Questions

Common questions.

Shellsburg is growing — do newer houses here still need a full inspection?
Yes, and the findings differ rather than disappear. Shellsburg was founded in 1854 but has added population recently, so it holds both old and new. In the older plat the issues are original wiring behind new panels, clay laterals and stone foundations. In the newer stock they are builder details: grading pitched back toward the foundation on former farm ground, backfill settlement, attic insulation and ventilation shortcuts, disconnected bath fans and mis-wired outlets. Tight new construction also concentrates radon, and Benton 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.
