Arrow Home Inspections serves Colorado Springs, Monument, Black Forest, Falcon, Peyton, Fountain, Security, Widefield, Woodland Park, Divide, Pueblo, Cañon City, Penrose, and surrounding communities.

Inspection prices are published online so clients can view costs before scheduling without needing to request a quote. Reports are typically delivered the same day as the inspection and are written in a clear, easy-to-understand format with photographs, explanations, and practical recommendations. Unlike many inspection companies, Arrow Home Inspections employs inspectors with prior construction and skilled trade experience. Lead Inspector Ethan Martinez worked as both a residential and commercial electrician before becoming a home inspector, providing firsthand knowledge of how homes are built, how building systems function together, and how defects can affect safety, performance, and long-term maintenance. This practical experience allows inspectors to identify conditions that may not be obvious during a visual inspection while helping clients understand the significance of inspection findings in plain language.The inspection team includes InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspectors who follow nationally recognized Standards of Practice and continuing education requirements. Arrow Home Inspections also provides State of Colorado licensed radon testing through NRSB-certified professionals, helping buyers and homeowners accurately measure indoor radon levels using industry-recognized testing protocols.In addition to comprehensive home inspections, Arrow Home Inspections offers a wide range of specialty services designed to give buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners a more complete understanding of a property's condition.

Every home inspection includes complimentary thermal imaging at no additional charge. Infrared technology helps inspectors identify temperature differences that may indicate moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, HVAC performance concerns, or electrical issues that cannot always be observed with the naked eye.Arrow Home Inspections also partners with Noble Engineering to provide engineer-stamped foundation evaluations with a typical 48-hour turnaround. This service helps homeowners and buyers obtain structural engineering documentation more quickly while offering a cost-effective alternative to scheduling a traditional structural engineering inspection for qualifying situations.For clients purchasing homes with solar energy systems, Arrow Home Inspections provides independent solar inspections performed by Sprk Certified inspectors. These inspections help identify the solar panel manufacturer, estimate remaining service life, evaluate current energy production, document system condition, and determine whether the installed system appears appropriately sized for the property.

Reports are designed to be easy for homeowners to understand while providing clear explanations of laboratory findings, helping clients make informed decisions about indoor air quality and environmental conditions.

Additional Inspection Services Offered for colorado home buyers Many buyers choose to add specialized inspections to better understand the condition of the property. Arrow Home Inspections offers several ancillary services that can help you protect your investment. Radon Testing Radon is a naturally occuring radioactive gas that is common throughout Colorado. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can increase the risk of lung cancer, which is why radon testing is recommended during most real estate transactions. Sewer Scope Inspections Any sewer line (brand new or older) can develop cracks, collapses, or root intrusion that may not be visible during a standard home inspection. A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized camera to evaluate the condition of the sewer line between the home and the city connection. Mold Testing Moisture problems inside a home can lead to mold growth. Mold testing helps determine whether elevated mold spores are present in the indoor air. We can also perform swab sampling of suspected mold. Structural Engineer Foundation Evaluations When structural concerns are suspected, a more detailed foundation evaluation can provide measurements and documentation from a licensed structural engineer to better understand potential movement or structural issues.

Continuous Monitoring Licensed Radon Test Arrow Home Inspections proudly uses Corentium Airthings Pro radon testing equipment for every radon test we perform. One of the best continuous radon monitoring devices currently available, it provides accurate and reliable results over a 48-hour testing period. Colorado requires radon testing to be performed by licensed professionals, and continuous monitoring offers the most accurate representation of a home's average radon exposure. The EPA recommends radon mitigation when levels exceed 4.0 pCi/L. Sewer Scope Report Our sewer scope reports include detailed photos of any observed defects, as well as documentation to help identify the materials used in the sewer line's construction. Every sewer scope also includes a private video link, allowing you to view exactly what the inspector observed during the inspection. During the scope, we evaluate the line for proper flow and drainage, check for bellies, offsets, root intrusion, and blockages, and identify conditions that could lead to costly repairs in the future. Foundation Evaluation Arrow Home Inspections has partnered with Noble Engineering to provide stamped structural engineer reports with an industry-leading 48-hour turnaround time. These comprehensive evaluations include an elevation survey to identify settlement, heaving, or foundation movement, along with a detailed repair recommendation and estimated cost to address any identified concerns. This unique partnership allows our clients to receive fast, professional engineering documentation when foundation or structural issues require further evaluation. Mold Testing (Air and Swab) Our partnership with Sporecyte provides fast turnaround times on professional laboratory mold testing results. Easy-to-read reports clearly identify both air and surface (swab) sample findings, including sample locations and fungal species identification when present. This detailed analysis helps homeowners better understand indoor air quality concerns and provides remediation professionals with valuable information to develop an effective mitigation plan. What Makes a Good Home Inspection Report? Clear descriptions of defects High-resolution photos Easy-to-understand summaries Safety concerns clearly identified Recommendations for further evaluation Mobile-friendly format Same-day delivery Common Questions: What does a home inspection report include? A home inspection report usually includes general information about the home, explanations of any systems that were unable to be tested and why, and pictures of defects with recommendations for how to further investigate their cause and potential repairs. How long is a typical home inspection report? A home inspection report can be anywhere from 30-70 pages, typically. Longer does not always mean bad! We include a lot of informational content and photos, which take up space. We also have helpful home maintenance tips! Are photos included in the report? YES! We consider photos like a good party, the more the merrier! How quickly will I receive my report? Arrow Home Inspections promises same day turnaround so your deadlines can be met without delay on our end. Can I review the report with my inspector? Absolutely!

Buying a home with a VA loan? A termite inspection may be required to identify wood-destroying insects and document any visible damage before closing. Termite Inspections Termite Inspections are $100 when added to an inspection service, $150 when performed alone. A termite inspection, also known as a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection, evaluates a property for evidence of termites and other wood-destroying pests that can damage structural components. During the inspection, accessible areas of the home are examined for active infestations, previous damage, and conditions that may attract future pest activity. Termite inspections are especially important during real estate transactions because damage is often hidden behind walls, beneath flooring, or within crawl spaces. At Arrow Home Inspections, we provide professional WDI inspections to help buyers, sellers, and lenders identify potential concerns before closing. Most lenders require an NPMA-33 form to be submitted for loan approval, and our inspectors are professionally trained on completing these so your deadlines are met! 1 VA loans frequently require a termite inspection in El Paso County and many other Colorado counties Many Colorado VA transactions require a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection to verify the home is free of active infestations and significant pest-related damage. 2 The inspection covers more than termites A WDI inspection may identify evidence of carpenter ants, carpenter bees, wood-boring beetles, and other wood-destroying insects. 3 Hidden damage can be expensive Wood-destroying insects cause billions of dollars in property damage nationwide each year. 4 VA lenders often require documentation before closing If evidence of infestation or damage is discovered, treatment or repairs may be required before loan approval. We utilize the VA approved NPMA-33 form. SCHEDULE NOW Helpful Resource Want to see the official county-by-county requirements?

Independent solar panel inspections for homebuyers and homeowners. Verify system condition, identify defects, and understand your solar system before you buy or sell. Solar Inspection Solar inspections start at $250 A solar inspection evaluates the condition, safety, and performance of a residential solar energy system. Whether you're buying a home with solar panels, selling a property, or simply want to verify your system is operating as intended, a professional solar inspection can provide valuable insight into system health and expected performance. At Arrow Home Inspections, we partner with Sprk to provide specialized solar inspections performed by trained solar professionals. Our reports help homeowners understand system condition, identify potential concerns, and verify energy production data. 1 Colorado is one of the nation's leading solar markets Thousands of homes throughout the Front Range and Colorado Springs area utilize solar energy systems to offset utility costs. Receive an unbiased assessment of the solar system without relying solely on information provided by installers or sellers. 2 Solar systems can be complex Inverters, panels, optimizers, electrical connections, monitoring systems, and roof attachments all play important roles in system performance. Understand whether the system is producing energy as expected and identify factors that may affect efficiency. 3 Not all solar systems are owned Some homes have leased or financed systems, making it important for buyers to understand ownership, transfer requirements, and contract obligations. Buyers can gain confidence in the condition of the solar system before closing, while sellers can provide additional documentation to prospective purchasers. 4 Specialized Solar Expertise Through our partnership with Sprk, inspections are completed by professionals with dedicated solar industry knowledge and experience. Specialized evaluation helps provide additional information about system condition and performance beyond a traditional home inspection. SCHEDULE NOW Solar Panels Are an Investment. Make Sure They're Performing Like One. A common question we hear is: "Should I get a solar inspection before buying a house?" Know What You're Getting Before You Close. A solar system can represent tens of thousands of dollars in value. A professional solar inspection helps verify system condition, performance, and important ownership details before you take over the property.

Buying a For Sale By Owner home? Learn how inspections, optional testing, and smart planning can help you purchase with confidence. Buying a Home Without an Agent? Here's How to Make Sure You Know Exactly What You're Getting. Buying a home without a real estate agent puts you in the driver's seat. No commission absorbed into the purchase price. No one filtering information between you and the seller. Just a direct transaction between two people. But there's one thing an agent would normally make sure you don't skip: the home inspection. Without someone in your corner reminding you to do this - and explaining what to do with the results - it's easy for the inspection step to feel confusing or optional. It's neither. Arrow Home Inspections works directly with FSBO buyers throughout Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region. You don't need an agent to hire us. You don't need an agent to understand the report. And you don't need anyone's permission to protect yourself before you sign. You Don't Need an Agent to Get a Home Inspection This surprises some first-time FSBO buyers. In a traditional sale, the buyer's agent usually coordinates the inspection - schedules it, attends it, and walks you through the report afterward. Without an agent, you're responsible for that coordination. But the process itself is simple: Make sure your purchase agreement includes an inspection contingency and specifies the inspection period (typically 7–14 days in Colorado). Contact Arrow Home Inspections directly to schedule. You'll need the property address and access to the home. Attend the inspection. You'll walk through the home with the inspector and have the opportunity to ask questions in real time. Receive your written inspection report within 24 hours and review it carefully. Use the findings to inform your next steps - whether that's proceeding as planned, requesting repairs, negotiating on price, or walking away within your contingency period. That's the whole process. Arrow Home Inspections will be with you for steps two through four - and we write our reports to be understood by real people, not just construction professionals. See Sample Report Check Prices Service Areas Schedule Now More FSBO Info Understanding Your Inspection Report We write our inspection reports to be clear, organized, and actionable — not to overwhelm you with jargon. Here's how to approach the report when you receive it: A pre-listing inspection levels the playing field: Not every finding is a problem Inspection reports for a typical home will include dozens of observations. Some are significant like safety concerns, major system failures, evidence of water intrusion. Others are routine maintenance notes. Read the report with that distinction in mind. Your inspector is there to document what they find, not to tell you whether to buy the home - that's your decision. Focus on safety issues and major systems first Look first at anything flagged as a safety concern or as requiring immediate attention. Then look at the condition of the five major systems: roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. These are the expensive ones - and the ones that commonly drive renegotiations or deal cancellations. Use the report as a negotiating tool - not a demand list You can share the inspection report with the seller and request repairs, a price adjustment, or a credit at closng. In a FSBO transaction, you're doing this directly with the seller - no agents filtering the conversation. Keep it factual, keep it focused on the significant findings, and reference the inspector's documentation. The report is an objective third-party assessment. That's your strongest tool. Know your contingency deadline Your purchase agreement should include an inspection contingency period - typically 7 to 14 days in Colorado. If the findings are serious enough that you want to walk away, you must do so in writing before that deadline expires. Don't let the deadline pass while you're still deliberating. Important: Arrow Home Inspections does not provide legal or real estate advice. For guidance on how to use inspection findings in your purchase negotiations or how to exercise an inspection contingency, please consult a Colorado real estate attorney. Add-On Services That Matter More When You're Buying Without an Agent Radon Sewer Scopes Mold Testing Termite Inspections Solar Inspection Foundation Evaluation Thermal Inspection An agent who has done dozens of transactions knows which add-ons are worth it in your specific situation. Without that experience in your corner, here's our honest guidance for Colorado FSBO buyers: Radon testing - do not skip this in Colorado Springs . Colorado has some of the highest natural radon concentrations in the country, and the Pikes Peak region is a high-radon zone. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that accumulates in homes, particularly in basements and lower levels, and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Testing takes 48 hours and costs a fraction of what mitigation costs after you own the home. Sewer scope - essential for homes over 20 years old. A standard inspection does not include the sewer line running from the house to the municipal connection. In older Colorado Springs neighborhoods, cast iron and clay sewer pipes are common and they deteriorate, crack, and get invaded by tree roots. A sewer scope runs a camera through the line and tells you exactly what's in there. Sewer line replacement can cost $5,000–$15,000 or more. A sewer scope costs a fraction of that. Mold testing - especially in homes with visible moisture history. If the inspection reveals signs of past moisture - water staining, efflorescence on foundation walls, musty odors, or previous repairs to plumbing - mold testing gives you a baseline air quality reading and can identify hidden growth that the naked eye can't see. Termite / WDO inspection - required if you're using a VA loan. If you're a veteran using VA financing, a Wood Destroying Organism inspection is not optional - it's required by the lender. Even if you're not using a VA loan, a WDO inspection is worth considering for older homes or properties with significant wood landscaping features. Frequently Asked Questions - FSBO Buyers Edition Do I need a home inspection when buying a home without an agent in Colorado? You are not legally required to get a home inspection, but it is one of the most important steps in any home purchase - and it matters even more when you're buying without an agent. A home inspection is the primary tool you have to understand the condition of the property before you close. Skipping it means taking on unknown risk. How do I schedule a home inspection without a real estate agent? Contact a certified home inspector directly - no agent required. You'll need to provide the property address, confirm access to the home with the seller, and agree on a date during your inspection contingency period. Arrow Home Inspections can be booked online or by phone at (719) 687-1270 . Who pays for the home inspection in a FSBO transaction? In almost all cases, the buyer pays for their own home inspection. The inspection is ordered by and for the buyer's benefit - it's one of the few costs in a home purchase that you should never ask the seller to cover, because it would create a conflict of interest with the inspector's objectivity. Should I attend the home inspection when buying FSBO? Yes - absolutely. Attending the inspection is one of the most valuable things you can do as a buyer, especially without an agent. You'll walk through the home with the inspector, see findings in person, and have the opportunity to ask questions in real time. The written report is thorough, but nothing replaces seeing it yourself. Read more about the process here: What if the inspection finds serious problems? Serious findings give you options, but you need to act within your inspection contingency period. You can request that the seller make repairs, negotiate a price reduction or credit at closing, or choose to withdraw from the purchase. If you are unsure how to handle serious findings in a FSBO transaction, consulting a Colorado real estate attorney before your contingency deadline is a smart move. Is a home inspection the same as an appraisal? No. A home inspection evaluates the physical condition of the property - what works, what doesn't, and what needs attention. An appraisal determines the market value of the property for lending purposes. They are separate processes conducted by different professionals. If you're financing the purchase, your lender will require an appraisal. The home inspection is separate and is arranged by the buyer. Home Buyer Resources

Certified mold testing in Colorado Springs including air quality testing and swab. Only $250 per test, analyzed by accredited lab with fast turnaround and easy to read reports. Serving El Paso and Teller Counties since 2018. Mold Testing in Colorado Springs, CO Mold testing is done in two different parts, as air quality testing and swab tests. Each are $250. Consult with your inspector on site if both are necessary. What Is Mold Testing? Mold testing helps identify the presence of mold spores and potential fungal growth within a home. While some mold may be visible, elevated airborne mold spore levels and hidden mold growth often require specialized testing to detect. Professional mold testing can help homeowners, buyers, and sellers better understand indoor air quality concerns and determine whether additional evaluation or remediation may be needed. At Arrow Home Inspections, we offer both air sampling and surface swab testing to provide a more complete picture of potential mold issues. Why Choose Professional Mold Testing? 1 Air Sampling Detects What You Can't See Air samples measure airborne mold spore concentrations and can help identify hidden mold growth affecting indoor air quality. 2 Surface Swab Testing Identifies Specific Growth Swab samples collected from suspect areas can determine the type of mold present on visible surfaces. 3 Fast Laboratory Results We partner with Sporecyte, a nationally recognized mold analysis laboratory known for accurate reporting and rapid turnaround times. 4 Helpful for Real Estate Transactions Mold testing can provide buyers and sellers with valuable information when concerns arise regarding water intrusion, staining, odors, or visible microbial growth. Colorado Mold Facts Every Homeowner Should Know Mold can grow in Colorado's dry climate. Leaks, condensation, roof issues, plumbing failures, and poorly ventilated bathrooms can create conditions for mold growth even in low-humidity regions. Visible mold is not always the full story. Elevated airborne mold spore levels can exist without obvious visible growth, making air sampling an important investigative tool. Past water damage may leave hidden concerns. Homes with previous leaks, flooding, or moisture intrusion may benefit from mold testing to evaluate affected areas. Professional laboratory analysis provides objective results. Testing through an accredited laboratory helps identify mold types and concentrations rather than relying on visual observations alone. SCHEDULE NOW

You're welcome (encouraged, actually) to attend the inspection, walk the property with us, and ask questions. Most inspections take 2–4 hours, and your full report arrives the same day. Home Buyer Resources Want to read more? Ready to schedule? Schedule Now Why Colorado Springs Homes Need a Local Inspector Colorado Springs housing spans 150 years of construction across radically different terrain, soil, and weather exposure. A checklist inspector misses what a local one catches: Expansive soils and foundation movement. Much of the Pikes Peak region sits on expansive clay soils that swell and shrink with moisture, causing foundation cracking and settling. We evaluate foundations with this specific risk in mind, and when warranted we can arrange a licensed structural engineer evaluation. Hail and wind roof damage. Colorado Springs sits in one of the most hail-prone corridors in America. We inspect roofs for hail bruising, wind-lifted shingles, and flashing failures - including drone roof inspections where access is limited. Radon. El Paso County is in the EPA's highest-risk radon zone, and elevated levels are common throughout the area. We're licensed radon professionals offering 48-hour continuous electronic monitoring. Aging sewer lines. Older neighborhoods with mature trees frequently have root intrusion, bellies, or deteriorating lines. A sewer scope adds a camera evaluation of the line from house to city tap. New-construction defects. Even brand-new homes in fast-growing areas routinely have grading, roofing, and finish issues. Builder speed is not the same as builder quality - a third-party inspection before closing (and again before your 1-year warranty expires) protects you. What services do I need? 📍Neighborhoods We Inspect Daily We inspect throughout every part of Colorado Springs, and different areas come with different watch-items: Briargate, Stetson Hills, & Powers Corridor - 1980s–2000s homes: hail-cycled roofs, original furnaces and water heaters reaching end of life. Banning Lewis Ranch & new east-side development - new construction and warranty inspections; grading and drainage issues are common finds. Old Colorado City, Old North End & downtown - historic homes: older wiring, galvanized or clay plumbing, foundation age, additions of varying quality. Rockrimmon, Mountain Shadows & west side - hillside lots: drainage, retaining walls, wildfire-zone considerations Broadmoor & Southwest - larger custom homes with multiple systems (we quote these accurately because our pricing accounts for extra panels, furnaces, and water heaters). Security-Widefield , Fountain, Cimarron Hills & Stratmoor - 1950s–70s housing stock: original electrical panels, sewer lines, and insulation upgrades worth verifying Plus Manitou Springs, Black Forest, and North Gate/Monument corridor Home Buyer Resources Want to read more? Ready to schedule? Schedule Now Frequently Asked Questions About Home Inspections in Colorado Springs How much does a home inspection cost in Colorado Springs? Most home inspections in Colorado Springs with Arrow start between $400 and $500, with the final price depending on the home's size and features — for example, multiple furnaces, electrical panels, or water heaters add cost. Unlike most companies, we publish full pricing on our Services & Prices page so you can see your cost before scheduling. Add-on services like radon testing, sewer scopes, and mold testing are priced individually. Are home inspections required in Colorado? No - home inspections are not legally required in Colorado. But your purchase contract's inspection objection deadline is your main opportunity to renegotiate or walk away based on the home's condition, which is why nearly all buyers (and their agents) treat the inspection as essential. How long does a home inspection take, and when do I get the report? Most inspections take 2–4 hours depending on the home's size and condition. Your complete report - with photos, videos, and recommended next steps - is delivered the same day. Home Buyer Resources Want to read more? Ready to schedule? Schedule Now What are the most common problems found in Colorado Springs homes? The issues we find most often are foundation movement from expansive soils, hail-damaged roofs, elevated radon levels, aging or root-damaged sewer lines, and - especially in newer homes - grading and drainage defects. Older neighborhoods add original electrical panels and plumbing to the list. Should I get a radon test with my home inspection? Yes. El Paso County is in the EPA's highest radon risk zone, and elevated levels are found in homes of every age and price range here. We offer licensed 48-hour continuous electronic radon monitoring as an add-on to any inspection. Should I be at the inspection? We encourage it. Walking the home with your inspector lets you see findings firsthand and ask questions in real time. If you can't attend, your same-day report and a phone review with your inspector will cover everything. Do you inspect new construction homes? Yes - new construction (pre-drywall and final), builder warranty inspections before your 1-year warranty expires, and phase inspections. New homes in Colorado Springs routinely have defects; an independent inspection is your only unbiased evaluation. Do you work with sellers too? Yes. A pre-listing inspection identifies issues before buyers do, letting you repair or price accordingly and avoid renegotiation surprises under deadline pressure.

InterNACHI-certified home inspectors serving Falcon & Peyton, CO. Run by a former electrician. Same-day reports w/ photos & video. Radon licensed. Book today. Home Inspections in Falcon/Peyton, CO Falcon and Peyton are two of the fastest-growing communities in El Paso County - which means you'll find brand-new production homes on quarter-acre lots sitting a few miles from older rural properties on well and septic. Both come with their own risks, and neither is something you want to discover after closing. Arrow Home Inspections is based right here in El Paso County. We're InterNACHI-certified, radon-licensed with the State of Colorado, and our lead inspector spent years as a licensed electrician before this - so when we're in your attic or electrical panel, we're not reading off a checklist, we're evaluating it the way a tradesperson would. You'll get a same-day report with clear photos and video walkthroughs of anything we flag, so you're not stuck decoding vague inspector-speak the night before your objection deadline. What We Actually Find in Falcon & Peyton Homes New Construction Defects Falcon's housing stock skews new. Most of what we inspect is production-built from the 1990s through today, with a mix of two-story homes with basements near town and larger-lot ranch builds as you head toward Peyton. New doesn't mean problem-free. We regularly find missed nail plates, improperly flashed penetrations, HVAC systems that were never balanced, and grading that slopes toward the foundation instead of away from it - all things a municipal final inspection doesn't catch because it's checking code minimums, not long-term performance. Radon (This One's Not Optional Here) Falcon and Peyton sit in EPA Radon Zone 1 which is the agency's highest-potential category for radon nationwide. It's not a maybe. The geology here - sediment eroded off the Front Range, which carries uranium-bearing granite from the Pikes Peak batholith - means radon gas is a near-constant presence in the soil under these homes. Here's the counterintuitive part: newer, tightly-sealed homes can actually test higher than older, draftier ones nearby, because a tight envelope holds soil gas in rather than letting it dissipate. A certificate of occupancy on a brand-new build tells you nothing about radon levels. We're state radon-licensed and can test as part of your inspection. Septic Systems A meaningful share of Peyton properties - and the more rural pockets around Falcon - are on septic rather than municipal sewer. A septic system that's failing doesn't always show obvious symptoms during a walkthrough, and replacement costs run well into five figures. If your property isn't on municipal sewer, this needs to be evaluated separately from the general inspection. Well Water Same story with water: many properties out here rely on private wells instead of a municipal water utility. Well systems need to be evaluated for both mechanical reliability (pump, pressure tank, flow rate) and water quality - two separate things that both matter for a property you're about to be financially responsible for. Wind Exposure & Roof Wear The open plains around Falcon and Peyton see meaningfully higher sustained wind than in-town Colorado Springs properties. We see accelerated shingle wear, lifted flashing, and wind-driven granule loss more often out here - issues that are easy to miss from the ground and are exactly why we document roofs with photos and, where useful, drone imagery. Soil Movement & Foundations Eastern El Paso County has moderately expansive soil - soil that can swell and shrink measurably depending on moisture content, putting real stress on foundations over time. It's not as extreme as the expansive soils in Colorado's northeastern counties, but it's a real factor here, and we watch for the early warning signs: hairline foundation cracks, doors and windows that have started to stick, drainage that isn't carrying water away from the slab. Why This Matters for your Transaction Whether you're buying, selling, or insuring a property in Falcon or Peyton, an inspection here isn't a formality - it's how you catch a $15,000 septic problem or a radon issue before it's your problem. Buyers use our report to negotiate repairs or price; sellers use a pre-listing inspection to avoid surprises mid-contract; and several insurance carriers now require a recent inspection or four-point report before binding a policy on older properties. Recommended Add-On Services for this Area: Radon Testing - strongly recommended for every property in this Zone 1 area, new or older Sewer Scope Inspection - essential if the property isn't on municipal water, also essential if it is (due to incredibly high repair costs) Water Quality Testing - for any property on a private well Foundation Evaluations - recommended if you're seeing any cracking, sticking doors/windows, or the home is pre-1990's Solar Inspections - increasingly common on newer Falcon builds with rooftop solar already installed 📍 Areas We Serve Near Falcon & Peyton Calhan, Ellicott, Meridian Ranch, Yoder, Flagler Home Buyer Resources Want to read more? Ready to schedule? Schedule Now Frequently Asked Questions Is radon testing actually necessary for a home in Falcon or Peyton? Yes - Falcon and Peyton are in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest-risk category nationally, due to uranium-bearing granite sediment from the Pikes Peak region underlying the area. Newer, tightly-sealed homes can test just as high (or higher) than older ones. We recommend radon testing on every inspection here, not just older properties. Do I need a septic inspection if I'm buying in Peyton? If the property isn't connected to municipal sewer - common in Peyton and rural Falcon - yes. Septic systems can fail without obvious surface symptoms, and replacement can cost $15,000 or more. A septic evaluation should be a separate line item alongside your general inspection. Is a new-construction home in Falcon safe to skip an inspection on? No. Falcon has a high volume of new production builds, and we regularly find issues a municipal final inspection doesn't catch like missed flashing, unbalanced HVAC systems, improper grading. A certificate of occupancy confirms code compliance, not long-term performance, and it says nothing about radon levels. What's the biggest issue you find in older Falcon and Peyton homes? Foundation stress from moderately expansive soil in eastern El Paso County is the one we watch closest on older properties, along with wind-driven roof wear from the area's higher sustained winds. Both are things we specifically document with photos in every report. Should I get a well water test if the home has a private well? Yes. A private well needs to be evaluated for two separate things: mechanical reliability (pump, pressure tank, flow rate) and water quality (bacteria, nitrates, mineral content). Neither is covered by a standard home inspection, so it should be added on if the property isn't on municipal water. How fast will I get my inspection report for a Falcon or Peyton property? Same day. You'll get a full report with photos and video documentation of anything we flag, so you can move on repair negotiations or objection deadlines without waiting.

Our foundation evaluations combine a professional structural engineer's analysis with detailed elevation plots, unbiased repair recommendations, and cost-to-cure estimates for fully informed decisions. Foundation Evaluations Full foundation evaluations with an estimated repair plan and cost to cure are $500, HUD foundation certifications are $375. Both are engineer stamped reports! A foundation evaluation measures the levelness and performance of a home's foundation to help determine whether significant movement or settlement may be present. Foundation concerns are common throughout Colorado due to expansive soils, seasonal moisture changes, and natural settlement over time. At Arrow Home Inspections, we collect detailed elevation measurements using a precision ZipLevel® system and submit the data to Noble Engineering for professional review. When required, Noble Engineering provides a stamped engineering report, helping homeowners, buyers, sellers, and lenders obtain the documentation they need quickly and affordably. Colorado Foundation Facts Every Homeowner Should Know Colorado's expansive soils can place significant stress on foundations. Changes in moisture content can cause soils to expand and contract, contributing to movement over time. Not all foundation cracks indicate structural failure. Professional measurements and engineering review help determine whether movement is within acceptable tolerances. Having a baseline report for new construction can assist you when filing claims to satisfy your 10 year foundation warranty. These can be used to show movement or settlement and enable repair estimates with cost-to-cure repair plans included. Early evaluation can help prevent costly surprises. Identifying foundation concerns before listing or purchasing a property allows buyers and sellers to make informed decisions. Why Choose Our Foundation Evaluation Service? 1 Engineer-Reviewed Results Elevation measurements are collected by Arrow Home Inspections and professionally analyzed by Noble Engineering, a licensed engineering firm. 2 Stamped Engineering Reports Available When required for lending, manufactured homes, or real estate transactions, Noble Engineering can provide engineer-stamped documentation. This includes foundation certification for manufactured homes which are necessary for FHA, VA, USDA, and HUD loan types. 3 48-Hour Turnaround Time Most reports are completed within approximately 48 hours, helping keep real estate transactions moving forward. 4 Lower Cost Than Traditional Site Visits Our process provides a cost-effective alternative to scheduling an engineer to travel to the property and collect measurements directly.

Certified home inspections in Pueblo, Pueblo West, & Canon City. Experienced with older housing stock, radon testing, & sewer scopes. Same-day reports, transparent pricing, 750+ five-star Google reviews. Home Inspections in Pueblo & Cañon City, CO Arrow Home Inspections serves Pueblo, Pueblo West, and Cañon City with certified home inspections, same-day reports, and transparent pricing starting at $400 - 500. Pueblo's housing is unlike anywhere else on the Front Range: brick homes from the steel-era early 1900s, mid-century neighborhoods, and fast-growing Pueblo West acreage all in one market. Inspecting a 1915 Bessemer four-square and a 2022 Pueblo West build are different jobs - we do both regularly, and since 2018 we've backed every report with the experience of 750+ five-star Google reviews. Our team includes a prior licensed electrician and a prior HVAC technician: backgrounds that earn their keep in a market where century-old wiring and evaporative cooling systems are everyday finds. What services do I need? What's Included in Every Inspection Roof, electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing, foundation and structure, attic and crawlspace, insulation, and interior and exterior conditions - documented with photos and video in a same-day report. Most inspections take 2–4 hours. You're welcome to attend and ask questions throughout. What We Look for in Pueblo-Area Homes Century-old housing stock. Pueblo's historic neighborhoods: Bessemer, Mesa Junction, the Northside, East Side are all full of solid brick homes built for steelworker families a hundred years ago. Solid doesn't mean problem-free: knob-and-tube or early wiring, panels with known failure histories, galvanized supply lines, original clay sewer laterals under mature trees, plaster movement, and generations of DIY additions are the recurring finds. Old homes reward inspectors who've seen hundreds of them; ours have. Sewer scopes are near-mandatory here. Of every add-on we offer, this is the one we recommend most strongly for older Pueblo homes. Original clay lines with 80 -100 years of root exposure are a five-figure surprise waiting to happen - and a camera scope during your inspection period turns that surprise into a negotiating item instead. Evaporative ("swamp") coolers. Pueblo's hot, dry summers make evaporative cooling common in a way it isn't further north. We evaluate cooler condition, winterization, roof mounting and penetrations, and the water connections that quietly cause damage when neglected. Pueblo West acreage. Larger lots, newer builds, outbuildings, and, on some properties, private wells and septic systems. New construction out here carries the same grading, drainage, and finish defects we find everywhere fast growth happens; we offer new-build and 11-month warranty inspections. Radon, soils, and hail - southern edition. Pueblo County sits in the EPA's highest radon risk zone like the rest of the Front Range; we're licensed radon professionals with 48-hour continuous monitoring. Expansive soils and hail-cycled roofs round out the usual suspects. VA buyers: Pueblo County is a termite-inspection county. Under the VA's mid-2025 policy update, VA purchase loans and cash-out refinances in most Colorado counties - including Pueblo and Fremont - require a wood-destroying insect inspection on the NPMA-33 form before the Notice of Value can be issued. We perform VA termite inspections and can bundle them with your home inspection in one visit. → Full guide: VA Termite Requirements in Colorado Investor and rental purchases. Pueblo's price point draws first-time buyers and investors alike. For investors, our report doubles as a capital-expenditure plan: roof, furnace, water heater, and sewer condition with remaining-life context, so your rehab budget is built on inspection findings rather than guesses.

Learn how a builder warranty inspection helps identify defects, settlement issues, and warranty-covered repairs before your new home's builder warranty expires. Builder Warranty Inspections A builder warranty inspection, also known as an 11-month inspection, is performed before a new home's one-year builder warranty expires. This inspection helps identify construction defects, settlement concerns, and issues with major systems that may have developed after the home was occupied. By documenting these findings before the warranty period ends, homeowners can request repairs from the builder and address potential problems before they become costly out-of-pocket expenses.

Read More Warranty Inspection Tips See a Sample Report 01 Don't Wait Until the Last Minute Schedule your builder warranty inspection at least 30 days before your one-year warranty expires. Most clients prefer 30-60 days. This gives you time to review the report, submit repair requests, and coordinate with the builder before deadlines pass. 02 Document Cosmetic Changes Pay attention to drywall cracks, nail pops, uneven flooring, and doors that no longer close properly. While some settlement is normal, these issues can also indicate underlying movement that should be evaluated before the warranty period ends. 03 Test Every System in the Home Operate all plumbing fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, and electrical components before your inspection. Identifying concerns early helps ensure defects are documented while they may still be covered by the builder. Mention any concerns to your inspector while they are on site! 04 Inspect the Exterior Carefully Walk around the property and look for grading issues, cracks in concrete, damaged siding, or drainage concerns. Water management problems can become more serious over time and are much easier to address while warranty coverage is still in place. 05 Don't Ignore the Attic and Roof Many homeowners never inspect these areas after moving in. Roof defects, missing insulation, ventilation concerns, and signs of leaks can often be identified during a professional builder warranty inspection. 06 Create a Repair List for Your Builder Keep a running list of any concerns you've noticed during your first year of ownership. Combining your observations with a professional inspection report helps ensure nothing is overlooked when requesting warranty repairs. SCHEDULE NOW
