Mark has been the Angie's List Super Service Award winner every year since 2010. His business model is simple. He tries to do his best and to treat people the way he'd want to be treated. Mark started working in home construction in 1971 and spent the next 25 years building and repairing them. Now in his 23rd year of inspecting them, his ears don't work as good as they used to, but he still gets into places young men don't so he can 'get to the bottom of the signs and symptoms he observes and discovers.

"Mark did an amazingly thorough inspection on a property we were planning to purchase. He found several significant issues and explained and documented the risks for each one which helped us decide it wasn’t the right home for us. Once we found a new potential property we hired Mark again. He let us tag along during the inspection and answered all our questions. His inspection reports are extremely detailed and include pictures for references. If you want peace of mind or to know what issues may lurk in a new home he is the guy to call!!"

"The materials used by Commercial Service (Water Heater & Softener/Treatment System...and Heat/AC) are the very best you can get. We have been customers for many years, and have always been impressed by the integrity and skill of their technicians in both HVAC & Plumbing services. We have subscribed to their Maintenance Programs for many years because those are excellent as well. Their prices are usually significantly higher than similar companies...but because we can trust their work and honesty, we are willing to pay for that."

"I wish I could give 0 stars, honestly. The house flippers that we bought the home from used Radon Environmental during the flip in January to solve the radon mitigation issues in the slab following a different buyer being scared off by the high radon levels. By the time we walked through the house with the inspector in February, the radon levels MORE THAN DOUBLED (over 10 pCi/L, for those wondering.) It was then that I began to be skeptical of Radon Environmental, so I negotiated in our closing contract for the house flippers to pay for everything. This, unfortunately, made me contractually obligated to use Radon Environmental. Trust me, I tried to convince the house flippers to switch companies. To make long stories short, Patrick (technician) made 3 mistakes in the house which made those radon levels spike that high for A MONTH. Each time, Scott (manager-ish) had to come fix Patrick's mistakes. Of course, the owner was difficult to reach (only responds to customers via email, per his office staff) and when he did reach out via phone following my prompting, he made nothing but excuses for Patrick. I am, once again, so grateful that I was not on the hook for cost as they did the house flippers little favors when it came to billing. TLDR; there are better radon companies out there, and I found more than a few in the area with Better Business Bureau accreditations, among other accolades. Give those companies your business instead of these people who turned a small radon issue into a 6 month one. If you do use this company, don't let Patrick near your home."

Indiana Crawl Space Repair is a trusted crawl space repair contractor providing waterproofing, insulation, encapsulation, drainage, vapor barriers, and structural repairs in Indiana and the Greater Indianapolis area. Our Estimates are free, and most of the time can be scheduled the same day you contact us. Give us a call at 800-371-1939 to schedule an appointment

"First I would like to say that everyone I dealt with at ICSR was great! From Erika who made the appointments to Jeremiah who did the inspection, to Terry and his crew. They were all friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. Jeremiah explained in detail what needed done in my crawlspace. There was a lot of damage due to termites in the past. I knew this was what needed done as I had another Company look at it as well. They backed out because they thought the crawlspace was to narrow to get the work done. I agreed to Jeremiah's plan and about two weeks later Larry and his crew came out to do the work. I will say it again, Larry and his crew were great. They worked so hard and in horrible heat and humidity. They were always friendly and smiled when I saw them. Larry always let me know what they got done that day, and what the plan was for the next. They cleaned up the work area, and took away any and all debris. I have full faith in ICSR and Larry and his crew that the repairs were done right. I am so glad the plan with the other company fell through, as I think I ended up with the best!"

OWNER OPERATED AND IN BUSINESS SINCE 1997. No Subcontractors. Ron performs all inspections himself. Our goal is to help our clients make informed decisions concerning the purchase of their home or investment property. Our fees are mid-range but after seeing the thoroughness and time we spend on a property, our clients generally agree that they get much more than their money's worth. We strive to provide the most thorough professional home inspections in the business. We also provide radon testing, well and septic inspections, and mold sampling. Our inspections typically require 3-4 hours on site but we give the home as much time as it takes. We take digital photos of significant findings and include a caption beside of each photo describing the issue. Then, we provide a timely professional computer generated inspection report. We work outside the realtor network and do not rely on the referrals of realtors. A large percentage of our business is referrals from previous clients and repeat clients. We work all central Indiana from Lafayette, all Indy, to Terre Haute, Bloomington, Columbus, Bedford, and Mitchell. NO TRAVEL CHARGE. Our clients have described Ron's thoroughness as "anal retentive." One client even jokingly referred to the quality of Ron's inspection that Ron has "found an outlet for his obsessive compulsiveness." On the other hand, a realtor described Ron as "the inspector from hell." We work only for our clients and our reputation is only as good as our last inspection.

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Perc rates vary dramatically, and a good perc rate could be anything from 5 minutes per inch of drainage to 60 minutes per inch. The lower the number, the faster your system will drain and the more effective it will be. A 60-minute-per-inch drain rate is the highest number considered to be good, or even allowable, draining.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.

Septic tank lids may or may not be buried in a yard. Most lids are buried at least 4 inches deep unless you have an aerobic septic system. Aerobic septic systems need frequent cleanings, about every four months, so it’s best to leave these lids aboveground for easier access. For buried lids, homeowners can use risers that make it easier to locate and access a buried septic tank lid.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

Most home wells start at 100 feet, and many go as deep as 200 or 300 feet

It takes quite a lot of water to meet the demands of showers, toilets, faucets, and appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines, and shallow wells struggle to provide this amount quickly. If you anticipate having high water usage in the future, it’s often better to drill slightly deeper and give yourself a bit more water storage than you need.
