Thermal Imaging in Blockton
Thermal Imaging in Blockton, Taylor County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Blockton is a small Taylor County town founded by Mormons in 1861 as Mormontown, renamed Blockton in 1887 for a Chicago Great Western railway official and incorporated in 1891, and we calibrate every visit to that.
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.

Blockton housing runs to houses from the 1861 settlement and the railroad years that followed, with a peak of 704 residents in 1900, plus postwar homes and later infill, across the compact townsite of about 0.64 square miles just east of the Platte River, and the farm ground around it, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain just east of the Platte River — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Blockton
No Iowa law requires a home inspection before a sale — the one mandatory time-of-transfer inspection covers private septic systems (Iowa Code 455B.172) — which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a Blockton home. Blockton sits in Taylor 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 we calibrate every Blockton visit to find.
