Roof Inspection in Lehigh

Roof Inspection in Lehigh, Webster County, by Closer Look Inspectors — a 145-minute drive away. Lehigh is a former coal-and-clay town down in the Des Moines River valley, and we calibrate every visit to that.

A roof inspection evaluates the covering, flashing, penetrations and drainage and gives an honest read on remaining service life — including the ice-dam wear and hail bruising Iowa weather leaves behind.

Calibrated

Tuned to Lehigh.

Lehigh housing runs to former coal-and-clay-town homes down in the valley, across the core in the Des Moines River valley, on Des Moines River valley walls with a coal and clay-products legacy — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Lehigh

Lehigh 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. Lehigh sits in Webster 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 42 inches in northern Iowa, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Lehigh visit to find.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you walk the roof?
When the pitch, height and covering allow it safely; otherwise we assess from the eaves and a ladder and note the method used.
What roof problems show up here?
Aging shingles, failed flashing, hail damage and ice-dam wear at the eaves are the recurring findings.
What is specific to Lehigh?
The valley. Lehigh sits down in the Des Moines River gorge where coal and clay were once dug, so hillside lots concentrate runoff against foundations, retaining structures carry real load, and river-adjacent ground gets its flood history established. The older stock adds the full systems-by-age read.
