New Construction Snafus

Before I became an indoor air quality (IAQ) professional, I was a contractor and a home inspector. During my home inspections and IAQ investigations of newly constructed homes, I found many problems that worried me, no matter what professional “hat” I wore. Here are some real-life experiences:

Inspecting New Homes

Many of the issues or defects found in existing homes were there from day one. Your knowledge and experience of inspecting occupied homes will give you a sense of what you’ll find in new homes, aside from age-related issues or the wear and tear of an older home having been lived in.

Professional Networking

Grow your professional network, find a mentor, network with the best, and best part of the community that’s making home inspection better every day.
