Our Home Inspection Services
Residential Home Inspection
A residential home inspection provides a comprehensive evaluation of a property's visible and accessible systems. This inspection is typically performed during a real estate transaction but can also be useful for homeowners wanting to assess the condition of their property.
​
During the inspection we evaluate the roof, attic, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, structure, and interior components. The inspection helps buyers understand the current condition of the home and identify potential repairs before closing.
Our detailed digital reports include photos and clear explanations so you can make informed decisions about your investment.​
Starting Price: $400
Sewer Scope Inspection
A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized camera to inspect the home's sewer line from the house to the municipal connection.
​
Many homes—especially older properties—can develop hidden sewer problems such as:
​
-
Root intrusion
-
Pipe collapse
-
Cracked sewer lines
-
Blockages or buildup
Repairing a damaged sewer line can cost thousands of dollars, which is why many homebuyers choose to add a sewer scope inspection before purchasing a property.
​
Starting Price: $150
Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate inside homes. Long-term exposure to high radon levels is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
​
A professional radon test measures radon levels inside the home over a specific period of time to determine if mitigation is necessary. Radon measurement professionals in Colorado have to be licensed to perform this test, and Arrow Home Inspections has many licensed professionals on staff!
​
Radon testing is strongly recommended for homes in Colorado due to naturally elevated radon levels found in many areas.
Starting Price: $150
Mold Testing
Mold can develop in areas with excessive moisture, poor ventilation, or water damage.
Mold testing helps identify potential contamination inside a home and determine whether professional remediation may be required.
​
Testing can include air sampling and surface analysis to detect mold spores that are not visible during a standard inspection. If a prior water loss is known or suspected, it's best to perform the air quality sampling testi. If a known area or substance is suspected to be mold, a swab test is best.
​
Arrow Home Inspections uses a professioinal and scientifically accurate lab with FAST turnaround times to keep you within your contract deadlines!
​
​Starting at: $250
Builder Warranty Inspection
(11-Month Inspection)
Many new homes include a one-year builder warranty that covers construction defects.
An 11-month warranty inspection allows homeowners to identify issues before the builder's warranty expires.
Common problems identified during these inspections include:
-
Drywall cracks
-
Foundation settlement issues
-
Roof defects
-
Plumbing leaks
-
HVAC performance problems
Completing this inspection before the 12-month warranty deadline allows homeowners to request repairs from the builder before coverage ends.

Mold FAQ
​
Q: How do you test for mold?
A: We offer two primary methods: Air Sampling and Swab Sampling. Air sampling identifies airborne spores that are invisible to the naked eye, while swab sampling is used to confirm the type of mold on a specific, visible surface.
​
Q: Where do the samples go?
A: All samples collected by Arrow Home Inspections are sent to an accredited, third-party laboratory for professional analysis. This ensures an unbiased, scientific report on the air quality or surface condition of the home.
​
Q: How long does it take to get mold results?
A: Once the samples reach the lab, results are typically available within 24 to 48 business hours. We prioritize a fast turnaround so that your real estate transaction or remediation plan isn't delayed.
​
Q: Do you perform mold remediation (cleanup)?
A: No. To maintain a high ethical standard and avoid any conflict of interest, Arrow Home Inspections provides testing and consulting only. We do not perform remediation, ensuring our findings are 100% objective and focused solely on your safety.
​
Q: When should I consider a mold test?
A: We recommend testing if there is a history of water damage, a musty odor, visible staining, or if any occupants have unexplained respiratory issues or allergies. It is a vital step for peace of mind during a home purchase.
Foudation Evaluation (Engineer-Backed Reports)
Foundation issues can be one of the most expensive structural problems a home can have. If cracks, settlement, or structural movement are observed during a home inspection, a foundation evaluation can help determine the severity of the issue and whether repairs are necessary.
At Arrow Home Inspections, we partner with Noble Engineering to provide professional engineer-reviewed foundation evaluations with a fast 48-hour turnaround time.
During the evaluation, the foundation and structural components are assessed for signs of:
​
-
Settlement or structural movement
-
Horizontal or vertical foundation cracks
-
Improper grading or drainage near the foundation
-
Structural stress affecting walls or floors
-
Evidence of prior foundation repairs
Noble Engineering provides a licensed structural engineer report that can be used for real estate negotiations, contractor repair plans, or lender documentation.These white-label engineering reports are commonly requested during real estate transactions when structural concerns are identified.Fast engineer-backed documentation can help prevent delays during closing while ensuring buyers fully understand the condition of the home's foundation.

Water Quality Testing
Homes that rely on private wells often require water quality testing during the home buying process, especially for VA and FHA loans. Lenders may require documentation proving that the water supply meets safety standards before approving financing.
Our water quality testing service analyzes well water samples for common contaminants including:
-
E. coli bacteria
-
Total coliform bacteria
-
Nitrates
-
Nitrites
-
Lead
These contaminants can indicate potential health risks or problems with the well system, septic system, or surrounding groundwater.Samples are collected according to proper testing protocols and submitted to a certified laboratory for analysis.
Once testing is complete, homeowners and buyers receive a clear report showing whether the water meets recommended safety standards.Water quality testing is an important step for protecting your family's health and ensuring compliance with lender requirements for properties using private wells.​

​
Termite Inspections
A termite inspection, also called a Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection, checks for evidence of termites and other pests that can damage the structural components of a home.
​
These inspections are now required for most VA loan transactions and are commonly requested during real estate purchases to ensure the property is free of active infestations.
​
During the inspection, we look for signs of:
​
-
Active termite activity
-
Wood damage caused by termites or other insects
-
Mud tubes or termite entry points
-
Conditions that could attract wood-destroying pests
If termites or other wood-destroying organisms are found, the inspection report helps buyers and lenders determine whether treatment or repairs are needed before closing. We utilize the lender-required NPMA-33 form to report our findings.
​
A termite inspection provides peace of mind by ensuring the home's structure has not been undermined by wood destroying organisms. This service can be provided in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas as an addition to your home inspection or performed as a stand alone service.
