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

Homes in Malcom.

Malcom housing runs to early-1900s farm-town homes with scattered postwar additions, across the compact town core, on rolling loess-mantled till of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Malcom

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 Malcom home. Malcom sits in Poweshiek 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 Malcom-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 Malcom?
Yes. Around Malcom the heavy drift-plain clay holds water against foundations, so basement seepage and settlement cracks get a hard look, along with the original wiring and plumbing common in early-1900s homes.
