Do you have questions about what to expect from a home inspection in South Bend and surrounding Northern Indiana communities? Thankfully, we have answers. Check out our compiled list of FAQ, or contact our team to get a personalized answer!

For the roof portion of a home inspection in South Bend and neighboring communities, we inspect visible roof covering materials (shingles), flashings at roof penetrations and valleys, skylights, chimneys, gutters, and downspouts. We assess the condition of these elements for proper function, looking for evidence of leakage or worn, damaged, or missing components.
When HouseMaster Serving South Bend and Elkhart inspects exterior elements, we check the visible siding and trim, windows, doors, garages, porches, decks, stairs, and railings. We also assess proper construction and function, looking for damage, missing components, or other conditions that might lead to infiltration or functional concerns.

For the interior section of the home inspection in South Bend and surrounding areas, we inspect visible areas of all walls, ceilings, stairways, representative windows and doors, and attic areas. We look for signs of leakage, damage, sagging, or other structural concerns. We will operate windows to determine function. In accessible attics, besides assessing structural components, we note insulation and ventilation conditions.
During a foundation inspection in South Bend and surrounding areas, you can expect us to look for any visible issues. Along with inspecting visible load-bearing framing components, foundation walls, slabs, piers and columns, and major structural components, we assess visible, accessible structural components for function and the presence of damage, decay, or defects. We also look for water penetration in below-grade areas.
The South Bend area kitchen inspections include inspecting plumbing fixtures and built-in appliances. We check for water pressure or drainage issues, visible signs of leaks, and the basic operational modes of the appliances and ventilators. We also look at cabinets and countertops for significant deficiencies to provide a thorough property inspection.
We inspect the visible components of the central AC or heat pump system, including condensers, air handlers, and the distribution ductwork. We then operate the system to assess the function and condition of the accessible indoor/outdoor components. In Indiana, the distribution system is also assessed.
During your home inspection in South Bend and surrounding Northern Indiana communities, we inspect visible service panel components and household wiring and devices. We also assess the condition of readily accessible panel components, note the presence of GFCIs, AFCIs, and smoke alarms, and check the operation of representative outlets, switches, fixtures, and other devices.
We inspect visible water supply piping, distribution piping, waste system piping, water heaters, and plumbing fixtures. We also assess heating components and examine the physical condition of piping, kitchen, and bathroom fixtures (tubs, showers, toilets) and operate to assess flow, drainage, and leakage to provide a thorough and complete home inspection in South Bend and surrounding areas.
