New Construction Inspection in Sharpsburg
New Construction Inspection in Sharpsburg, Taylor County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Sharpsburg is a very small Taylor County town founded in 1884 as a stop on the Burlington railroad, with a post office from 1886 and incorporation in 1905, 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.

Sharpsburg housing runs to a small stock of houses from the 1884 railroad founding and early 1900s, with a peak of 188 residents in 1920, plus a few postwar and newer homes, across the compact townsite of about 0.36 square miles and the farm ground around it, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in Taylor 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 Sharpsburg
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 Sharpsburg home. Sharpsburg sits in Taylor 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 Sharpsburg visit to find.
