What this means for your home
Idalou has been a farm-service town for over a century, so many lots and outbuildings are older. Older slabs may have settled, which makes leveling worth asking about before replacement.
Heavy farm and pickup traffic on driveways is common here, so ask about slab thickness. HomeAdvisor notes six or eight inches is desirable for heavy vehicles.
