Home Inspector in Aurora, CO
Aurora runs from 1950s ranches near Lowry to 2020s rooftops out past E-470. Age, soil and build quality change every few miles, so the inspection list changes with them. Justin inspects it with a structural engineer's eye and a buyer's deadline in mind.
What the housing stock tells an inspector before he arrives.
A median in the mid-1980s hides a 70-year spread. The west side is postwar; the east is new.
Aurora foundations move on clay that swells and shrinks with the season. Justin maps crack patterns, checks floor slope and traces where water leaves the roof, then separates seasonal movement from a wall that is still going.

Aurora inspection questions
How soon can you inspect a home in Aurora?
Usually within 2 to 3 days, including weekends.
Does Aurora need a sewer scope?
On anything west of Chambers, yes. Those laterals are mostly original clay.
Is foundation movement normal here?
Some is. Expansive claystone moves most Aurora foundations a little. The engineering background is what separates seasonal cracks from active movement.
Do you inspect new construction in east Aurora?
Yes: pre-drywall and final walkthrough. Fast-moving subdivisions miss things.
Do you inspect Aurora condos and townhomes?
Yes. HOA-maintained components are noted so you know what is and is not yours.
