Buying a New Construction Home in Phoenix? Here's What You Need to Know Before You Close.


One of the biggest misconceptions homebuyers have is that a brand-new home doesn't need an inspection.


The reality is that even newly built homes can have installation defects, workmanship issues, safety concerns, and incomplete systems. Municipal building inspections are designed to verify minimum code compliance—not to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your home's overall condition.


At Patterson Property Inspections, we specialize in helping buyers throughout the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area identify issues before closing and before warranty periods expire, giving you confidence in your investment.

Whether you're purchasing your first home, building your dream home, or managing multiple investment properties, our inspectors provide the detailed information you need to make informed decisions.

What Should I Expect from a New Construction Inspection in Phoenix?


A professional new construction inspection is a comprehensive visual evaluation of the home's accessible systems and components before you complete your purchase.

Although builders perform quality control and municipalities conduct code inspections, many issues are cosmetic, functional, or installation-related and may not be identified during the construction process.

Common items we identify include:

  • Improper grading

  • Missing insulation

  • Roof installation defects

  • Plumbing leaks

  • HVAC performance concerns

  • Electrical wiring deficiencies

  • Loose fixtures

  • Damaged windows

  • Missing caulking

  • Improper flashing

  • Door alignment issues

  • Water intrusion concerns

  • Safety hazards

  • Finish defects

Every inspection includes a professionally organized report with photographs and recommendations to help you communicate findings with your builder.


How Do I Book a Termite and Pool Inspection Combo in Phoenix?

If your property includes a swimming pool or spa, or you're purchasing an Arizona home, bundling additional inspections is one of the smartest decisions you can make.

Patterson Property Inspections offers convenient scheduling for:

  • Wood Destroying Organism (WDO/Termite) Inspections

  • Pool & Spa Inspections

  • Sewer Scope Inspections

  • Thermal Imaging

  • Drone Roof Evaluations (when appropriate)

Scheduling multiple services together saves time and provides a more complete understanding of the property's condition before closing.

Our office coordinates appointments so everything is completed efficiently, reducing delays during your inspection period.


Who Provides Reliable Warranty Inspections in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area?

Most builders provide a one-year workmanship warranty, making an 11-month warranty inspection one of the most valuable inspections a homeowner can schedule.

Before your builder's warranty expires, Patterson Property Inspections performs a comprehensive evaluation to identify conditions that may qualify for repair under the builder's warranty.

Warranty inspections commonly identify:

  • Foundation movement observations

  • Drywall cracking

  • Nail pops

  • Roof concerns

  • Plumbing leaks

  • HVAC deficiencies

  • Door and window alignment

  • Exterior settlement

  • Water intrusion

  • Caulking failures

  • Grading issues

  • Electrical concerns

Identifying these items before your warranty expires can save thousands of dollars in future repair costs.


How Do Sewer Scope Evaluations Work During Property Inspections?

Many buyers never see the condition of the home's underground sewer line until a costly problem develops.

A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized waterproof camera inserted through an accessible cleanout to evaluate the visible interior condition of the main sewer line.

Our inspectors look for:

  • Root intrusion

  • Cracked piping

  • Offsets

  • Bellies

  • Blockages

  • Corrosion

  • Separation

  • Debris accumulation

  • Improper repairs

  • Pipe deterioration

A sewer scope can provide valuable information, especially for older homes, properties with mature landscaping, or homes with cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg piping.

Frequently Asked Questions


When should I schedule my new construction inspection?

The ideal time is after the builder has completed construction but before your final walkthrough and closing. If possible, schedule your inspection several days before closing to allow time for the builder to address any identified concerns.


Can I bundle multiple inspection services?

Yes. Patterson Property Inspections offers bundled scheduling for termite (WDO), pool and spa, sewer scope, thermal imaging, and other ancillary services, making the process more convenient and efficient.


What is an 11-month warranty inspection?

An 11-month warranty inspection is performed near the end of your builder's one-year warranty period. It helps identify issues that may be eligible for repair before the warranty expires.


Is a sewer scope worth it?

A sewer scope can reveal hidden defects in the main sewer line that are not visible during a standard home inspection. It is especially recommended for older homes or any property where underground piping condition is unknown.
