Home Inspection in Ammon, ID

Buying a Newer Home in Ammon

A new or nearly new house still deserves a full inspection. Builders work on tight timelines with many different crews, and small misses can turn into bigger repairs later. On new homes in the area, we've found roof flashing that was never installed and a roof damaged badly enough that the builder replaced it.

Thermal imaging is included with every inspection we do. On a custom home in the Idaho Falls foothills, about 10 years old, our thermal scan showed that most of the tall exterior walls in the main living area were missing insulation. It's the kind of thing you can't see by looking at finished drywall. Read the full inspection stories, or learn more about thermal imaging.

The 11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection

If you bought a new home in Ammon within the last year, an 11-month warranty inspection is worth scheduling before the builder's one-year warranty runs out. We inspect the structure, roof, exterior, interior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation and ventilation, and scan the walls and ceilings with a thermal camera.

You then build a custom report with just the items you want the builder to address, with our photos, videos and exact wording, so there's little room for miscommunication. Learn more about the 11-month warranty inspection, or read what to know about buying a new construction home.
