Rapid construction pacing across booming North Texas suburbs can result in rushed plumbing installations. Learn what warranty items to inspect before your 1-year warranty expires.
Common Plumbing Deficiencies in New-Build Subdivisions
1. Construction Debris in Sewer Lines: Grout, drywall mud, and gravel washed down drains during construction causing early backups. 2. Improper PEX Expansion Connections: Uncalibrated expansion tools leaving loose fittings in attic cavities. 3. Uncharged Expansion Tanks: Expansion tanks installed without matching house supply pressure. 4. Loose Gas Appliance Connectors: Rushed appliance hookups failing pressure tests.
The Critical 11-Month Warranty Inspection
Before your builder's standard 1-year plumbing warranty expires, hire an independent Master Plumber to perform a comprehensive plumbing inspection, static pressure test, and sewer camera scope so defects are repaired on the builder's dime.
