What is a Home Inspection, Radon Test, and Sewer Scope?

Home Inspection

A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a residential property which is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components.  Once the inspection is completed an inspection report is created, documenting the material defects that were present at the time of the inspection.  Iron Phoenix Inspections performs all inspections according to the Internachi Standards of Practice, and these standards are provided to all clients with each inspection report.

What Is Radon And Why Do I Need A Radon Test?

Radon is a radioactive gas that is a byproduct of uranium. As radon decays it releases decay products that can be damaging to the lungs if breathed in. When purchasing a home a radon measurement test should be performed to determine the level of radon consistently present. The EPA actionable level of radon gas is 4.0 pCi/L. If the level tested is at or above this level a radon mitigation system may be required to ensure safe indoor air quality. Colorado is an area of high indoor radon level potential. The Denver Metro Area, including but not limited to, Aurora, Denver, Littleton, Parker, Commerce City, Westminster are all areas covered for radon testing by Iron Phoenix Inspections that are at risk for high radon level concentrations.

Why Do I Need A Sewer Scope?

A sewer scope should be considered because it is the best way to ensure the drainage line from your home is in good shape. Factors such as root intrusion and pipe collapses are not visible to the naked eye during a home inspection.

A sewer scope inspection consists of camera being extended through the length of a drainage line. The video provided by a sewer scope can determine if there are obstructions or damage.
