Hidden Leak 🚰💧

Think new construction means zero issues? Think again! 🏗️🚿

It is a common myth that brand-new homes are flawless, but this recent inspection proves exactly why a third-party inspection is an absolute necessity before you sign the closing papers.

While running the water in the bathtub, our inspector noticed that the faucet was actively leaking from behind the trim kit where it meets the shower wall. It was even washing out hidden dirt and construction debris from inside the wall cavity!

This sneaky plumbing issue is a major headline for a few reasons:

Hidden Water Damage: Water leaking behind the shower surround can easily saturate the framing and drywall, leading to mold and rot long before it bubbles through to the surface.

Improper Sealing: The washout of dirt indicates that the pipe penetration behind the faucet wasn't properly sealed or pressure-tested before the finishing touches were put on.

The Power of Testing: A quick cosmetic walkthrough might miss this, but an elite inspector tests every fixture under full operation to catch installation errors early.

At Idaho Elite Inspection Team, we treat every home with the same rigorous scrutiny whether it's 100 years old or finished yesterday. 🛡️✨

Don't assume it's perfect just because it's new. Trust the Elite. 🕵️‍♂️🔍
