Local knowledge

Why Smithland homes need a local read.

Smithland is one of the oldest settlements in Woodbury County, small and quiet beside the Little Sioux River valley. We calibrate every Smithland inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.

Smithland housing runs to a small stock of early-1900s farm-town houses with mid-century homes and a few newer builds, across the compact town grid, the acreages around it and the farm ground running out toward the river valley, on the Little Sioux River valley where it cuts through the Loess Hills, with steep loess slopes above the valley floor.

Questions

Common questions.

Do the loess slopes around Smithland change what an inspector looks for?
Yes. Smithland sits where the Little Sioux River valley courses through the Loess Hills on its way to the Missouri River floodplain. Loess holds a steep face well when dry and moves when it is saturated, so drainage matters more here than in flat country. We look at how roof and downspout water leaves the house, at retaining walls and sloped yards, and at foundation cracks and stair-step patterns in masonry. Smithland has shrunk from 224 residents in 2010 to 181 in 2020, so we also check homes that have sat vacant for signs of frozen lines and dead sump pumps.
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.
