New Home Inspections

All new homes and condominiums in Ontario are protected by the Tarion New Home Warranty

Under this program detailed forms and checklists are required to be submitted to Tarion.

Welcome Home Inspections offers a New Home Package which includes the following:

Pre-Delivery Inspection:

The builder is required to perform a pre-delivery inspection with you before you take possession and move in. The PDI form is used to document the conditions in your home as they existed before the builder hands over possession to you. It is submitted to Tarion by the builder.

If a problem arises such as a damaged or missing item, and it is not recorded on the PDI then it may be difficult to establish that the condition existed before you moved in.

Your WELCOME HOME inspector will conduct a comprehensive inspection inside and out to help you identify as many items as possible in order to protect your investment. He will check that the major systems of the home are installed correctly and operating properly and he will assist you prior to signing the PDI form. This is your first opportunity to view your new home in its completed state and it is very important to identify any items that are missing, incomplete or not operating properly. No written report is issued at this time.

A WELCOME HOME inspection protects your peace of mind

Note: Written notice must be given to the builder ahead of time to allow access for a Home Inspector during a PDI,

30 Day Inspection, 12 month Inspection and Two year Inspection:

After you have lived in your new home for a period of time some defects may show up that were not apparent at the PDI.

It is the responsibility of the new home owner to submit a list of deficiencies to Tarion prior to the 30 day, one year, and two year anniversary. Any claims related to defects covered by these warranties may not be accepted if they are filed after the due date.

These inspections are your opportunity to have the builder correct or repair any problems with the major systems in your home. This includes electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling and ventilation systems.

Water penetration into the basement, exterior cladding and structural defects are also included.
