You found the house. You wrote the offer. It was accepted...

And now someone is about to spend a few hours looking at EVERYTHING!

So what does a home inspection actually cover?

A typical home inspection evaluates the visible and accessible systems and components of the property — including the roof, exterior, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems, attic, insulation, interior, built-in appliances and more.

But here’s the part buyers sometimes misunderstand:

An inspection isn’t a pass/fail test.

And your inspector isn’t there to tell you whether you should buy the house.

They’re there to help you understand what you’re buying.

Every house has something. Yes, even the pretty one with the perfect kitchen and the countertops you’re already mentally decorating.

The important part is knowing what’s normal maintenance, what may need repair, what could be a safety concern, and what deserves further evaluation.

Knowledge = negotiating power AND fewer “wait…WHAT?!” moments after closing.

Once the drywall goes up… you can’t see what’s hiding behind it.

That’s why a pre-drywall inspection is one of the smartest times to have a new construction home inspected.

Picture this…

Your new home is finally taking shape. The framing is up. Plumbing is running through the walls. Electrical is being installed. HVAC is going in.

It’s exciting because you can FINALLY start seeing your house become a home.

But right now, your house is also completely exposed.

And that gives us an opportunity we won’t have once the drywall goes up.

During a pre-drywall inspection, I’m able to take a closer look at the home while the framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC components and other areas are still visible.

I’m looking for things like:

• Framing and structural concerns

• Plumbing issues

• Electrical installation concerns

• HVAC installation issues

• Missing or improperly installed components

• Anything that may need attention before the walls are closed

“But Nick… it’s a brand-new house. Why would I need an inspection?”

Because new doesn’t automatically mean perfect.

There are multiple crews, contractors and trades working on a home throughout the building process. Things can get missed. Things can be installed incorrectly. And sometimes, catching something NOW can be a whole lot easier than discovering it after you’ve moved in.

The builder has their inspections.

You should have someone looking at the home for YOU!

Save this post for later — and before that drywall goes up, reach out to Grizzly Home Inspections to schedule your pre-drywall inspection.

Let’s make sure what’s behind those walls looks just as good as what you’ll eventually see in front of them.

If the home has a private well, the water you're drinking doesn't come from the city. That means it's up to you to know what's in it...

That's why at Grizzly Home Inspection, we offer well water testing as part of the inspection process. It's one more way to help you make an informed decision before closing day.

Whether you're buying your dream ranch, a mountain cabin, or a home with a few acres, don't overlook one of the most important parts of the property—the water.

Knowledge is confidence, and confidence makes for a better home purchase.

How old is your radon mitigation system?

If your answer is, "I have no idea," you're not alone!

Most homeowners assume that once a radon mitigation system is installed, it will protect their home forever. Unfortunately, that's not how it works.

The fan on a mitigation system runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Like any mechanical component, it eventually wears out. A failed fan can allow radon levels to rise without any obvious warning.
That's why it's recommended to test your home for radon every 3–5 years, even if a mitigation system is installed. It's the only way to verify the system is still doing its job.

For sellers, this is a great way to avoid surprises during negotiations and show buyers you've taken care of your home.

For buyers, don't assume a mitigation system means the problem has been solved. Verify it with testing so you know your family is protected.

Knowledge is one of the best investments you can make in a home!

When was the last time your home was tested for radon? Let me know in the comments, or send me a message if you have questions about radon testing or home inspections. I'm always happy to help.

Ever wonder what really goes into a home inspection? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at a typical day in the field with Grizzly.

Early Start

The day starts early. Before most people finish their first cup of coffee, we’re already reviewing the property details, confirming access, and making sure our equipment is ready to go.

On Site & Getting to Work

Once we arrive, it’s go time. A full home inspection isn’t just a quick walkthrough — we’re methodically evaluating the home from top to bottom:
✔ Roof and exterior
✔ Attic, insulation, and ventilation
✔ Electrical systems
✔ Plumbing and water heater
✔ HVAC system
✔ Foundation and structure
✔ Appliances and more
If it’s ordered, we’re also setting radon monitors, collecting water samples, or running sewer scopes.

Documenting Everything

We take a large number of photos and notes during the inspection. Every finding — big or small — gets documented so our clients have a clear picture of the home’s condition.

Client Walkthrough, One of the most important parts of the job is education. We take time to explain what we found, answer questions, and help buyers understand what matters now vs. what to simply keep an eye on.

Same-Day Reporting

After leaving the property, the work isn’t done. We finalize a detailed, easy-to-read report so our clients can move forward with confidence.

Why It Matters...

At Grizzly Home Inspections, we know buying a home is a big deal. Our job is to give you clear, honest information so there are no surprises after closing.

The friends we meet and make everyday as a home inspector. This guy isnt a bad one, but there are other we look for in an inspection.

Buying a Home with a VA Loan?
If you’re using a VA loan here in Colorado, a pest and Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO) inspection is required.

This inspection makes sure the home is free from termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other pests that can cause serious damage to the structure. It’s an important step to protect your investment and keep the buying process moving smoothly.

At Grizzly Home Inspection, we’re licensed to handle VA pest and WDO inspections anywhere from Fort Collins to Pueblo. We keep it simple, thorough, and fast—so you can move forward with confidence.
