Questions

Common questions.

West Burlington grew from 1,206 residents in 1910 to a peak of 3,371 in 1980. What should I look for in mid-1900s houses?
Houses built in the mid-1900s have their own typical issues. We check basement walls and floors for cracking and moisture, roof age, the electrical panel and branch wiring, original plumbing and water heater, furnace and air conditioning age, window condition and any additions. We also look at grade and where downspouts discharge. Lots vary, so confirm whether a property is on city sewer or a private system; private septic needs a time-of-transfer inspection under Iowa Code 455B.172. Des Moines County is EPA Radon Zone 1, so a radon test belongs in the review.
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.
