Home inspection in Ely.

Yes — most of Ely was built after 2000 and new stock has its own failure list. On former farm ground the grading is often pitched toward the foundation, backfill settles and cracks the slab or the block, attic insulation is short at the eaves and bath fans vent into the attic instead of through the roof. Framing modifications made for finished basements and HVAC balance across two stories are worth attention too. Newer homes are tighter, which concentrates radon, and Linn County is EPA Radon Zone 1 like the rest of Iowa.

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.
