done.
