Local knowledge

Why Farmington homes need a local read.

Farmington is the oldest village in Van Buren County, founded in 1839 on the east bank of the Des Moines River and incorporated in 1841. We calibrate every Farmington inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.

Farmington housing runs to houses from the 1840s river-town years, the town's 1900 peak of 1,332 residents, and a smaller stock of later postwar and newer homes, across the downtown blocks, the blocks near the river, and Wild Rose City Park where a flood-damaged block once stood, on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, on the east bank of the Des Moines River in Van Buren County.

Questions

Common questions.

Farmington flooded badly in 1993. How should that history shape what we look at in a house near the river?
A 1993 Des Moines River flood damaged a one-block area bordered by Walnut, Second and Third Streets, and the city bought that block for Wild Rose City Park. For a house in the lower blocks we check for stain lines, efflorescence and rot at the base of basement walls, the sump pit and discharge, window wells, grade at the foundation and the height of the furnace and water heater. Ask the seller about past water and claims and confirm the flood map status. Van Buren County is EPA Radon Zone 1, so radon testing belongs in 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.
