New Construction Inspection in Keokuk
New Construction Inspection in Keokuk, Lee County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Keokuk is the Lee County city founded in 1832 and incorporated in 1848, at the confluence of the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers in the state's extreme southeast corner, 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.

Keokuk housing runs to houses from the decades after 1832, the Victorian homes of the 1850s onward, a large stock from the years around the city's 1930 peak of 15,106 residents, and later infill, across the Park Place-Grand Avenue Residential District up to Rand Park and the downtown river blocks, on bottomland where the Des Moines River meets the Mississippi, at the southeastern edge of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Keokuk
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 Keokuk home. Keokuk sits in Lee 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 Keokuk visit to find.
