Think Your New Build is Perfect? Think Again...

Hi, I’m David Lelak with IHI Home Inspections, and if you're buying a brand-new home in Dacula, GA, or nearby cities like Cumming, Alpharetta, Woodstock, or Canton, I’ve got one word of advice:

Inspect.
No matter how shiny or new it looks, a new build can—and often does—have hidden issues. I recently inspected a beautiful new construction home in Dacula (Gwinnett County), and the findings might surprise you.

Issues Found in a Dacula New Construction Inspection

Even with brand-new materials and fresh paint, here’s what we discovered:

1. 🔩 Roofing Flaws: Exposed Nails & Loose Braces

Exposed nails may sound minor, but they can lead to leaks and costly water damage. We also found loose roof braces, a major red flag for structural integrity.

2. 🧱 Unsealed Brick Siding: Moisture’s Invasion Point

Without proper sealing, brick siding can allow moisture to penetrate your walls—causing mold, rot, and long-term deterioration.

3. 🚪 Interior Damage: Hall Bath Door Concern

You might shrug off a damaged door, but I see it as a sign of poor quality control. In new construction, small oversights often point to larger, systemic issues.

Why This Matters in Dacula & Beyond

Dacula’s climate, like many parts of Gwinnett and Cherokee counties, brings challenges for any structure:

• High humidity = greater risk of mold and wood rot

• Frequent rain = your roof and drainage better be solid

• Shifting soil = foundation problems waiting to happen

That’s why new construction home inspections in Dacula, Alpharetta, Cumming, and Woodstock aren’t optional—they’re critical.

How Builder Inspections Aren’t Enough

Sure, your builder had it “inspected,” but here’s the truth:

• ✅ City inspectors focus on minimum code compliance

• ✅ Builders want to close quickly and move to the next project

• ❌ No one is looking out for you—unless you bring in your own inspector
