Local knowledge

Why East Peru homes need a local read.

East Peru is a Madison County town that started with the 1887 railroad and is the birthplace of the Red Delicious apple. We calibrate every East Peru inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.

East Peru housing runs to houses from the 1887 railroad years and the early-1900s town, which peaked at 371 residents in 1910, with some mid-century homes and farmsteads, across the small railroad townsite and the farm ground and acreages around it, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in Madison County.

Questions

Common questions.

East Peru lost two thirds of its 1910 population, so what does that mean for a house here?
More vacancy and more deferred work than a growing town. East Peru counted 371 people in 1910 and 115 in 2020, and it began with the railroad in 1887, so many houses have outlasted the town that built them. We look for frozen and split supply lines in empty houses, dry traps, rodent entry, failed sump pumps and roofs no one has examined in years. We date the wiring, heating and plumbing, and check the foundation for movement. Iowa Code 455B.172 requires a septic inspection before transfer, and Madison County is EPA Radon Zone 1.
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.
