11-Month Warranty Inspection in Urbandale

11-Month Warranty Inspection in Urbandale, Polk County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Urbandale is a Des Moines suburb of postwar and newer neighborhoods.

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 Urbandale.

Urbandale housing runs to postwar and newer suburban neighborhoods, across the postwar core and newer subdivisions, on Des Moines Lobe till — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Urbandale

Urbandale 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. Urbandale sits in Polk 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 Urbandale-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.
Do you cover Urbandale?
Yes — the Des Moines metro is fully in range. Postwar stock here is at second-replacement age for mechanicals, and the clay till keeps drainage at the top of the list.
