Why Elma homeowners get an inspection
Northeast Iowa’s older housing stock and Driftless-area terrain make grading, drainage, and basement moisture worth a close look. Radon is a statewide concern — Iowa has the highest average indoor radon levels in the country — so a measured radon test belongs on a Elma inspection regardless of the home’s age.
