Local knowledge

Why Mapleton homes need a local read.

Mapleton is a Maple River railroad town that grew up around the 1877 Chicago and North Western line, rebuilt in places after the April 2011 storm.

Mapleton housing runs to a broad run of houses from the 1877 railroad town through the early 1900s, plus postwar ranches and homes rebuilt or repaired after the April 2011 storm, across the old downtown grid, the streets along the Maple River, and the west and south edges where newer construction sits, on the Maple River valley and loess-capped uplands where the Southern Iowa Drift Plain runs toward the Loess Hills.

Questions

Common questions.

How do I check a Mapleton house that was damaged and repaired after the 2011 storm?
On April 9, 2011 an EF3 storm damaged or destroyed a large share of Mapleton, so a lot of the housing stock has a repair or rebuild history mixed in with houses from the 1800s and early 1900s. Worth asking: whether repaired roofs are decked and fastened correctly, whether framing ties from roof to wall to foundation are visible where the attic or basement allows, and whether new work was tied into old wiring and plumbing. The permit paper trail is also worth gathering, because repair quality is the real question here. Monona 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.
