Local knowledge

Why Thurman homes need a local read.

Thurman is a small Fremont County town that peaked at 409 residents in 1900 and was struck by a half-mile-wide EF-2 tornado on April 14, 2012. We calibrate every Thurman inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.

Thurman housing runs to houses from the town's turn-of-the-century peak of 409 residents, with a lot of repaired or rebuilt homes after the April 2012 tornado damaged 75 to 90 percent of them, plus later infill, across the compact townsite of about 0.56 square miles, the streets close to Interstate 29, and the farm ground and acreages around it, on the Missouri River valley margin of Fremont County in southwest Iowa.

Questions

Common questions.

Thurman had a tornado in 2012. How can I tell whether a house was repaired well?
After the April 14, 2012 EF-2 tornado, a large share of Thurman's homes needed repair or rebuilding, so repair quality varies from house to house. We look at roof framing connections, attic structure, sheathing and fasteners, flashing, wall and window repairs, and whether the rebuilt portions match the older parts of the house. Ask for permits, contractor records and insurance paperwork. In the basement we check the foundation and moisture. Fremont County is EPA Radon Zone 1, so test for radon, and any private septic needs the Iowa Code 455B.172 transfer inspection.
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.
