Marshall & Clark County Inspections: Serving the Wabash Valley with Integrity
In Marshall and throughout Clark County, we see a diverse range of properties—from the beautiful historic homes near the downtown courthouse to the sprawling farmsteads in Casey, Martinsville, and West Union. Because Clark County sits on a mix of silty loam and heavy clay, foundation issues like differential settlement and bowing basement walls are common in our area. I utilize my Crawlspace Robot to navigate the tight, low-clearance foundations found in many of our older local homes, identifying hidden structural decay or plumbing leaks that others might overlook. Whether you’re buying a legacy property in town or a manufactured home requiring a HUD Foundation Certification, I bring the same level of focus and integrity I used as a first responder to ensure your Clark County investment is safe for the long haul.
What I Inspect
My inspections cover all the major systems of the home to ensure your family is safe and your investment is sound:
Roofing & Attic:
Shingles, flashing, ventilation, and insulation.
Structure:
Foundation, crawlspaces, and framing.
Systems:
HVAC (Heating & Cooling), Plumbing, and Electrical panels.
Interiors:
Walls, ceilings, floors, and built-in appliances.
Exterior:
Siding, windows, doors, and drainage.
Advanced Tools & Technology
I use state-of-the-art equipment to see what other inspectors might miss. I don't just guess; I verify.
Water Quality Testing:
Whether the home is on a private well or public utilities, I can test your water supply for common contaminants, bacteria, and lead to ensure it is safe to drink.
Crawlspace Crawler:
Some crawlspaces are too tight or hazardous for a person to enter safely. I use a robotic crawler to navigate these areas, ensuring you get photos and data on the foundation and plumbing even in the hardest-to-reach spots.
Air Quality Testing:
Your long-term health matters. I offer testing to detect mold spores, allergens, and other indoor air quality issues that could impact your family.
Drone Inspections:
I use high-resolution drones to inspect steep, high, or fragile roofs. This allows me to spot missing shingles or flashing issues without risking damage to the roof by walking on it.
Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections:
I am licensed through Purdue University to identify signs of termites and other wood-destroying pests. While I do not issue the official state forms for lenders, I will expertly inspect the property for visible activity or damage and inform you immediately if issues are found, ensuring you aren't caught off guard.
Thermal Imaging:
I scan walls and ceilings with infrared thermal cameras. This "X-ray vision" helps me detect hidden moisture leaks, missing insulation, and overheating electrical components that are invisible to the naked eye.
