Home Inspector in Englewood, CO
Englewood is one of the oldest cities in the south metro: brick bungalows, post-war ranches and a growing number of scrapes and pop-tops. Original sewer lines, knob-and-tube remnants and 100-year-old foundations are the pattern. 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.
Most of the city predates modern codes. Electrical, plumbing and sewer all go on the list.
Century-old brick and block foundations have had a long time to move. Justin reads mortar condition, bowing, prior repairs and moisture, and tells you what is historic settlement and what is active.
