New homes are being built in the greater Charlotte region at a rapid pace. If you are having a new home built, or purchasing a newly built home, don't rely on the builders word that each phase of the construction process is being done right. Even if municipal building code inspections are being passed, this means your new home has only met the absolutely minimum standard to pass inspection! It's no secret that many builders will do the least amount of work needed to pass inspection. This means after your new home's warranty expires (usually within 12 months), you will have to pay out-of-pocket for repairs that could have been avoided if they were caught during the construction process. Onsite's trained inspectors can spot future problems in advance by identifying improper drainage, sub-par framing, poor electrical work that can lead to fires, improper window and door sealing and much more. Identifying and correcting construction issues early in the process means that the contractor has to pay for these corrections, not you!

When it rains, stormwater will always seek the path of least resistance. Whether it is gravity pushing it down, wind driving it sideways or flatter areas that allow it to pool, water intrusion is one of the most damaging elements to your home! This includes the foundation, crawlspace and basement as well. Without proper drainage from the gutters to the ground, improper drainage will slowly destroy your home and erode your yard. To prevent this from happening, have Onsite perform a Post-Construction Stormwater Drainage Inspection on the property you are interested in purchasing. Make sure the builder has properly installed the gutters, roofing materials, French drains where needed, and graded the lot to shed water away from the house.
