But it’s brand new… what could go/be wrong?
Let’s start off with this roof leak in a brand new home.

Broken roofing Truss webs are a common item found in new builds!

I have found more items to write up in some new construction then I do in some older homes.

For what it’s worth I am extremely detailed “ the word anal probably best describes what the builder thinks”when in inspecting new homes. I look at it as if my client was buying a new car, if you’re paying full price for the car there should be no dents or scratches in the paint.

So where’s the leak? All I see is some insulation.
Did that water come up from the ceiling or down from the roof. So where is the leak on the roof picture? For all, I know the insulator took a piss on that insulation when he was finished.

That would be some feat to piss in two perfectly straight lines 1.5" apart directly under a truss web across 5 or 6 feet of undisturbed insulation.
I’ve got a picture of what it looks like when someone has pissed in the attic somewhere. It doesn’t look like that.
I’m not trying to bust your balls, Dave I’m just saying if it’s leaking where is the rotted substrate on the trusses or rafters?
Got ya, not taken that way. It’s new construction. The ugly that happens with long term roof leaks hasn’t developed yet. I don’t think it has even made it through the insulation yet.
