Home Inspection in Ammon, ID

Ammon is right next door to Idaho Falls on its east side, which makes it one of the closest towns we serve. It's also one of the fastest-growing: the city went from about 13,800 residents in 2010 to about 17,700 in 2020, according to the U.S. Census, and it's now the second-largest city in the Idaho Falls area.

That growth shows up in the homes we inspect. Ammon has mostly newer homes compared with the Idaho Falls side, though older homes are still part of the mix.

 

Buying a Newer Home in Ammon

A new or nearly new house still deserves a full inspection. Builders work on tight timelines with many different crews, and small misses can turn into bigger repairs later. On new homes in the area, we've found roof flashing that was never installed and a roof damaged badly enough that the builder replaced it.

Thermal imaging is included with every inspection we do. On a custom home in the Idaho Falls foothills, about 10 years old, our thermal scan showed that most of the tall exterior walls in the main living area were missing insulation. It's the kind of thing you can't see by looking at finished drywall. Read the full inspection stories, or learn more about thermal imaging.

The 11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection

If you bought a new home in Ammon within the last year, an 11-month warranty inspection is worth scheduling before the builder's one-year warranty runs out. We inspect the structure, roof, exterior, interior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation and ventilation, and scan the walls and ceilings with a thermal camera.

You then build a custom report with just the items you want the builder to address, with our photos, videos and exact wording, so there's little room for miscommunication. Learn more about the 11-month warranty inspection, or read what to know about buying a new construction home.

Radon Testing in Ammon

New construction doesn't mean low radon. Basements, crawlspaces and slab homes can all let radon in, and two homes in the same subdivision can test very differently. Our 48-hour test gives you the number for the house you're buying, compared to the EPA's 4 pCi/L action level. Learn how our radon testing in Ammon and Southeast Idaho works, and why it matters for new builds.
