"New subdivisions rising beside country acreage near the San Antonio River: Daniel Windler brings a Master Plumber's eye and 35 years in the trades to every Elmendorf inspection."
Elmendorf is a small, historic town in southeast Bexar County, set near the San Antonio River and a short drive from Calaveras Lake. For decades it was a quiet farming community. Today it's changing fast, with new subdivisions going up alongside older homes, manufactured homes, and properties on acreage. That mix gives buyers more options at more affordable prices than many parts of the metro, while keeping the open-country feel that drew people here in the first place. ATD Property Inspections, owned and operated by Daniel Windler, a TREC Licensed Professional Inspector (#21665) and licensed Master Plumber, serves buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Elmendorf.
New homes are built quickly in growing areas, and even brand-new houses have defects. Phase inspections at the foundation, pre-drywall, and final stages catch problems while they can still be fixed easily, and an 11-month warranty inspection documents issues before the builder's first-year coverage ends. Daniel's 35 years as a licensed Master Plumber and construction professional give him a builder's perspective on what should be there and what's missing.
Elmendorf's older and rural properties bring different concerns. Some homes rely on septic systems and private wells, which Daniel can inspect as a certified septic inspector and Master Plumber. Manufactured homes need a close look at their supports and under-floor plumbing, and country lots with outbuildings invite termites. Whatever the property, Daniel explains what he finds in plain language, with no unnecessary alarm and no sales pressure.

Yes. New homes regularly have missing insulation, plumbing leaks, grading problems, and unfinished electrical work. The builder's own walkthrough isn't an independent inspection.
Around months 10 to 11 after closing, so there's time to submit your claim to the builder before the first-year coverage ends. Check your warranty documents for your exact dates.
