Final Walk-through Inspection: This process covers testing of all the major components - electrical, main service panel, breakers, amperage and conductor ratings, receptacle polarity, GFCI and arc-fault systems, lighting, exhaust vents, single and 3-way switching, HVAC, natural gas or electric furnace (air-handler), compressor (air-conditioning), freon lines, condensate lines (condensate drip pans) and proper drainage, thermostats (control only), heat-pumps, ventilation, ductwork, filtration system, registers, plumbing, water heater (natural gas or electric), including proper ventilation (for all gas appliances) and TPR (temperature, pressure, relief valve) discharge line, main shut-off valves, supply pressure measurements, plumbing fixtures, drains and p-traps, disposal and dishwasher units, doors, cabinets, drawers, counter tops, faucets, anti-siphon devices, main water meter, stairs, hand-railings, balcony railings, attic access, insulation, truss system, vapor barriers, exterior wall coverings, EIFS (systems), light fixtures, soffits, fascias, metal drip edge, trim molding, metal weep screeds, etc.

The final walk-through inspection should be scheduled and completed prior to the final walk-through by the builder.  This inspection will identify any issues which requires attention or necessary repair prior to closing on the home.  A professional inspection by an independent third-party gives you added piece of mind in the purchase of your new home and helps your builder in delivering a higher level of customer satisfaction.  This process benefits both the buyer and the builder.
