Residential Inspection in Nevada

Residential Inspection in Nevada, Story County, by Closer Look Inspectors — a 180-minute drive away. Nevada is the Story County seat, a Lincoln Highway town of older homes and newer east-of-Ames growth, and we calibrate every visit to that.

Residential inspection is the heart of Closer Look — close to 95 percent of what we do across Saint Paul, the Twin Cities and greater Iowa. It is the umbrella over every home service we offer, with specialty services available as add-ons: the full home inspection, buyer's and pre-listing reviews, radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging, mold and moisture, foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, new-construction and 11-month-warranty work, well-water testing and older-home evaluations — one trusted, buyer-side read on a Iowa house, photo-mapped and delivered within 24 hours.

Tuned to Nevada.

Nevada housing runs to older Lincoln Highway-era homes and newer east-of-Ames growth, across the historic core and the newer subdivisions, on flat Story County lobe till — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Nevada

Nevada 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. Nevada sits in Story 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 Nevada visit to find.

Questions

Common questions.

What counts as a residential inspection?
Any owner-occupied or rental dwelling — single-family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes and small multi-family up to four units. The full home inspection is the core, and radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging and the rest are available as add-ons when the property calls for them.
Is residential really most of your work?
Yes — roughly 95 percent of Closer Look inspections are residential. It is what we are built around, from century-old capital-city homes to brand-new metro subdivisions.
Which services can be added to a residential inspection?
Any of them: full home, buyer's, pre-listing, radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging, mold and moisture, foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, new-construction, 11-month warranty, well-water and older-home inspections. Specialty services are available as add-ons.
Do you cover Nevada?
Yes — Story County is core service area with no travel fee. The older Lincoln Highway-era core gets the systems-by-age read; the newer growth east of Ames gets grading verification on flat, slow-draining till.
