Local housing

Homes in Maxwell.

Maxwell housing runs to older frame farm-town homes, across the town core along Indian Creek, on lobe till along the Indian Creek drainage — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Maxwell

Maxwell 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. Maxwell sits in Story 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 Maxwell-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 Maxwell?
Yes — southeast Story County is in range. The older frame stock concentrates its findings in services, roofs and foundations, and lots toward the Indian Creek bottoms get the grading and moisture read first.
