Severance has transformed from a small agricultural community into one of Northern Colorado's hottest real estate markets. With a population that has grown rapidly to around 8,000 residents—and continuing to surge—new master-planned communities are popping up everywhere.
This explosive growth means lots of new construction, which requires careful inspection. While new homes are exciting, rapid building comes with quality control challenges that buyers need to understand.
Weld County Radon Alert: Severance is located in Weld County, which has some of the highest radon levels in Colorado. Radon testing is essential for ALL Severance homes—new construction included. Radon comes from the ground, not building materials, so even brand-new homes can have dangerous levels.
Many Severance buyers assume new homes don't need inspection—"it's brand new, what could be wrong?" This is one of the most costly mistakes a homebuyer can make:
New Construction Recommendation: For new homes in Severance, we recommend a full home inspection ($385-$485) plus radon testing ($160). The inspection protects you now; radon testing protects your family's health for years to come.
Severance sits in Weld County, which has some of the highest radon levels in Colorado. Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that causes lung cancer—it's the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
We use professional 48-hour continuous electronic monitoring for accurate results. If elevated radon is found, mitigation systems are effective and typically cost $1,000-$1,500 to install.
If you already own a new home in Severance, the 11-month warranty inspection may be the most important inspection you'll ever get. Here's why:
We perform a thorough inspection in month 11 and provide a detailed report listing all defects. You submit this to your builder, and they must address covered items before your warranty expires. Common findings include:
Don't Wait: Schedule your 11-month warranty inspection early enough to give the builder time to make repairs before your warranty expires. We recommend booking in month 10-11.
