Building a beautiful home doesn’t necessarily mean you’re building a healthy home. Even homes that pass every required city inspection can have hidden construction defects, water intrusion, and mold issues that go unnoticed until years later. While building codes establish minimum requirements, they don’t guarantee that your home is watertight, airtight, or built to the higher standards you may expect.
