NEW CONSTRUCTION DOES NOT MEAN DEFECT-FREE. 🏠🌡️
During a recent inspection of a luxury new-construction home approaching an eight-figure price tag, our thermal imaging camera detected an unusual temperature pattern behind the bathroom tile.
Further investigation revealed that an air-conditioning vent had been completely tiled over during construction.
Without thermal imaging and a thorough independent home inspection, this defect could have gone unnoticed—potentially affecting airflow, comfort, and HVAC performance in the bathroom.
No matter how new, expensive, or beautifully finished a home may be, mistakes can still happen behind the walls and finishes.
Building new or purchasing new construction? Schedule an independent inspection before your final walkthrough and closing.
