Writing assignment for Pre-drywall Inspection Course: Specifically, write a few sentences discussing the potential consequences of neglecting inspections or conducting inadequate inspections related to decay protection in a residential building. Consider what might occur if a newly constructed home is not properly inspected to ensure protection against water intrusion and decay.
If we as inspector’s are not thorough during a new construction pre-drywall inspection and do not observe and note the lack of protection against water intrusion and decay, then we have let down our client as well as ourselves. We have put our business at risk and opened ourselves up for a huge liability. Being that water is one of the most destructive threats to a home we should be looking for any possible way that moisture could be a threat to the structure in every inspection that we perform.
