The Basics
What a Home Inspection Actually Covers
A full inspection covers the structure, roof, attic, insulation, HVAC systems, electrical panels and wiring, plumbing, water heater, interior finishes, windows, doors, and site grading. Thermal imaging is included on every inspection — it reveals moisture intrusion, missing insulation, and overheating circuits that are invisible to the eye. Every finding is validated before your report is delivered, within 24 hours of the inspection.
New Construction
The Three Phases of a New Build — and Why Each One Matters
Pre-drywall: the only moment framing, wiring, plumbing rough-ins, and ductwork are visible. Once drywall goes up, everything behind it is sealed permanently — inspected or not.
Pre-closing: a complete inspection of the finished home before you sign, so every defect is documented while the builder still has to fix it.
1-year warranty: most builder warranties expire at one year. An inspection just before that deadline catches everything the builder is still obligated to repair.

Radon 101
The Invisible Risk in Colorado Homes
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas produced by uranium decay in soil — and Colorado has one of the highest radon rates in the country. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. The EPA action threshold is 4 pCi/L, and the only way to know your home’s level is to test. Testing starts at $200, or $150 bundled with an inspection.
Sewer Scopes 101
The Most Expensive Thing You Cannot See
A sewer scope sends a camera down the main sewer line from the house to the city connection, identifying cracks, blockages, root intrusion, belly sections where waste pools, and pipe material. Sewer repairs can run thousands of dollars — a $175 scope ($150 bundled) is cheap insurance on a line no surface inspection can see.
