Single-story yellow brick rambler with attached garage — 11-Month Warranty Inspection in Woden, IAWoden
Local housing

Homes in Woden.

Woden housing runs to older farm-town homes, across the village core, on flat prairie-pothole Des Moines Lobe till near the state line — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Woden

Woden 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. Woden sits in Hancock 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 Woden-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 Woden?
Yes. Around Woden footings set below the locally required frost depth still see settlement cracks and ice-dam wear, and Iowa's Zone 1 radon standing makes a 48-hour test a smart add-on.
