Roof Inspection in Mount Ayr

Roof Inspection in Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Mount Ayr is a small county seat on some of southern Iowa's highest rolling ground.

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 Mount Ayr.

Mount Ayr housing runs to older square-town homes on high ground, across the square district and the outer blocks, on high rolling loess-mantled hills of the southern divide — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Mount Ayr

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 Mount Ayr home. Mount Ayr sits in Ringgold 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 Mount Ayr-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.
Do you cover Mount Ayr?
Yes — Ringgold County marks the southwest edge of our range, and the inspection is the same full instrumented read. High, rolling clay ground makes slope drainage and foundation movement the leading items on the older square-town stock.
