Colorado Springs is one of Colorado’s most active real estate markets, drawing homebuyers and investors to neighborhoods ranging from established areas like Old Colorado City and the Broadmoor to rapidly developing communities in Briargate and Northgate. With homes spanning decades of construction, from mid-century ranches to newer production builds, each property carries its own mix of aging systems, local soil conditions, and climate-driven risks. El Paso County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1, meaning elevated radon levels are a serious and common concern that every buyer should address before closing. HomeTeam of Colorado Springs delivers team-based inspections that cover every major system, helping buyers, sellers, and real estate agents make confident, informed decisions.

The Colorado Front Range sees some of the most frequent hail activity in the country, and inspectors evaluate shingles, flashings, gutters, and skylights for impact damage that may not be visible from the ground.
El Paso County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1 — the highest-risk classification — and inspectors identify potential entry points at foundation cracks, sump pits, and crawl space penetrations while radon testing confirms actual levels.
Clay and caliche soils beneath many Colorado Springs neighborhoods heave and shrink with moisture changes, and inspectors look for stair-step cracks in masonry, sloping floors, and sticking doors that signal active foundation movement.
Homes built in the 1960s through 1990s often have original or improperly sized furnaces and heat exchangers; inspectors check for cracked heat exchangers, improper venting, and efficiency issues that matter in Colorado's cold winters.
Heavy snowmelt, clay drainage, and freeze-thaw pressure cycles push water into crawl spaces and basement walls; inspectors use moisture meters and visual inspection to identify staining, efflorescence, and active seepage.
Mid-century neighborhoods in Colorado Springs still have homes with aluminum branch wiring, older Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, and undersized service entrances that inspectors flag for safety evaluation.
Colorado Springs homes face a distinct set of challenges shaped by high-altitude weather extremes, expansive soils, and construction practices that span multiple decades. HomeTeam’s team-based inspection approach means these local risk factors get the focused attention they deserve on every visit.
*Pricing shown reflects the starting point for the services listed. Final pricing may vary based on the square footage, age, and condition of the home.
Colorado's dramatic temperature swings and long heating season make infrared cameras especially valuable for detecting insulation gaps, hidden air infiltration around windows and doors, and moisture behind walls caused by freeze-thaw cycles — issues that are invisible to the naked eye but costly to repair.
With El Paso County classified in EPA Radon Zone 1, continuous electronic monitors provide accurate short-term radon readings that give buyers and sellers the clear, data-driven information they need to make confident decisions at closing.
Colorado Springs' wide seasonal humidity range, snowmelt pressures, and drainage challenges from expansive clay soils make precision moisture detection essential for identifying hidden water intrusion in basements, crawl spaces, and along foundation walls before it becomes a major repair.

Aging in Place Home Modifications: Room by Room The aging-in-place home modifications that matter most are grab bars and non-slip surfaces in the bathroom, better lighting in hallways, and a clear, step-free path through the home- changes that address where falls actually happen.

Jason Adams, owner of HomeTeam Inspection Service, discusses why home inspections are so important for buyers. In an interview with Jason Adams, owner of HomeTeam Inspection Services of Northeast Denver, shared why every home buyer should be getting a home inspection.
A HomeTeam inspection in Colorado Springs covers all accessible major systems and components of the property, including the roof, foundation, exterior, attic, insulation, electrical panel and wiring, plumbing supply and drain lines, HVAC systems, and interior spaces. Inspectors document findings with photos and plain-language explanations in a same-day digital report. Additional services like radon testing, mold inspection, and sewer scoping can be added to any inspection package and are strongly recommended given Colorado Springs’ local risk factors.
Yes — El Paso County is classified as EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest-risk category, meaning elevated radon levels are common throughout the area. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps through soil and enters homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and other openings. Because it is odorless and invisible, testing is the only way to know if a home has elevated levels. The EPA recommends action when radon exceeds 4 pCi/L, and testing before purchase gives buyers the information they need to negotiate mitigation or move forward confidently.
Inspectors in Colorado Springs regularly identify hail-damaged roofing from frequent Front Range storms, radon gas intrusion through foundation penetrations, foundation cracking and movement caused by expansive clay and caliche soils, aging HVAC systems in homes built before 1990, and moisture intrusion in basements and crawl spaces during snowmelt season. Older neighborhoods in areas like Ivywild and Old Colorado City may also have outdated electrical panels or galvanized plumbing that have reached the end of their service life. Identifying these issues before closing gives buyers the leverage to negotiate repairs or plan for future maintenance
Most home inspections in Colorado Springs take between one and three hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. HomeTeam’s team approach — with multiple licensed inspectors working simultaneously across different areas of the home — significantly reduces the time required compared to a single-inspector inspection. Larger homes, older properties, or those with additional services like radon testing or sewer scoping may take longer, but HomeTeam works to complete every inspection efficiently without cutting corners.
Sellers benefit most from scheduling a pre-listing inspection before the property goes on the market, ideally two to four weeks before listing. This window allows time to address any issues discovered — or to disclose them upfront and price the home accordingly — which reduces the likelihood of surprises during the buyer’s inspection that could delay or derail the transaction. In Colorado Springs’ active real estate market, a clean or pre-disclosed inspection report can be a meaningful competitive advantage for sellers.
HomeTeam inspectors evaluate the physical condition of the home’s structure and systems, which includes assessing exterior materials, roofing, decking, and ventilation openings that affect a home’s defensibility against ember exposure — a relevant concern in Colorado Springs neighborhoods near open space and wildland areas. For a formal wildfire risk assessment or ember-resistance evaluation, homeowners may also want to consult their local fire department or a certified wildfire mitigation specialist. HomeTeam’s inspection provides the baseline condition data that informs those decisions.
