Local knowledge

Why Maloy homes need a local read.

Maloy is a very small Ringgold County town platted in 1887 and incorporated in 1901, on the Little Platte River in southwest Ringgold County. We calibrate every Maloy inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.

Maloy housing runs to a small stock of houses from the 1887 platting and early-1900s growth, built toward the town's 1910 peak of 127 residents, plus a few later homes, across the compact townsite near the Little Platte River and the farm ground and acreages around it, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in Ringgold County, beside the Little Platte River.

Questions

Common questions.

Maloy sits beside the Little Platte River. If a house or acreage is near the river, what do you look at?
We start with how water moves around the lot. We look at grade and drainage at the foundation, stain lines or efflorescence on basement or crawlspace walls, the sump and its discharge, and mature trees whose roots or limbs reach the house and roof. Ask the seller about past water in the basement and check the flood map status of the lot. Properties here are often on a private well and septic system; Iowa Code 455B.172 requires an inspection of a private septic system before the property transfers. Ringgold County is EPA Radon Zone 1, so a radon test belongs in the basement or lowest-level 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.
