Roland

Local housing

Homes in Roland.

Roland housing runs to older frame farm-town homes, across the town core, on flat lobe till — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Roland

Roland 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. Roland sits in Story 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 Roland-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 Roland?

Yes — northern Story County is squarely in range. Older frame stock and slow-draining till make services, foundations and grading the recurring findings, and every home gets the Iowa radon conversation.
