Electrical Inspection in Des Moines
An electrical inspection assesses a home's service, panel and visible wiring for safety — from modern equipment to the recalled brands, original fuse boxes and amateur junction-box wiring that turn up in older homes.
Our Des Moines partner inspector is based in Des Moines and covers the metro and every town within a 30-mile radius — West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, Altoona, Clive, Grimes, Norwalk, Indianola, Adel, Winterset, Perry, Colfax and the small towns between them. The stock runs from Victorian and early-1900s homes in the older city neighborhoods to postwar ranches and the 1990s-2020s subdivisions of the fast-growing suburbs. Every inspection is photo-mapped and delivered within 24 hours.

Local conditions in Des Moines
Des Moines sits on Des Moines Lobe till — heavy, poorly drained clay that holds water against foundations and moves with moisture, which is what drives basement seepage and foundation cracking across central Iowa. Des Moines sits in Polk 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 we calibrate every Des Moines visit to find.
