New Construction Inspection in Swan

New Construction Inspection in Swan, Marion County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Swan is a nearly emptied Marion County village of older homes surveyed in 1887, 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.

Tuned to Swan.

Swan housing runs to a handful of older frame homes on the 1887 survey grid, across the few remaining blocks of the platted town and the surrounding Marion County farm ground, on rolling loess-mantled clay of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in Marion County's old mining belt — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Swan

Iowa runs no municipal time-of-sale inspection ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a Swan home. Swan sits in Marion County, and Iowa has the highest average indoor radon level of any state — the Iowa DNR puts roughly five in ten Iowa homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level, and Iowa sellers must disclose known radon results on the property disclosure. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Footings here are set below a frost line of roughly 36 to 42 inches, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Swan visit to find.

Questions

Common questions.

Why inspect a brand-new home?
Even new homes carry defects — flashing, grading and rushed finish work are common. Catch them before you close.
When should it happen?
Before your final walkthrough, so the items land on the builder's punch list.
Can you still get a home inspection in a place as small as Swan?
Yes. Swan is inside our Montezuma team's range and a property here gets the same scope as one in a larger town. Swan was surveyed in December 1887 and had close to 300 residents by 1910; it is far smaller now, and its city council voted in April 2025 to disincorporate, so a buyer should confirm current municipal status, services and who maintains the street with the county before closing. The inspection itself covers structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating and drainage, and Marion County is EPA Radon Zone 1.
