What is a Home Warranty Inspection?

You bought a newly constructed home and decided that the home warranty was worth it. But after 11 months, your one-year warranty period is almost up. 

Some home warranties can last two to five years so it’s crucial to remain aware of how long your protection lasts. Mark your calendar to keep track!

Schedule a reminder 1 month before its expiration date. This will give you the time you need to plan a home warranty inspection with Divinity Inspection Service.

Why Do I Need a Home Warranty Inspection?

Let’s face it, although sellers are supposed to be transparent about problems, many of them hide property flaws on purpose. No matter how meticulous a home inspector is, even the best cannot catch every issue, especially if they were intentionally covered up.

Some home sellers paint over water-damaged walls, repair foundation cracks, and otherwise disguise telltale signs to keep us off the trail when we perform our intial home inspection during the home buying process. But after a few months, that leaky roof or faulty plumbing has had time to reveal itself again. You may not notice it, but an inspector will.

Even small problems can have huge consequences. So even if you think a defect is insignificant, it’s within your best interests to get as much out of your warranty as possible. If issues aren’t corrected, they can lead to more expensive renovations or restorations in the future. 

Are you prepared to handle the cost of those repairs out of pocket? 

No, and you don’t have to!

You should not pay for repairs that were the fault of the builder or OEM manufacturer. This is exactly why home warranties exist.

How Do I File a Home Warranty Repair Claim?

The easiest and most successful way to file a home warranty repair claim is to have an experienced and trustworthy property inspector identify any and all concerns in a thorough report. Then, you can present the report to the builder or warranty company. A Divinity home inspector will help provide you with adequate proof and offer friendly guidance and support to make the process go smoothly. 

Once your request is processed, the builder will correct their mistakes or the home warranty company will send a technician to your door.

Does My Home Warranty Need to Almost Expire Before I Receive a Home Warranty Inspection?

No! You can schedule a home warranty inspection at any point while your home warranty is active. If you feel that your home is not up to standards and want to file a claim, it’s best to have it documented by your trusted home inspection service right away.
