Why Pre-Drywall Inspections Matter

This inspection is performed after key components like foundation, plumbing, and electrical rough-ins are installed — but before drywall is placed. Once the walls are sealed, hidden issues can be expensive and disruptive to correct. Inspecting early ensures:

• Structural integrity of the foundation, walls, and roof systems
• Proper installation of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
• Correct waterproofing, flashing, and fire-stop materials
• Accurate placement of windows, doors, and framing supports
• That the build adheres to design plans and safety codes

What We Inspect During a Pre-Drywall Walk-Through

• Foundation slabs, walls, drains, and footings
• Floor, wall, and roof systems
• Electrical wiring, outlets, and junction boxes
• Plumbing placement and drain pans
• HVAC air ducts, registers, and vent placement
• Framing quality, joists, studs, pier pads, and retaining walls
• Exterior wall covering, waterproofing, and flashing
• Crawlspaces and firestop material

We also check for practical issues such as sufficient electrical outlets, wood blocking where extra support is needed, and proper placement of appliances and utilities.

Detailed Inspection Reports

Every pre-drywall inspection includes a comprehensive report with photos and/or videos. This documentation helps you and your builder clearly understand the home’s condition, and ensures accountability for resolving issues before construction continues.
