About Evans, Colorado

Evans is a small town of approximately 22,000 residents nestled between Greeley and Milliken in Weld County. Known for its friendly community atmosphere and affordable housing, Evans offers a mix of older established neighborhoods with character homes and newer developments bringing modern construction.

What Makes Evans Unique

As a Weld County community, Evans presents specific considerations for homebuyers:

  • High radon area: Weld County is EPA Zone 1 - radon testing is essential for every home purchase
  • Private well systems: Many Evans properties use well water rather than municipal supply
  • Mix of home ages: From 1960s ranch homes to brand-new construction
  • Agricultural heritage: Some properties have outbuildings, septic systems, and rural characteristics

Radon Testing in Evans - Critical for Weld County

High Radon Alert: Evans is located in Weld County, which the EPA classifies as Zone 1 - the highest radon potential category. We strongly recommend radon testing for EVERY Evans home purchase, regardless of home age or construction type.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the soil. It's the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. The geology of Weld County produces elevated radon levels throughout the area.

Evans Radon Facts

  • Many Evans homes test well above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L
  • New construction does NOT protect against radon - it comes from the ground
  • Both basement and slab-on-grade homes need testing
  • Radon levels vary significantly between neighboring homes
  • Testing is the ONLY way to know your home's radon level

We use 48-hour continuous electronic monitoring for the most accurate results. If elevated radon is found, mitigation systems are effective and typically cost $1,000-$1,500 to install.

Well Water Testing in Evans

Many Evans properties - particularly those on larger lots or in more rural areas - rely on private well systems rather than municipal water. Unlike city water, private wells have no regular testing or treatment requirements, making buyer testing essential.

Our Well System Evaluation Includes

  • Pump function testing: Verify the well pump operates properly
  • Pressure tank inspection: Check tank condition and proper pressurization
  • Flow rate measurement: Ensure adequate water supply for household needs
  • System components: Evaluate pressure switch, wiring, and related equipment
  • Visual well inspection: Check well cap, casing, and surface conditions

Water Bacteria Testing

For $220, we also offer comprehensive water bacteria testing that checks for coliform bacteria and E. coli contamination. This is especially important for Evans wells because:

  • Agricultural activity in the area can affect groundwater
  • Older wells may have compromised seals
  • Seasonal flooding can introduce contaminants
  • There's no municipal treatment of private well water

Well Testing Recommendation: If you're buying an Evans home with a private well, we strongly recommend both well system testing ($350 with inspection) AND water bacteria testing ($220) to ensure your water supply is safe and reliable.

Sewer Scope Inspection for Evans Homes

Evans has many established neighborhoods with homes built in the 1960s through 1990s. These older properties often have aging sewer infrastructure that can hide expensive problems.

Common Sewer Issues in Older Evans Homes

  • Root intrusion: Tree roots seeking moisture penetrate pipe joints
  • Bellied pipes: Settled sections that collect waste and cause backups
  • Orangeburg pipe: Older tar-paper pipes that deteriorate over time
  • Offset joints: Shifted connections that catch debris
  • Cracks and breaks: Aging clay or cast iron pipes that have failed

Our $150 sewer scope inspection uses a waterproof camera to visually inspect the entire sewer line from house to street. This 15-minute inspection can save you thousands in unexpected repairs.

When to Get a Sewer Scope: Recommended for any Evans home over 20 years old, homes with large trees near the sewer line, or any property with a history of slow drains or backups.

Mold Testing in Evans

Mold can be a concern in any home, but Evans' older housing stock and occasional flooding in the area make mold testing particularly relevant for certain properties.

When to Consider Mold Testing

  • Musty or earthy odors in the home
  • Visible water staining on walls or ceilings
  • History of basement water intrusion
  • Previous flooding or water damage
  • Occupant health concerns (allergies, respiratory issues)
  • Older homes with limited ventilation

Our $150 mold testing uses professional air quality sampling to detect elevated mold spore levels. We collect samples that are analyzed by an accredited laboratory to identify mold types and concentrations.

Termite/WDO Inspection in Evans

While Colorado has lower termite pressure than southern states, subterranean termites and other wood-destroying organisms (WDOs) can still affect Evans homes - particularly older properties with wood-to-soil contact.

What We Look For

  • Subterranean termites: Most common termite type in Colorado
  • Carpenter ants: Can cause significant structural damage
  • Wood-boring beetles: Including powderpost and old house borers
  • Wood decay fungi: Rot that weakens structural members

Higher Risk Factors in Evans

  • Older homes with original wood construction
  • Wood siding or trim in contact with soil
  • Untreated wood in crawl spaces
  • Firewood stored against the house
  • Previous termite activity or treatment
