Roof Inspection in Lehigh

Roof Inspection in Lehigh, Webster County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Lehigh is a former coal-and-clay town down in the Des Moines River valley.

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.

Local housing

Homes in 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.

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 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 Lehigh-area homes face.

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.
