Join Matt with Texas Edge Home Inspections as he walks you through a detailed pre-drywall inspection on a new construction home—one of the most critical (and often overlooked) phases of the building process.

In this video, we break down what inspectors look for before drywall is installed, including:

• Exterior weather-resistant barriers (WRB) and proper continuity
• Flashing installation at windows, doors, and penetrations
• Common issues like unsealed plumbing and electrical penetrations
• Insulation gaps, compression, and missing coverage
• Attic ventilation requirements and airflow concerns
• Interior framing defects and structural red flags

Matt highlights real-world issues frequently found during pre-drywall inspections and explains why addressing them early helps prevent moisture problems, energy loss, comfort issues, and costly repairs.

Whether you’re a homeowner building a new house, a buyer under contract, or a builder aiming to improve quality control, this video delivers practical, no-nonsense insight into what matters most before drywall covers everything.
