Folks remember that Post I did awhile back telling you about those homes around the Eureka Airport that were open to the snow and sleet, they put house wrap on last fall to shut me up but they did not attempt to properly dry the studs.
With ALL homes, new construction or not it would be VERY wise to INSIST that your Home Inspector provide you with a Thermal Imaging Inspection.
This is amazing and will let you know, for sure, what is going on Behind the Drywall. The LESS you let the Builder get away with, the less harm is done to you and your family.
Rot, Mold, and Structural Issues can do more than take your money.
An infrared home inspection can Expose Faulty Electric, Rat Damage, Insulation Issues, Insulation Leaks, Water Damage in the Wall, Underground Leaks, Hots Spots such as Fuses and Electrical Issues, Insulation Gaps, Where are the hot water pipes and radiant heat runs, Shows water damage under drywall, around window, Bathroom Leaks, Wall Leaks, and more.
REQUIRE your Home Inspector to OFFER this.
Your Realtor, Your County or State Should offer
it for FREE to the Real Estate Consumer.

What is Behind the Drywall.
Folks it Really is Not a Good Thing
that local building get so much moisture before they are
closed up for good, that new doctors office up by the bowling
alley sure did get alot of water, it would be very interested to do a
thermal imaging inspection there. How can mold spores not be
in the walls? No I am NOT a Mold Expert, obviously, but there are
a whole lot of links on the internet that claim, point to or proove that the building envelope should not be closed up until it is thoroughly dried, and not necessarily just sun dried over a long weekend.
