Home Inspector Serving Fort Wayne, Indiana
Buying a home in Fort Wayne is a major investment, and a thorough inspection can help you understand the property before making important decisions. RH Inspections, LLC provides detailed home inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Fort Wayne and northeast Indiana. Every inspection is personally performed by Ross Shartzer, an Indiana-licensed and InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector with practical residential construction experience. You’ll receive clear explanations, detailed photographs, and a straightforward report that helps you distinguish significant concerns from routine maintenance items.
What Your Fort Wayne Home Inspection Covers
Fort Wayne’s housing includes older homes in established neighborhoods, mid-century properties, and newer construction throughout Allen County. Your inspection includes a visual evaluation of the home’s accessible structure, roof, exterior, foundation, basement or crawlspace, plumbing, electrical system, heating and cooling equipment, attic, insulation, ventilation, interior rooms, windows, doors, and installed appliances. The inspection also looks for evidence of moisture intrusion, aging or improperly modified systems, deferred maintenance, and safety concerns that could affect your purchase or future ownership costs.
Important Considerations for Fort Wayne-Area Homes
Every property is different, but several conditions deserve careful attention when evaluating homes in Fort Wayne and the surrounding area:
• Basements and crawlspaces for moisture intrusion, ventilation, and structural concerns
• Older electrical components, modifications, and insufficient modern safety protection
• Roof coverings, flashing, chimneys, gutters, and exterior drainage
• Heating and cooling equipment condition, installation, and remaining service life
• Plumbing materials, visible leakage, water-heating equipment, and drainage performance
• Additions, renovations, and repairs that may have been completed improperly
Additional Inspection Services in Fort Wayne
RH Inspections offers additional tools and testing services when a standard visual inspection does not provide all the information you need. These services may be scheduled with a complete home inspection or requested separately for a specific property concern.
Mold Testing in Fort Wayne
Musty odors, past water entry, visible suspect growth, or unexplained indoor air-quality concerns may warrant additional testing. RH Inspections can collect air or surface samples based on the conditions present and submit them to a qualified laboratory for analysis. The resulting report is explained clearly so you can understand what was identified and decide whether further evaluation or remediation is appropriate.
Thermal Imaging in Fort Wayne
Infrared imaging helps identify temperature patterns that cannot be seen with the naked eye. When interpreted alongside visible conditions, thermal imaging may reveal indications of concealed moisture, insulation deficiencies, air leakage, or unusual heating around electrical and mechanical components. It provides an additional investigative tool rather than replacing a complete visual inspection.
Drone Inspection Services in Fort Wayne
Drone inspection services provide detailed aerial photographs and video of roofs, chimneys, exterior components, outbuildings, land, and other areas that may be difficult or unsafe to view from the ground. Ross is an FAA Part 107-certified drone pilot and can perform aerial evaluations when weather, airspace requirements, site conditions, and safe operation permit.

A home inspection should provide more than a list of defects. Ross takes the time to explain the home’s condition, answer questions, and help clients understand which findings may require immediate attention, and which are typical maintenance items.
