Wall Cracks and Poor Plaster Finishing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1691\">Hairline cracks in walls are one of the most common defects seen in new apartments. While some cracks are cosmetic, others may indicate structural movement or poor plaster work.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1852\">These cracks usually appear near doors, windows, beams, and column joints. Poor curing during construction or improper plastering can lead to these issues.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1968\">A professional home inspection can help determine whether the cracks are harmless or require immediate correction.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"1973\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"6owj9g\" data-start=\"1975\" data-end=\"2027\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Poor_Waterproofing_in_Bathrooms_and_Balconies\"><\/span>2. Poor Waterproofing in Bathrooms and Balconies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2208\">Water leakage is a major concern in many newly constructed apartments. Improper waterproofing in bathrooms, balconies, and terraces often leads to damp walls and seepage problems.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2308\">Over time, this moisture can damage paint, weaken plaster, and create unhealthy indoor conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2310\" data-end=\"2439\">During a pre-possession home inspection, inspectors check waterproofing quality, drainage slope, and possible leakage points.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2444\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"15s5lt6\" data-start=\"2446\" data-end=\"2495\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Plumbing_Defects_and_Water_Pressure_Issues\"><\/span>3. Plumbing Defects and Water Pressure Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2497\" data-end=\"2666\">Plumbing problems are frequently discovered during home inspections. These may include leaking pipes, improper pipe alignment, or low water pressure in taps and showers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2668\" data-end=\"2857\">Many buyers only notice these problems after moving in. Testing plumbing systems before possession helps ensure that water supply, drainage, and pipe installations are functioning properly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2859\" data-end=\"2932\">Proper inspection can also identify hidden plumbing defects behind walls.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2934\" data-end=\"2937\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"di7b2e\" data-start=\"2939\" data-end=\"2988\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Uneven_Flooring_and_Poor_Tile_Installation\"><\/span>4. Uneven Flooring and Poor Tile Installation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2990\" data-end=\"3148\">Improper tile installation is another common construction mistake. Uneven flooring, hollow tiles, or poor grout finishing can reduce the durability of floors.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3150\" data-end=\"3243\">Hollow tiles often produce a hollow sound when tapped and may crack under pressure over time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3245\" data-end=\"3366\">Professional inspectors check tile alignment, finishing quality, and installation strength to ensure flooring durability.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3368\" data-end=\"3371\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"jqe70p\" data-start=\"3373\" data-end=\"3411\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Electrical_Installation_Defects\"><\/span>5.

Home inspections often reveal issues such as loose switchboards, improperly connected wires, or missing earthing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3587\" data-end=\"3670\">Poor electrical work can increase the risk of short circuits or electrical hazards.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3672\" data-end=\"3780\">During inspection, experts test switchboards, power outlets, wiring quality, and electrical load safety.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3782\" data-end=\"3785\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"8wcfbu\" data-start=\"3787\" data-end=\"3826\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Door_and_Window_Alignment_Issues\"><\/span>6. Door and Window Alignment Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3828\" data-end=\"3975\">Misaligned doors and windows are common in newly built apartments. Improper installation can cause difficulty in opening or closing doors smoothly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3977\" data-end=\"4072\">These issues may also lead to gaps that allow dust, noise, or rainwater to enter the apartment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4074\" data-end=\"4181\">Inspectors check frame alignment, locking systems, and installation quality to ensure proper functionality.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4183\" data-end=\"4186\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1hwnz5m\" data-start=\"4188\" data-end=\"4220\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Inadequate_Drainage_Slope\"><\/span>7. Inadequate Drainage Slope<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4222\" data-end=\"4386\">Drainage slope plays a crucial role in bathrooms, balconies, and utility areas. If the slope is not designed properly, water may accumulate instead of draining out.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4388\" data-end=\"4471\">Standing water can lead to dampness, foul odor, and long-term waterproofing damage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4473\" data-end=\"4566\">A home inspection ensures that floor slopes and drainage outlets are correctly installed.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4568\" data-end=\"4571\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"2v07m4\" data-start=\"4573\" data-end=\"4605\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Incomplete_Finishing_Work\"><\/span>8.
