11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection in Dallas–Fort Worth
Most builders offer a one-year warranty — but if you don’t document issues before it expires, you’re on your own.
Sentinel Home Inspections provides 11-Month Builder Warranty Inspections across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex to help homeowners catch hidden defects and verify that new homes are performing as they should.
Our Sentinel Shield 360™ inspection system goes beyond surface checks, uncovering the structural, mechanical, and environmental issues that may have developed since move-in — giving you the proof your builder needs to act before your coverage ends.

Deals with inspection issues
Why an 11-Month Warranty Inspection Is Crucial
Even new homes settle, shift, and expand — and that movement can reveal underlying issues.
Scheduling a professional inspection at the 11-month mark ensures you can make warranty claims before your builder’s obligation ends.
Our inspectors identify:
Foundation movement or slab cracks
Nail pops, drywall cracking, and framing shifts
HVAC or electrical issues that have emerged with use
Poor insulation, ventilation, or attic moisture buildup
Leaks, drainage problems, or sealant failures
Cosmetic or finish issues still covered by warranty
A documented inspection now can save thousands in post-warranty repairs later.
Comprehensive Builder Warranty Inspection Services
Full-Home Evaluation
We inspect every system and component — structure, roof, mechanicals, and finishes — to ensure all elements function properly.
Warranty Repair Documentation
We provide annotated reports with photos and repair notes that builders can use for warranty work orders.
Safety & Code Compliance Review
We confirm your home continues to meet safety and building standards after occupancy.
Moisture & Airflow Diagnostics
We use infrared and airflow testing to detect leaks, humidity imbalances, and insulation gaps.
Optional Post-Repair Verification
Once the builder completes work, we can reinspect to verify repairs were properly executed.
Local Expertise That Makes a Difference
Sentinel’s inspectors know the DFW market inside and out — from the slab foundations of Fort Worth to the attic ventilation systems in Frisco. Our deep local knowledge helps identify region-specific issues like:
Foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils
Attic heat buildup and roof deterioration
Drainage and grading problems from heavy storms
Aging HVAC systems common in older Dallas suburbs
We tailor every inspection to the area’s unique housing styles, from historic properties in Arlington Heights to new builds in Prosper.
The Sentinel Shield 360™ Warranty Process
Our Sentinel Shield 360™ approach ensures that your home warranty inspection is thorough, data-backed, and defensible.
1. Performance Review
We evaluate the structure, systems, and finishes for new or evolving defects.
2. Builder Accountability Check
We identify which issues fall under builder responsibility versus homeowner maintenance.
3. Thermal & Moisture Imaging
Advanced diagnostics reveal hidden leaks, air gaps, and early-stage deterioration.
4. Report for Warranty Claims
We create builder-ready documentation with clear repair notes, photos, and timestamps.
5. Repair Verification Follow-Up
We can confirm builder repairs were completed and functioning properly after warranty work.
Sentinel Shield 360™ means confidence at every level — from soil to structure.
