New Construction Inspections
Builder oversights and code gaps are more common than most buyers realize. We inspect at critical phases — pre-drywall and final walkthrough — to catch issues while they're still easy to fix. Don't assume your builder's quality control is enough; an independent inspection protects your investment from day one.

- Structural, mechanical, and finish review
- Independent third-party perspective
Colorado is a high-radon state. Don't skip this test.
Radon Testing

- Certified radon measurement professional
- 48-hour continuous electronic monitoring
- EPA-approved testing protocols

- Mitigation referrals available if needed
- Highly recommended for all Colorado homes
What's underground can cost you thousands — see it first.
Sewer Scope Inspections
A standard home inspection doesn't include the sewer line. A sewer scope inspection uses a camera to inspect the underground line from your home to the city main, revealing root intrusion, cracks, bellying, or blockages that could cost thousands to repair. It's a small investment that can save you from a major surprise.
- Camera inspection of the main sewer line
- Identifies root intrusion, cracks, and blockages
- Checks for bellying or misaligned pipe sections
- Video recording provided with report
- Recommended for homes of any age
- Can be added to any inspection
