New Construction Inspection in Kellerton
New Construction Inspection in Kellerton, Ringgold County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Kellerton is the first Ringgold County town platted by a railroad, started after the Leon, Mount Ayr and Southwestern arrived in 1879 and incorporated in December 1881, and we calibrate every visit to that.
A new construction inspection gives a newly built home an independent review before your final walkthrough — because builders miss things, and an outside set of eyes catches them while the fix is still the builder's responsibility.

Kellerton housing runs to houses from the railroad years after 1879, a peak of 693 residents in 1920 per the Census, and a mix of postwar and later homes, across the older residential blocks near the original railroad townsite and the Iowa Highway 2 corridor, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in eastern Ringgold County — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Kellerton
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 Kellerton home. Kellerton sits in Ringgold 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 Kellerton visit to find.
