Home Inspection in Blackfoot, ID
Blackfoot is the Bingham County seat, about 25 miles southwest of Idaho Falls on I-15 and roughly halfway to Pocatello. With about 12,300 residents (2020 U.S. Census), it's the largest town between the two cities, and we cover it from our Idaho Falls office.
We inspect established homes in town as well as rural properties with wells.
Older Homes: Plumbing, Sewer Lines and Panels
In older homes anywhere in Southeast Idaho, a few systems get extra attention during our inspection. Original galvanized supply pipes can corrode from the inside. Older electrical panels can be undersized or have brands with known problems. And the sewer line under the yard may be a material that doesn't hold up well over time.
​
Read our guides to galvanized plumbing in older Idaho homes and common electrical panel issues.
Why a Sewer Scope Is Worth Adding
A sewer scope is a camera inspection of the line from the house to the city connection or septic tank. Down the road in Pocatello, we scoped the sewer line of an early-1900s home in Old Town for first-time buyers and found Orangeburg pipe, a fiber pipe that was deformed, twisted and starting to pinch. Water was still flowing, but nobody could say how long it would last. The buyers worked with the sellers to get the line replaced before closing.

Rural Blackfoot Properties on Wells
For homes outside town on a private well, add a water potability test (total coliform and E. coli, tested at Teton Microbiology in Idaho Falls) and a well flow test when you book. See well testing.
Radon Testing in Blackfoot
Radon varies from house to house, so the neighborhood won't tell you much. Our 48-hour test measures the home you're buying, and we compare the result to the EPA's 4 pCi/L action level. We test, we don't mitigate, so the result isn't tied to selling you a fix. Learn about our radon testing in Blackfoot and the rest of Southeast Idaho.
