Kouts, IN, located 10 or so miles South of Valparaiso down highway 49, is exactly what the sign at the entrance to this town says it is, ” a good place to live and shop”. The people in this community truly make it just that. We have a personal attachment to this gem of a town as I have traveled South to visit friends from Kouts since high school. We take pride in performing quality inspections for the residents of Kouts. Kouts has grown rapidly in the last 10 to 20 years. As a youngster, I remember visiting this town during the Summer to spend the day swimming with friends at the Kouts Pool. In addition, we have had tons of fun fishing/boating in the Kankakee River over the years. Currently, I frequently patron the Baums Bridge Inn or maybe some breakfast and coffee at the Coffee Cup diner located downtown.
Today, we mostly visit Kouts on business, to inspect homes or commercial properties, for potential buyers and sellers. As a matter of fact, the very first home inspection we completed after opening the doors in 2003 was right off of hwy. 49 a half mile South of hwy. 8 in good ole Kouts, IN. Our inspectors particularly enjoy the element of surprise after we schedule an inspection in Kouts. We never know what type of inspection will be requested from the client. For example, this Summer we inspected old farmhouses, new construction, and even a commercial property on hwy. 8 for a business owner interested in moving his company to Kouts. If the property buyer is concerned about the safety and condition of the well or septic tank look no further. Certified offers water testing for bacteria, Lead, and Nitrates completed by a reputable local laboratory.

Each home inspection includes the following:
For all Kouts-area inspections we offer the following features:
