What Makes Lowden Homes Tougher on Roofs
Lowden is a small city with a big history. Platted in 1857 when the Chicago and North Western Railway was being built, it was named after Loudonville, Ohio, the hometown of one of its early settlers. The town has a population of around 800 people and a median home age of 66 years, meaning many roofs have already weathered generations of Iowa storms. It sits at an elevation of 728 feet in Cedar County, surrounded by farmland, and the area faces a very high tornado risk. Summer thunderstorms roll in across the open fields, winter ice dams are common on older roofs, and spring tornadoes are a real threat. A small leak or a few missing shingles can turn into a big problem fast. A repair today can stop a leak tomorrow.

Spot Hidden Problems with Drone Inspection
Ladders are dangerous. Looking from the ground misses a lot. Our drones fly over every part of your roof and take clear pictures.
What a drone inspection often finds on Lowden roofs:
- Small hail dents from spring and summer storms that could lead to leaks
- Shingles lifted by wind, which lets water get underneath
- Gaps around chimneys in older Longfellow homes
- Standing water on flat roofs near downtown
We show you the photos and explain what they mean. No charge. No pressure.

Don’t Ignore Storm Damage in Lowden
Lowden has seen its share of severe weather. The 2020 derecho brought hurricane-force winds to Cedar County, flattening crops and destroying buildings. The area has had 37 severe weather warnings in the past year alone. Hailstorms in 2025 left dents on roofs across town.
Here’s the problem: hail can bruise shingles without knocking them off. Wind can lift edges and break seals. You might not see damage until water stains your ceiling or mold grows in your attic.
A free drone inspection costs you nothing. It could save you thousands.
