Local conditions in Urbandale
Urbandale began as a streetcar suburb of Des Moines, with its population growing from 298 in 1920 to 45,580 in 2020, and the heaviest growth came in the postwar decades. Houses range from postwar decades to newer subdivisions. In postwar homes, original electrical panels, roofing age, basement walls and drainage are worth a look. In newer homes, grading, finishing and mechanical systems are worth checking. Roof coverings, flashing and attachment also deserve a close look. Our full inspection covers the entire house, top to bottom.
