Home New Construction Home Inspection Fails: Drainage, Roof & Moisture Problems Found

New Construction Home Inspection Fails: Drainage, Roof & Moisture Problems Found

This isn’t a “perfect” new build… not even close.

Join Matt Brading with Texas Edge Home Inspections as he walks a brand new construction home and uncovers drainage issues, moisture risks, and roofing defects that shouldn’t be there in the first place.

If you think new homes don’t need inspections… this is exactly why they do.

🏠 What we found in this inspection:

  • Poor grading and drainage issues around the foundation
  • Standing water that can lead to foundation movement and moisture intrusion
  • Roofing defects like high nails and improper flashing
  • Improper sealing at vents and wall penetrations
  • Conditions that can lead to mold, rot, and pest entry

⚠️ Why this matters:

In hot, humid climates like Houston, water management is everything. Small mistakes during construction can turn into expensive problems fast.

👷 Who this video is for:

  • Homebuyers building or purchasing a new home
  • Realtors who want to protect their clients
  • Builders looking to avoid costly callbacks
  • Homeowners wanting to understand what actually matters
