The kind of things we help catch.
Examples based on past reports. Each finding includes the photo, location, and the reference it was checked against.
Basement wall reinforcement insufficient for lateral earth pressure from Marion County's high-plasticity glacial clay soils
Exterior cleanout cap not secured and flush-mounted at grade, creating trip hazard and allowing soil intrusion into sewer line
Ductwork in unconditioned crawlspace not insulated to R-8 minimum as required by Indiana energy code for climate zone 4A
Arc-fault circuit interrupter protection missing on bedroom branch circuits in new residential construction
Smoke alarm placement in vaulted ceiling room exceeds maximum 36-inch distance from apex per NFPA 72 spacing rules
Exterior wall sheathing nailing pattern at 12-inch spacing instead of required 6-inch at panel edges for wind zone
And only if we identify something that wasn't already on your list.
If everything identified was already on your list, you pay nothing. You keep the report either way.
GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
How do Marion County inspections differ from Indianapolis city inspections?
Marion County and Indianapolis operate under a consolidated city-county government (Unigov), so the same Department of Business and Neighborhood Services handles inspections countywide. Code requirements are the same whether your project is in the city center or unincorporated Marion County.
What soil conditions affect construction in Marion County?
Marion County sits on glacial till deposits with high-plasticity clay that expands and contracts with moisture changes. Builders must account for lateral soil pressure on basement walls and ensure proper drainage systems to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup against foundations.
Are basement waterproofing requirements strict in Marion County?
Yes. Indiana code requires dampproofing or waterproofing on below-grade walls, and Marion County inspectors enforce this closely due to the clay soils. Interior drain tile connected to a sump pump is standard practice, and inspectors verify installation before backfill.
What wind speed design is required for Marion County construction?
Marion County falls within the 90 mph basic wind speed zone per the Indiana building code. Roof sheathing attachment, wall bracing, and garage door reinforcement must all meet this wind speed rating. Tornado shelter provisions apply to certain occupancy types.
How does the $250 report help avoid re-inspections in Marion County?
You submit jobsite photos and your tracking list, and within 24 hours receive a findings report identifying code issues across all visible trades. Correcting these items before calling for inspection reduces the chance of a failed inspection and the delays that follow.
