FINAL PHASE 3 / BLUE TAPE NEW BUILD HOME INSPECTIONS

A Final Phase 3 / Blue Tape inspection follows TREC Standards of Practice and the report produced is on the standard TREC report form. For this inspection, it is important to have all utilities in order for successful completion of this inspection.

A final Phase 3 inspection by Searchers Inspections is conducted once the home is ready, when we walk with the builder and place blue tape on defects, which is why this is called the Blue Tape walk. This inspection focuses on structural, operational and safety issues.

This inspection includes all systems found in the home – Interior, Exterior, Structure, Electrical, HVAC, Drainage, Plumbing, Insulation, Built-in Appliances. It may also include – Septic System, Sprinkler System, or other Optional Systems. Additionally, we also apply blue tape to any cosmetic issues noticed during the inspection.
