Why Pre-Drywall Inspections Matter
Protect Your New Home Before Walls Are Closed
A pre-drywall inspection is one of the most critical quality checks during new construction, taking place after framing, wiring, plumbing, and mechanical systems are installed but before insulation and drywall are installed. At this stage, essential structural and system components are fully visible, allowing an inspector to identify issues that would be hidden once the walls are sealed. This proactive inspection helps ensure your home is built to current standards, manufacturer specifications, and accepted best practices.
By investing in a pre-drywall inspection, you greatly reduce the risk of future problems such as leaks, structural deficiencies, safety hazards, or costly hidden repairs. Our service includes a critical inspection performed before walls are sealed, ensuring framing, wiring, and plumbing are installed correctly. This gives you the opportunity to have your builder address concerns at the right time—when corrections are still relatively simple, affordable, and minimally disruptive.
A Dependable Partner During New Construction
Built on Trust and Reliability – At Lowcountry Elite Home Inspections, reliability is the foundation of everything we do. Our commitment to quality, transparency, and attention to detail ensures every client receives a thorough, accurate, and easy-to-understand report. We approach each pre-drywall inspection with the mindset that your home should be constructed safely, correctly, and in a way that supports long-term durability.
Whether you are buying, selling, or building, we deliver peace of mind through dependable service and professional excellence. You can expect punctual arrival, clear communication with you and your builder, and a structured, methodical evaluation of the property. We explain our findings in straightforward language, so you know exactly what is happening inside your walls before they are covered, and you can move forward in the construction process with confidence.
Detailed Evaluation Of Framing, Wiring, And Plumbing
Our pre-drywall inspection service focuses on the elements that are critical to the safety, performance, and longevity of your home. We closely examine framing for proper installation, load paths, bracing, fire blocking, and alignment, as well as how windows, doors, and exterior openings are integrated into the structure. We also look at roof structures, wall connections, and penetrations to help verify that the home’s skeleton is sound before it is concealed.
In addition to structure, we carefully review the installation of electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and HVAC components. This includes checking outlet and switch placement, wiring protection, visible junctions, plumbing runs, venting, drain lines, and mechanical duct routing where accessible. Every pre-drywall inspection costs $300 and typically takes about 2 hours, giving us the time needed to perform a methodical assessment and document recommendations clearly in your inspection report.
For clients planning ahead, we also offer bundled services that combine this phase inspection with a final inspection at completion. Our Pre-Drywall + Final Bundle for homes under 2500 square feet is $600, and for homes over 2500 square feet the bundle is $700. These packages provide continuous oversight from rough-in through completion, helping you track construction quality across key stages and address issues before move-in.
