HVAC Inspection in Clive

HVAC Inspection in Clive, Polk County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Clive is a west-metro suburb strung along Walnut Creek, mixing 1960s-70s stock with newer western additions, and we calibrate every visit to that.

An HVAC inspection — a furnace inspection and air-conditioner check in one visit — covers a home's furnace, air conditioner, ductwork and controls for age, condition and safety — including the cracked heat exchangers that show up in aging Iowa furnaces.

Tuned to Clive.

Clive housing runs to 1960s-70s stock in the east grading to newer construction west, across the older eastern blocks near Walnut Creek and the newer western additions, on Walnut Creek valley cut into lobe till — and that mix shapes what a hvac inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Clive

Clive sits on Des Moines Lobe till — heavy, poorly drained clay that holds water against foundations and moves with moisture, which is what drives basement seepage and foundation cracking across central Iowa. Clive sits in Polk County, and Iowa has the highest average indoor radon level of any state — the Iowa DNR puts roughly five in ten Iowa homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level, and Iowa sellers must disclose known radon results on the property disclosure. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Footings here are set below a frost line of roughly 36 to 42 inches, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Clive visit to find.

Questions

Common questions.

Will you run the furnace and AC?
Yes, when conditions allow. We do not run air conditioning in freezing weather, and we note when that limits the test.
When is a furnace too old?
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years. We report the unit's age, condition and any safety concern, including heat-exchanger cracks.
Is Clive's creek corridor a factor?
It is. The city is strung along Walnut Creek, which has real flood history, so for lower-lying lots we establish grading, past water intrusion and sump performance first. The east side adds 50-60-year-old mechanicals and original services; the west side is newer stock where we verify build quality instead.
