Home inspection in Middletown.
Closer Look Inspectors provides home inspection in Middletown, Des Moines County. Every Middletown inspection is documented in a photo-mapped digital report within 24 hours.
Why Middletown homes need a local read.
Middletown is a small Des Moines County town laid out in 1846, with the Iowa Ordnance Plant, now the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, established just south of town in November 1940. We calibrate every Middletown inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.
Middletown housing runs to houses from the years after the 1846 laying out, early-1900s frame homes, mid-1900s houses and later infill, across the compact townsite of about 0.55 square miles and the farm ground and acreages around it, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in Des Moines County.
