New construction inspection
No new build is ever truly perfect. Before you unpack your boxes, let Lightning Contracting Home Inspections examine your home so you can settle in with complete peace of mind.
Comprehensive new build checks
Even newly built homes can have hidden defects or incomplete installations. We look past the fresh paint to verify that every critical system in your property functions reliably before your builder's warranty deadlines arrive.
Plumbing and drainage
We inspect backflow valves, verify drainage lines, test water pressure, and check for hidden leaks beneath new fixtures.
Electrical and safety
We verify proper GFCI outlet placement and operation, confirm breaker box wiring, and test installed appliances.
HVAC and insulation
We check furnace sizing, confirm complete window sealing, and evaluate airflow across every living space.
Focusing on functionality, not just cosmetics
A new build walkthrough is about how your home actually works. While cosmetic touch-ups can be handled later, we make sure your essential systems operate safely right from day one.
The perfect timing for your inspection
The ideal time to book is right after you have closed and received the keys, but before you start moving furniture in. With an empty, clutter-free house, we can thoroughly inspect every corner, crawl space, and mechanical component without obstruction.
Friendly guidance for first-time buyers
Buying brand new should be exciting, not stressful. We provide a prompt, friendly one-on-one walkthrough to explain our findings clearly, helping you document items for your Tarion warranty or builder follow-up list.
