HVAC Inspection in Story City

HVAC Inspection in Story City, Story County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Story City is an I-35 town with a Norwegian heritage core of older homes and newer edge growth.

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.

Local housing

Homes in Story City.

Story City housing runs to older Norwegian-heritage core homes with newer edge growth, across the historic core and the I-35-side newer additions, on flat lobe till along the Skunk River headwaters — and that mix shapes what a hvac inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Story City

Story City 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. Story City sits in Story County, and every Iowa county is EPA Radon Zone 1. Iowa HHS reports Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level of any state — 71.6 percent in the Iowa Radon Survey — and the Iowa seller disclosure form asks for any known radon test results. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Iowa leaves frost depth to the local building code rather than one statewide number, and the annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear that Story City-area homes face.

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.
Do you cover Story City?
Yes — it sits right on our corridor south. The heritage core gets the older-home read on services and foundations; the newer I-35-side growth gets grading verification on flat, tiled till that drains slowly by nature.
