Thermal Imaging in Creston

Thermal Imaging in Creston, Union County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Creston is a railroad division-point city of Victorian and early-1900s homes on the southern hills.

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 Creston.

Creston housing runs to Victorian and early-1900s railroad-division housing, across the historic core near the depot and the hillside neighborhoods, on rolling southern-drift hills at the summit of the old Burlington grade — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Creston

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 Creston home. Creston sits in Union 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 Creston-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 comes up most in Creston homes?
A railroad city's worth of century homes — Creston was the Burlington's division point, and its boom decades left original panels, layered wiring, aging clay laterals worth scoping and foundations settled into the clay hills. We date every major system, and the 48-hour radon test rides along; Union County is Zone 1 like all of Iowa.
