Wapello County · Iowa
Home inspection in Ottumwa, Iowa.
Ottumwa is a Wapello County community in southeast Iowa, and buyers and sellers here rely on an independent inspection to know exactly what a home’s condition is. From historic near-downtown homes to new subdivisions, the breadth of housing means no two inspections are quite the same.
Why Ottumwa homeowners get an inspection
Many southeast Iowa homes are decades old, so a careful look at the major systems usually turns up items worth knowing before closing. Radon is a statewide concern — Iowa has the highest average indoor radon levels in the country — so a measured radon test belongs on a Ottumwa inspection regardless of the home’s age.
