New-build grading & settled backfill
Fresh subdivision lots have backfill that hasn't fully settled, and grading is often left sloping toward the house. We check drainage, basement moisture, and sump operation closely.

Mayer is one of Carver County's fastest-growing small towns, about 23.6 miles east of Hutchinson, with new subdivisions going up year after year. New doesn't mean flawless — and we inspect every Mayer home, from fresh builds to warranty-deadline checks, with a meticulous 120-point checklist and a photo-rich report in 24 hours.

Mayer sits in eastern Carver County along the growing western edge of the Twin Cities metro, and it has been one of the area's fastest-growing small communities. Where there was once mostly farmland and a quiet rail town, new subdivisions of late-model homes have filled in rapidly — drawing families who want newer construction with small-town space.
That's exactly why an inspection matters here. Buyers assume a new home is a perfect home, but rapid construction leaves a trail of misses: grading that slopes toward the foundation, insulation gaps in the attic, untested fixtures, flashing and caulking shortcuts, and components installed under deadline pressure. We inspect Mayer's new builds for what they actually are — and we know the value of an 11-month warranty inspection.

Fast-built subdivision homes have a recurring set of concerns even when they look perfect. Here's what a careful, locally-informed Mayer inspection surfaces.

Fresh subdivision lots have backfill that hasn't fully settled, and grading is often left sloping toward the house. We check drainage, basement moisture, and sump operation closely.

Even new homes ship with thin or unevenly blown attic insulation and ventilation gaps that drive Minnesota ice dams. We verify coverage and airflow.

Deadline pressure shows up in missing caulk, sloppy flashing, and trim gaps that let water in. We document the exterior workmanship a builder may have skipped.

New homes settle in their first year. We document foundation and drywall cracks so you can flag them to the builder before the warranty expires.

A freshly installed system can still be installed wrong. We open the panel, test the plumbing, run the HVAC, and tell you what's right, what needs a builder fix, and what to put on your punch list before closing or before the warranty runs out.
