CEDAR RAPIDS - Housing inspectors in Cedar Rapids were handing out more of those colored placards that announce how much damage the flood caused on Tuesday. Another round of inspections has started for homes in the flood ravaged areas.

The good news is inspectors were able to get a complete view of some homes, and the damage wasn't as bad as first thought. But the bad news, is that in some homes the damage is worse than they first thought.

The city says there are now 4,700 homes impacted by the flood. Inspectors have already looked at each of those homes once. But, things have changed in the last two weeks.

On Tuesday, those inspectors took a second look at Chuck Woodward's home in the Rompot neighborhood.

"You may find that foundations do actually cave in days after the flood waters have receded from the basement and went back down through the floor drains," said Mike Feuerbach, city inspector.

Woodward asked the inspectors to come back to see if his house had gotten worse. And it had, there are more cracks in the foundation than before.

"It gets depressing after a while. I don't spend 20 hours here working on it everyday. That would be too much, you'd be too tired, too worn out," said Chuch Woodward, homeowner.

Inspectors just updated Woodward's placard, it's still yellow meaning he can't live here yet. He's lucky, the city says they've had to change some homes from limited entry to no entry at all.

"Hopefully it does give a little piece of mind to the homeowner that I can retrieve my items out of here, or that maybe it's not safe," said Feuerbach.

City officials say fixing up a yellow home to make it liveable, usually takes a lot of work, among that work is getting a furnace and water heater reconnected.
