Deals with inspection issues
Why 11-Month Warranty Inspections Are Essential
Even newly built homes settle, shift, and reveal hidden workmanship issues within the first year.
DFW’s expansive clay soil, extreme weather, and fast-paced construction timelines can all contribute to early wear or system malfunctions.
Common warranty issues we uncover:
Foundation cracks or settling
Roof flashing and drainage issues
Improper attic insulation or ventilation
HVAC air flow imbalance
Plumbing leaks or drain slope issues
Gaps in caulking, tile, or sealant
Cosmetic drywall or trim cracking
Your builder is obligated to correct these — but only if they’re documented before warranty expiration.
Comprehensive Builder Warranty Inspection Services
Full Structural & Systems Evaluation
We inspect foundation, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to verify performance and identify warranty-related concerns.
Cosmetic & Finish Review
Our inspectors note drywall cracks, paint separation, tile grout defects, and other cosmetic issues typically covered under builder warranty.
Energy Efficiency & Airflow Check
We test attic insulation, ventilation, and duct performance to ensure your system runs efficiently and comfortably.
Drainage & Grading Review
Improper grading or poor gutter flow can void warranty coverage later — we catch these problems early.
Builder Report Documentation
Your same-day Sentinel Shield 360™ report is formatted for builder submission, with annotated photos and clear repair recommendations.
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.
