For your protection get a home inspection. Inspection Connection Iowa offers the highest quality home inspection in the entire Des Moines, Iowa area. Our Certified Home Inspectors will spend 2 1/2 to 3 hours thoroughly evaluating all aspects of the property you are purchasing, from the roof to the foundation and all areas in between. We also provide additional radon testing and pest inspections. Be sure to let us know if you’ll be needing these additional services. We want you to come along with us during the course of the inspection. Okay, if you’re a seasoned home buyer it may not be as important that you’re there the entire time. However, if you are new to the home buying process, it’s very important that you’re there from start to finish. We’ll not only inspect the house you’re buying, but we’ll share with you what needs to be maintained and why. You’ll get a real education about your new home. Don’t worry, we’ll explain everything in terms you can understand. We are a “Jargon Free” Company! We provide inspections Monday through Friday and work hard to accommodate you! But we understand not everyone can attend the inspection during the day or week so we offer Limited Saturday inspections by Special Appointment. Our Saturday schedule fills up quickly, so please call us now to let us know as soon as possible if you need a Saturday inspection. We’ll do our best to accommodate you. One of the ways to judge the quality and professionalism of the work done by a home inspector is to take a look at their inspection report, which is why we provide sample inspection reports right on our website for your review. Visit our website or call one of our friendly Customer Care Coordinators to schedule your next home inspection.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, home inspections do not check for asbestos because of the liability factor involved. That’s why you should hire a trained professional with specialized equipment to test for it. 

They will inspect all areas of the home and take samples of various materials to test. Opting for an asbestos inspection can prevent the risk of exposure to this hazardous material and save on costly repairs that may be required. 

Homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover foundation cracks. They are considered normal wear and tear that every home undergoes. Your foundation in general is likely covered for things like fire and water damage, but most companies don’t insure damage caused by settling, shifting soil, earthquakes, and floods, which commonly lead to foundation cracks.

You can determine if your ductwork needs rerouting by looking for common signs of issues. Uneven heating or cooling in different areas of your home, unusual noises from the ducts, and a noticeable increase in energy bills may all indicate problems with your duct system. Additionally, if you've recently renovated or there are structural changes in your home, it's a good idea to assess whether your current ductwork layout is still efficient. 

If you’re in the market, you might think twice before buying a home with a cesspool on the property. You’ll need to factor in the costs of either maintaining the cesspool (such as with aeration, pumping, and cleaning) or dismantling the system and replacing it with a septic tank or sewage line connection. It might still be a good idea to buy that home, but you’ll need to decide for yourself if the costs and hassle are worth it.

The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency

A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.
