When you take possession of your new home, the first thing to do is to check it over thoroughly. It is important to discover problems early and report them to the retailer or the installer within the warranty's time limits.
- INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Listed below are some areas you should check to make sure your home was installed properly.
- Open and close all interior and exterior doors. If a door does not open and close smoothly, it may indicate a need for a minor hinge adjustment, but it also may be a sign that the home is not level. Immediately call this to the attention of the person responsible for installation.
- Examine the entire house. Look at the walls, the floors, and the ceilings. Be certain that all faucets and appliances work.
[TABLE OF CONTENTS]As you make your inspection, jot down on paper every item you think requires service. When you are finished, make copies of the list -- one for you, one for your retailer, and an extra copy for the manufacturer. It is also a good idea to put the date of your inspection on the list.
Carefully inspect your home for any problems as soon as it is installed;
make sure that it is level-check doors, windows, and drawers.
