Local housing

Homes in Apple Valley.

Apple Valley housing runs to 1980s-1990s family homes, across the neighborhoods around the parks and lakes, on rolling, wooded sites — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Apple Valley

A newly built Apple Valley house has been through a full year of seasons by the time its builder warranty nears its end. A year of settling reveals itself: slope changes where backfill has sunk against a walkout, nail pops, trim gaps, sticking doors and caulk shrinkage. Bring our written findings to the builder while the warranty still covers them.

Questions

Common questions.

When exactly do I schedule it?
Around month eleven, leaving time to file the report before the one-year warranty closes.
What does it find?
Issues a full freeze-thaw cycle exposes — cracking, nail pops, and HVAC and grading items.
Do the rolling lots in Apple Valley cause drainage problems?
They can, if the grading or gutters are not doing their job. On a sloped lot, water runs toward the lowest point, and if that is the foundation, you see moisture in the basement. How the ground slopes near the house, where downspouts discharge, whether window wells are clear and whether a sump is present are what matter. These are usually inexpensive to correct once you know the source.
Do you inspect Apple Valley homes?
Yes — late-century homes here commonly need attention to aging water heaters, HVAC and decks.
