Local housing

Homes in Solon.

Solon housing runs to a mix of nineteenth-century and early-1900s town houses and a large recent layer — the town grew about 48 percent between 2010 and 2020, across the older platted town around the main street, the newer subdivisions built out around it, and the lake-adjacent property toward Lake Macbride, on Johnson County ground between the Iowa River corridor and the Coralville reservoir drainage, gently rolling with loess over till — and that mix shapes what a hvac inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Solon

No Iowa law requires a home inspection before a sale — the one mandatory time-of-transfer inspection covers private septic systems (Iowa Code 455B.172) — which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a Solon home. Solon sits in Johnson County, and every Iowa county is EPA Radon Zone 1. Iowa HHS reports Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level of any state — 71.6 percent in the Iowa Radon Survey — and the Iowa seller disclosure form asks for any known radon test results. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Iowa leaves frost depth to the local building code rather than one statewide number, and the annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear that Solon-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Will you run the furnace and AC?
Yes, when conditions allow. We do not run air conditioning in freezing weather, and we note when that limits the test.
When is a furnace too old?
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years. We report the unit's age, condition and any safety concern, including heat-exchanger cracks.
Does lake-area property near Solon need anything extra looked at?
Yes, and it splits two ways. Solon was platted in 1840 and incorporated April 28, 1877 but grew 48.2 percent between 2010 and 2020, so you are choosing between genuinely old town houses and near-new subdivision construction — and near Lake Macbride State Park, between year-round houses and buildings that began as seasonal. Anything converted from seasonal use gets checked stage by stage: original footings, later insulation, added heat and plumbing, and whether the crawlspace was ever sealed. Private wells and septic outside town get their own evaluations.
