Why Carter Lake homeowners get an inspection
Southwest Iowa’s rolling-prairie towns blend older homes with newer construction, and grading and drainage deserve attention on either. Radon is a statewide concern — Iowa has the highest average indoor radon levels in the country — so a measured radon test belongs on a Carter Lake inspection regardless of the home’s age.
