11-Month Warranty Inspection in New Market

11-Month Warranty Inspection in New Market, Taylor County, by Closer Look Inspectors. New Market is a Taylor County town founded in 1881 when the Humeston and Shenandoah Railroad was built through, with the tracks completed in October 1882.

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.

Local housing

Homes in New Market.

New Market housing runs to houses from the railroad years of the early 1880s, early-1900s homes from the 1920 peak of 745 residents, postwar houses and later infill, across the old railroad-era townsite of about 0.43 square miles and the farm ground and acreages around it, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in Taylor County — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in New Market

No Iowa law requires a home inspection before a sale — the one mandatory time-of-transfer inspection covers private septic systems (Iowa Code 455B.172) — which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a New Market home. New Market sits in Taylor 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 that New Market-area homes face.

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.
New Market was built around a railroad that arrived in the 1880s. What does that mean for an old house here?
The Humeston and Shenandoah line brought the town to life in 1881 and 1882, and its oldest houses are close to a century and a half old. Foundations and crawl spaces, sill and floor-framing condition, old wiring and panels, aging plumbing, and the roof and chimney are the usual concerns. The town reached a population of 745 around 1920 and is smaller now, so some homes have seen uneven upkeep; it helps to know what has been replaced and what has not. Taylor County is EPA Radon Zone 1, and a private septic system calls for the transfer inspection under Iowa Code 455B.172.
