Thermal Imaging in Little Canada

Thermal Imaging in Little Canada, Ramsey County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Little Canada is a second-ring suburb founded by French-Canadian settlers in 1844, on Lake Gervais and I-35E, 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.

Tuned to Little Canada.

Little Canada housing runs to mostly postwar houses from the years after it became a village in 1953, with some older farmhouses, newer townhomes and apartments, across the Lake Gervais east side, the I-35E and I-694 corridors, on rolling glacial upland dotted with small lakes north of St. Paul, including Lake Gervais — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Little Canada

Little Canada does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Little Canada sits in Ramsey 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 we calibrate every Little Canada visit to find.

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.
Little Canada has French-Canadian roots. Are there older houses from that era?
The area began with Benjamin Gervais, who moved north from St. Paul in 1844 and built the first grist mill in Minnesota that was independent of the government. The township was organized as New Canada in 1858 and became a village in 1953, partly to keep neighboring cities from absorbing it. Few houses will trace back to the earliest settlement, so we date each house individually, checking original plumbing, aging roofs and furnaces, and basements near Lake Gervais and low ground. Ramsey County is EPA Radon Zone 1.
