Don't let your new home warranty expire without a thorough inspection. We identify construction defects and deficiencies covered under your 2-5-10 warranty — before the clock runs out.
Understanding the Process
In British Columbia, all new homes come with mandatory 2-5-10 warranty coverage. This protects homeowners against defects in materials and labour (2 years), building envelope issues (5 years), and structural defects (10 years).
An 11th-month warranty inspection is a professional assessment performed just before your first year of ownership. The goal is to identify any construction defects, unfinished work, or deficiencies that should be addressed by the builder under warranty — before the 2-year coverage window begins to close.
Even brand-new homes can have issues. From improperly installed windows to plumbing leaks behind walls, a certified inspector knows exactly what to look for and how to document it for your warranty claim.
BC Home Warranty
British Columbia's mandatory new home warranty program protects homeowners at three levels.
Covers defects in materials and labour including windows, doors, finishes, plumbing fixtures, electrical, and more.
Covers defects in the building envelope that allow water penetration — including walls, roof, windows, and doors.
Covers major structural defects including foundation, load-bearing walls, beams, and the structural integrity of the home.
Why It Matters
Even brand-new homes can have construction defects, unfinished work, or code violations. A professional inspection catches what the untrained eye misses.
Your warranty has time limits. If deficiencies aren't documented and reported before the deadline, you lose your right to have them fixed at the builder's expense.
A detailed inspection report with photos and videos gives you documented evidence to present to the builder — making it harder for them to deny or delay repairs.
Catching warranty-covered issues before they expire can save you thousands in out-of-pocket repair costs. The inspection pays for itself many times over.
