Local housing

Homes in Jewell.

Jewell housing runs to older rail-town housing, across the town core, on flat, heavily tiled lobe till — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Jewell

Jewell 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. Jewell sits in Hamilton 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 Jewell-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.
Do you cover Jewell?
Yes — Hamilton County is midway along our corridor. Flat lobe prairie was drained by tile to farm at all, and town lots share that slow natural drainage, so grading and basement moisture lead most reports here.
