Local knowledge

Why Montrose homes need a local read.

Montrose is a Lee County town platted in 1836 and incorporated in 1857, set on the Mississippi River at the head of the Des Moines Rapids. We calibrate every Montrose inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.

Montrose housing runs to houses from the years after the 1836 platting and 1857 incorporation, with railroad-era frame homes, a postwar stock and later infill, across the river-front blocks along the Mississippi, the old Burlington railroad corridor and the residential streets nearby, on the Mississippi River valley on the edge of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, at the head of the Des Moines Rapids.

Questions

Common questions.

Montrose sits right on the Mississippi. How should I judge a house near the river?
Begin with elevation and water history. Montrose sits along the Mississippi at the head of the Des Moines Rapids, so for a lower-lying house we look for stain lines and efflorescence on basement walls, the sump pit and its discharge, window wells, and the height of the furnace and water heater off the floor. Ask the seller about past water entry and insurance claims, and check the flood map status of the lot before you commit. We also check grade and drainage at the foundation after rain. Lee County is EPA Radon Zone 1, so a radon test is a good add-on.
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.
