Split-level home with stone facing on a sloped lot — Thermal Imaging in Latimer, IALatimer
Local housing

Homes in Latimer.

Latimer housing runs to older farm-town homes with postwar additions, across the compact town core, on flat, heavy Des Moines Lobe till around Mason City — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Latimer

Latimer 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. Latimer sits in Franklin 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 Latimer-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 Latimer?
Yes. Around Latimer footings set below the locally required frost depth still see settlement cracks and ice-dam wear, and the flat till that was tiled farm ground drains slowly around town basements.
