Plumbing Inspection in Henryville, IN
About 28% of the people who own a home in Henryville bought it in 2018 or later. On a turnover figure that high, the question is less whether an inspection happened than what it was allowed to look at.
The one-paragraph answer
In Henryville, where 28% of owners bought in 2018 or later, a great many homes have been inspected recently. A standard inspection looks at what can be seen and operated; the drain line under the garden is outside its published scope and needs a camera survey.

When Henryville moved in
A high turnover rate means most transactions here are recent, so the report that came with the house is probably still in a drawer. It is worth reading again — not the findings, which you already acted on, but the exclusions, which you almost certainly did not.
| Owner households in Henryville | Share of all owners |
|---|---|
| Moved in 2021 or later | 7% |
| Moved in 2018–2020 | 21% |
| Moved in 2010–2017 | 33% |
| Moved in before 2010 | 39% |

Universe: 1,588 occupied housing units, of which 1,455 are owner-occupied. This counts when the CURRENT occupant moved in, so it measures recent moves as a share of the housing stock — not a rate of sales per year.
What the inspection will not cover
Lawn irrigation is excluded. It is buried, it is seasonal, and it is connected to the same supply as the house — which makes it the one excluded item that can affect something the inspection did cover.

What it is required to cover
The covered list is shorter than the excluded one and it is not thin. Every fixture run, every toilet flushed, the drain-waste-vent system described, the water heater and its venting examined, the shut-offs located. That is a real morning of work and it is worth knowing it happened.
The rest of what an inspector must do is set out here. It is shorter than the excluded list and it is the half that tells you what a finding is worth.
What to do about it
Write down where the main water shut-off and the main fuel shut-off are. InterNACHI requires both locations to be described, and they are the two most useful lines in the document.
The published standards settle most arguments: excluded, covered, and the separate instruction for everything past the building.
