Thermal Imaging in Big Lake

Thermal Imaging in Big Lake, Sherburne County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Big Lake is a Northstar-corridor lake town of 1990s-2000s subdivisions on sandy outwash.

Infrared thermal imaging uses a calibrated thermal camera to surface hidden moisture, missing insulation and overheating electrical connections — available as an add-on or as a stand-alone thermal imaging inspection.

Local housing

Homes in Big Lake.

Big Lake housing runs to 1990s-2000s subdivisions around the lakes, across the Big Lake and Mitchell Lake neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions near the Northstar station, on flat sandy outwash of the Anoka Sand Plain — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Big Lake

Out in Big Lake, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Big Lake sits in Sherburne County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Big Lake-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you offer thermal imaging?
Yes. Infrared scanning is available as an add-on.
What does it actually find?
Moisture tracking behind finishes, gaps in insulation, and hot electrical connections that are invisible to the naked eye.
What should I check on a lakeshore lot in Big Lake?
Start with drainage: how water moves across the lot, whether gutters discharge away from the foundation and whether a sump pump is present and working. Then the foundation and basement for moisture and any retaining walls or docks and shore structures you ask us to note. Shoreland and water-level questions belong with the city or DNR, and we will point out anything that seems to need them.
Is radon a concern in Big Lake?
Yes — sandy, highly permeable outwash soils move soil gas readily, and Sherburne County sits in EPA Zone 1. We recommend testing every home here, new construction included.
