Home Inspector in Littleton, CO
Littleton mixes 1950s–70s brick ranches near downtown with 1980s two-stories to the south and west. Original sewer laterals, aluminum wiring and aging roofs 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.
Half the housing stock predates 1980, which puts clay sewer laterals and original electrical on the checklist.
Platte-valley lots drain well but can sit high on the water table. Ken Caryl and Columbine lots to the west are on expansive clay. Justin reads which one you are on and what the foundation has done about it.
Sources: Arapahoe County Assessor. Housing figures from assessor records on file.
Homes built between 1955 and 1990 have a known list. Justin works through all of it.
Beyond the standard InterNACHI scope, these are the era-specific items that show up again and again from Old Town to Ken Caryl.
Clay or Orangeburg from house to main. Camera scope recommended on every pre-1980 Littleton home.

Many 1980s roofs are on their second or third layer. Layers, bruising and flashing condition documented.
