STRATEGIC INSPECTION FOR CODE-COMPLIANT CONSTRUCTION

ClearVUE’s Proven Four-Step Pre-Drywall Inspection Process

Framing & Structural Review

Confirming Foundation Integrity and Load-Bearing Accuracy

We begin with a detailed inspection of the home’s framing, checking for proper alignment, secure fastening, and code compliance. Our inspectors ensure the structure is built to last—before it’s covered by drywall.

Mechanical System Verification

HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing Rough-Ins Evaluated for Accuracy

From ductwork layout to wire routing and plumbing runs, we examine every installed system for proper setup and safety. We confirm essential elements meet local building codes and builder plans.

Door & Window Install Review

Proper Installation for Energy Efficiency and Function

We inspect window and door placements, seals, and framing to ensure they're installed level, square, and ready to perform. This helps prevent future air leaks, water damage, and misalignment issues.

Photo Documentation & Reporting

Every inspection includes a comprehensive digital report with photos of key elements—giving buyers confidence and providing builders with actionable notes to make corrections before moving forward.

Pre-Drywall Inspection FAQs

1. What is a pre-drywall inspection?

A pre-drywall inspection is conducted after the home's framing, rough electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are installed—but before drywall is put up. It allows our inspectors to verify critical systems are properly installed and code-compliant.

2. Why is it important to get a pre-drywall inspection?

Once drywall goes up, many parts of the home are no longer visible. A pre-drywall inspection ensures framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are safely and correctly installed, helping prevent costly issues later.

3. What does the inspector look for during a pre-drywall inspection?

We check framing, structural supports, plumbing rough-ins, electrical wiring, HVAC layout, door and window installation, and overall code compliance. Any visible defects or safety concerns are documented in your report.

4. When should I schedule a pre-drywall inspection?

Schedule your inspection after your builder notifies you that framing and major systems are installed, but before insulation and drywall are added. This window is typically short, so plan early to reserve your spot.

5. Do I need a pre-drywall inspection if my builder already does walkthroughs?

Yes. Builder walkthroughs are often limited and may miss details a third-party inspector will catch. Our inspection provides a neutral, in-depth evaluation to ensure nothing is overlooked.

6. Will I get a report after the inspection?

Absolutely. You'll receive a detailed, photo-rich report highlighting all inspected components, any defects or recommendations, and documentation you can share with your builder for correction before closing.

7. Is this inspection required for new home purchases?

While not mandatory, pre-drywall inspections are highly recommended. They protect your investment and give you peace of mind knowing your new home’s internal systems are properly installed before becoming hidden.

8. Can I be present during the pre-drywall inspection?

Yes! We encourage buyers to attend. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions, gain a better understanding of your new home’s inner workings, and see the progress firsthand.

9. What areas of the home are inspected?

Our inspectors review the attic framing, wall studs, floor joists, plumbing and electrical runs, HVAC ducts, window and door placements, and other exposed elements throughout the entire structure.

10. What if issues are found during the inspection?

If we identify any problems, you’ll have time to notify your builder and request corrections before construction proceeds. This can prevent more expensive repairs or delays after the drywall is installed.
