New Home Warranty Inspection (Tarion)
Buyers of new houses expect no defects or repair costs in the first few years. They
believe that municipal building inspections will catch any significant problems and that
the Ontario New Home Warranty Program will cover any repair costs.
WRONG!
or...
a) You just purchase a new home and your going to take possession - do you know
what to look for? are you aware that DASH Inspection Services can accompany you
on the PDI?
b) You have taken possession and start noticing some defeciencies, do you know
what to do and that you only have a certain amount of time? DASH Inspection
Services can help with your 30-day, 1 year and 2 year Warranty Coverage.
Read Below:
Buyers of new homes can not be assured that the builder will correct any deficiencies
to the buyer's satisfaction, unless details are specified in the PDI, 30-day, 1 year and
2 year Statutory Warranty Forms.
DASH Inspection Services New Home Inspection can help a Buyer identify incomplete
and deficient items just prior to possession, when the Buyer is asked to inspect the
new home and sign the Confirmation of Receipt of the New Home Warranty Package
and/or the CCP - Certificate of Completion and Possession. (Following possession,
the builder can claim that common defects were the result of shrinkage, minor
settlement, etc which are specifically excluded from the warranty coverage). It is
clearly to the buyer's advantage to identify all deficiencies as early as possible to
minimize the possible exclusions. This is where the PDI - Pre-Delivery Inspection is so
important, DASH Inspection Services can accompany you on the PDI to ensure a
detailed inspection is performed.
DASH Inspection Services inspection is focused on defects in material and
workmanship. Many of these defects relate to failure to meet building codes or
standards. DASH's inspections can not confirm compliance to all codes and
standards since most completed areas have concealed components and few houses
meet all of the mandatory requirements. New homes are covered by the Ontario New
Home Warranty Program (ONHWP) against defects in materials and workmanship for
the first year. Water penetration from the exterior and mechanical equipment such as
the furnace have warranty coverage of two years from the date of possession. The
house is covered for a period of seven years against major structural failure which
leaves the house substantially uninhabitable. The buyer must notify both the builder
and the ONHWP in writing (Stautory Warranty Form) within the applicable warranty
period i.e. 1 yr, 2yr and 7 yr. Again, this is were DASH Inspection Services can help
in Inspecting and Preparing the necessary Tarion Forms for Warranty Coverage.
