Thermal Imaging in Farmington

Thermal Imaging in Farmington, Dakota County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Farmington is a south-metro city of rapid 1990s-2000s subdivision growth around an older core.

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 Farmington.

Farmington housing runs to 1990s-2000s subdivisions around an older core, across the newer subdivisions and the historic downtown, on flat to gently rolling prairie till — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Farmington

Farmington does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Farmington sits in Dakota 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 Farmington-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 is different about buying an older house near Farmington's downtown?
The older houses south of County Highway 50 were built long before the growth years, so they have older foundations, plumbing and wiring, and sometimes several rounds of updates. Foundation, sewer line, panel and wiring, windows, roof and insulation matter here, along with any visible unpermitted work. Expect a longer report than for a house built in the 2000s.
What do Farmington buyers usually ask about?
Whether the 90s-2000s subdivision homes are due for roofs and mechanicals — often they are, and we date each system so you can plan.
