Two-story home with gabled roof and attached two-car garage — Roof Inspection in Spencer, IASpencer
Local housing

Homes in Spencer.

Spencer housing runs to postwar and newer neighborhoods around an older core, across the historic core and the newer subdivisions, on northwest-Iowa till — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Spencer

Spencer 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. Spencer sits in Clay 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 Spencer-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 inspect in Spencer?
Yes — northwest Iowa is within our service range. Both the older core and the newer subdivisions get a full instrumented inspection.
