Residential Inspection in New Sharon

Residential Inspection in New Sharon, Mahaska County, by Closer Look Inspectors. New Sharon is a small farm town of older frame homes north of Oskaloosa.

Residential inspection is the heart of Closer Look — close to 95 percent of what we do across Minnesota and 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 an Iowa house, photo-mapped and delivered within 24 hours.

Local housing

Homes in New Sharon.

New Sharon housing runs to older frame farm-town homes, across the town core, on rolling Mahaska County drift — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in New Sharon

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 New Sharon home. New Sharon sits in Mahaska 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 that New Sharon-area homes face.

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 New Sharon?
Yes — northern Mahaska County is in range. The older frame stock concentrates findings in services, roofs and foundations, and the rolling clay ground adds the drainage and settlement read that leads most southern-Iowa reports.
