Local knowledge

Why Blockton homes need a local read.

Blockton is a small Taylor County town founded by Mormons in 1861 as Mormontown, renamed Blockton in 1887 for a Chicago Great Western railway official and incorporated in 1891. We calibrate every Blockton inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.

Blockton housing runs to houses from the 1861 settlement and the railroad years that followed, with a peak of 704 residents in 1900, plus postwar homes and later infill, across the compact townsite of about 0.64 square miles just east of the Platte River, and the farm ground around it, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain just east of the Platte River.

Questions

Common questions.

A Blockton house has sat empty for a while. What should I expect to find?
Empty houses show their problems slowly, so we check them carefully. We look for water stains on ceilings and basement walls, roof leaks, plumbing that was drained or neglected, and whether the furnace and water heater run. We also look at the foundation, gutters and grade, since a vacant house often has deferred drainage upkeep. Because the town sits just east of the Platte River, ask about any past water at the lot. Taylor County is EPA Radon Zone 1, so a radon test belongs with the basement review.
How long does an inspection take?
Plan on two to three hours for an average home; larger, older or multi-unit properties run longer because there is simply more to document.
