11-Month Warranty Inspection in Marshalltown

11-Month Warranty Inspection in Marshalltown, Marshall County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Marshalltown is a central-Iowa city of early-1900s homes and postwar neighborhoods, and we calibrate every visit to that.

An 11-month warranty inspection times a full review to the end of a builder's first-year warranty — so the settlement cracks, nail pops and grading issues a first Iowa winter reveals get repaired on the builder's dime.

Calibrated

Tuned to Marshalltown.

Marshalltown housing runs to early-1900s homes and postwar neighborhoods, across the historic core and postwar additions, on central-Iowa till — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Marshalltown

Marshalltown sits on Des Moines Lobe till — heavy, poorly drained clay that holds water against foundations and moves with moisture, which is what drives basement seepage and foundation cracking across central Iowa. Marshalltown sits in Marshall County, and every Iowa county is EPA Radon Zone 1. Iowa HHS reports Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level of any state — 71.6 percent in the Iowa Radon Survey — and the Iowa seller disclosure form asks for any known radon test results. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Iowa leaves frost depth to the local building code rather than one statewide number, and the annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Marshalltown visit to find.

Questions

Common questions.

When exactly do I schedule it?
Around month eleven, leaving time to file the report before the one-year warranty closes.
What does it find?
Issues a full freeze-thaw cycle exposes — cracking, nail pops, and HVAC and grading items.
Does storm damage matter in Marshalltown?
It is worth checking. Central Iowa has taken significant tornado and derecho damage, and a lot of roofing and siding here has been repaired or replaced under insurance. We read the quality of that work rather than assuming a new roof is a good roof.
