"Want to go on record to say that service was excellent from initial contact and a thorough timely evaluation and appraisal with supporting documentation. I found the work to be very professional and was done in an expedient fashion. Company was very transparent in pricing and I found their actual pricepoint to be more than fair for the final rendered report. That said, I would gladly use this company again if I had the need."

"They weren't forthcoming about additional testing. Base inspection $299 then additional $400+ for lab testing. Wish I had known for vendor comparison purposes. However, I think it was worth it. Owner said the techs need to be instructed to say it was optional, but it helps you better understand the mold your dealing with. Glad I did it but not sure if it could have been done for less."

"We contacted Indiana Foundation for a free inspection of our attached garage that we're turning into a bedroom for our handicapped son. We had several places that leaked where the wall meets the floor. A Mr John Hill did the inspection and then answered all our questions to our satisfaction. He was quite the professional but did not pressure us in any way, like most salesmen do. We decided to go ahead and schedule to get the waterproofing done. The cost was reasonable and it made sense to get it done now rather than wait for more damage to occur, making it more expensive. We look forward to meeting the crew. John Hill came as an inspector and left as a friend. Indiana Foundation is lucky to have him on their team."

"We are customer for LIFE! My husband and I had a bad experience with a contractor, so naturally we are very cautious on who we hire. Rogers Roofing has restored our faith in the home remodeling industry. Their inspector, Sean, was extremely detailed and organized. He even went in our attic to take videos and photos of anything and everything that was going on! Zero pressure during the appointment, just complete honesty. He had a specific plan for our new roofing system, and our home has never been more protected. Thank you Rogers Roofing!"

"From the first phone call i received from luke he was Very informative and attentive to answering any of my questions. He took the time to explain everything i had doubts in. During the actual home inspection he was super meticulous with his inspection. He noticed things i had overlooked. Major things he noticed was that the roof was wavy and find the reason. Second thing he found asbestos strips in basement. Overall Luke was the right person for the job he is someone i would definitely recommend in any inspections and future home inspections. Thank you luke"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

It is generally recommended to schedule a professional plumbing inspection annually, though an inspection every two years may be sufficient for newer homes. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age of your plumbing system, water quality (such as hardness), and any previous plumbing issues. More frequent checks are advisable for older homes or those with a history of problems. Additionally, if your property has mature trees with extensive root systems, more frequent inspections are beneficial as roots can crack sewer and water lines. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, and can include checking for leaks, inspecting connections, and ensuring pipes and fixtures are in good working condition to prolong the life of your plumbing system.

In most cases, inspection costs are not included in closing costs. The inspection is usually a standalone expense the buyer or seller covers by choice. Closing costs are normally required and designed to cover other costs, such as appraisal fees, title search fees, and attorney fees.

A mobile home inspection thoroughly assesses a manufactured or mobile home's structural and functional aspects. A certified inspector examines the home's condition, including its foundation, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, insulation, flooring, and overall structural integrity. The goal is to identify any potential issues, safety hazards, or necessary repairs. The inspector provides a detailed report summarizing the findings, highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the home, and often includes an estimate for the remaining life span of appliances, systems, and components.

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

A professional foundation inspection typically takes one to two hours, depending on the size of the house and whether the inspector finds any issues that require further investigation. The specialist or structural engineer will evaluate the foundation's condition by inspecting many parts of the home, including the perimeter, crawl space or basement, windows, doors, trimwork, attic, roof, and interior and exterior walls. They will also check for signs of over-settling and may inspect your landscape's drainage and gutters.
