Quality Counts with A Better Home Inspection

While home inspections are common in the world of real estate and construction, not everyone understands exactly why they’re so important or when they’re needed. But home inspections are valuable for many reasons. Let’s learn some more:

I’m Buying or Selling My Home. Do I Really Need an Home Inspection?

Sellers should absolutely hire a home inspector before they put their house on the market. If your inspector discovers potential problems like outdated wiring or structural damage, it can give you ample time to correct the issues or disclose them before you list your home. Not only can this reduce liability risks, but it can help you to justify a higher asking price.

Buyers can also benefit from investing in a new home inspection before they complete an offer. Many times, homes have issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye; only an experienced professional will know how to spot them.

If your inspection turns up serious issues, you may end having to walk away; however, if your heart is set on the house, you can make an offer that’s contingent on the sellers making repairs at their expense.

I’m Not Buying or Selling My Home. Should I Hire a Colorado Home Inspector Anyway?

Our homes are havens where we go to unwind and feel safe and relaxed. Unfortunately, though, our homes sometimes have hidden health hazards lurking just out of sight. We offer specialized home inspections for homeowners who are worried about certain issues.

Many homes in Colorado contain high levels of an invisible, radioactive gas called radon. In fact, radon levels in as many as 50% of Colorado residences exceed EPA-recommended levels. Colorado radon testing performed by an expert can protect the health of you and your family.

In addition to radon, mold is also a common issue found during Colorado home inspections. This often shocks homeowners, who don’t expect mold to flourish in such a dry climate. Mold can cause structural damage to certain areas of your home, along with devastating health problems to its occupants. Colorado mold inspection is a good idea for any home in the area, especially if you’ve been dealing with unexplained health issues.

A quality home inspection consists of a thorough and detailed inspection of a home’s interior and exterior. A certain level of expertise is required, as the inspector will conduct a variety of tests and will also take precise measurements.

A Better Home Inspection offers comprehensive and in-depth home inspections. We follow a detailed inspection checklist to ensure that every area is thoroughly examined. The areas we’ll inspect include the following:

During the course of the inspection, we’ll look for specific problems, including:

High levels of CO₂
Insect infestations
Rodent infestations

If you have any specific areas of the home that concern you, such as mold contamination or high levels of radon, don’t hesitate to let us know! We’re always happy to spend extra time to give you the peace of mind you need.

Benefits of Home Inspection for Buyers and Sellers

The home inspection is an integral step for all parties in the home purchasing process. For sellers, being able to pre-certify their property’s inspection is a great selling point. A home inspection helps sellers arrive at a fair market price, and it’s even been proven to help a home move faster. Should a home inspection turn up problems, it gives the seller time to resolve and repair those issues before moving forward with selling and reduce the seller’s risk for liability in the future.

A home inspection alerts buyers to potential issues with a home with complete transparency. It also gives them more precise measurements of the size of the home’s property, and a better estimate of its value for negotiating purposes. Most importantly, home inspections give buyers the security that the home they’re buying has been thoroughly examined for the most pressing problems.

Home Inspection

The complex job of a home inspector consists of seeking and reporting major defects like structural failures, minor defects that could become major defects if not addressed, anything that could impede financing, and safety hazards. A Better Home Inspection guarantees maximum effort, intensive inspection, and detailed reporting to ensure you know exactly where you stand. Extensive qualifications and experience, advanced equipment, and thorough inspection and reporting are intrinsic to our operations.

What Home Inspection Covers

A Colorado home inspector like A Better Home Inspection gives an accurate profile of property conditions and issues to ensure a home’s structural fitness. Our process for a home inspection in Denver includes a complete series of surveys, observations, and tests of all the home’s parts, including:

Structural and exterior – Home foundations, roof, chimneys, framing, walls, landscaping, gutters, and drainage systems.
Interior – All the rooms, including attics, basements, crawlspace, halls, and entryways.
Insulation and ventilation – Heating and cooling units, including central air and fireplaces.
Plumbing – All the fixtures for water and waste movement, including well water, testing for leaks and excess moisture.
Electrical – All appliances, wires, circuits, safety switches, and lighting.

Colorado Mold Testing & Inspection

Mold accumulation is not always obvious or noticeable in a home. With enough humidity, mold can grow in the darkness in bathrooms, basements, attics, ceilings, air vents—virtually any area that can support its growth.

Left unchecked, even low levels of mold can harm a home’s air quality, causing discomfort or illness in those with allergies, asthma, or respiratory ailments. Certain cultures, like black mold, can be toxic and fatal to almost anyone who comes into contact.

Early mold detection and removal can prevent the most serious side effects of mold growth. Getting a jump on mold can instantly improve air quality, reduce the risk of structural decay, and lessen the chance of dangerous, possibly lethal physical symptoms of those affected by its presence.

A certified Colorado mold inspector like A Better Home tests the surfaces, hard-to-reach areas and air for the presence of mold and the excessive moisture that supports its growth.

Comprehensive Radon Inspection

Scheduling a radon inspection is essential when selling or buying a home. Because it’s odorless, radon gas is impossible to detect in the home. It can accumulate in basements or attics, leaking through defective structures like cracked walls, loose pipes, dirt floors, and many other vulnerable surfaces.

Radon gas exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers but usually happens without any noticeable symptoms—which makes it all the more important to test for its presence before it strikes.

A Better Home Inspection’s radon gas testing offers peace of mind for homeowners and prospective purchasers. Sellers are assured that their homes meet local radon compliance standards, and buyers can stipulate that their new homes be sufficiently equipped to reduce radon before finalizing their purchase.
