Thermal Imaging in Maxwell

Thermal Imaging in Maxwell, Story County, by Closer Look Inspectors — a 190-minute drive away. Maxwell is a small Indian Creek farm town of older frame homes southeast of Ames, and we calibrate every visit to that.

Thermal imaging uses an infrared camera to surface hidden moisture, missing insulation and overheating electrical connections — and it is available on Closer Look inspections.

Tuned to 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. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

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 Iowa has the highest average indoor radon level of any state — the Iowa DNR puts roughly five in ten Iowa homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level, and Iowa sellers must disclose known radon results on the property disclosure. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Footings here are set below a frost line of roughly 36 to 42 inches, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Maxwell 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.
Do you cover Maxwell?
Yes — southeast Story County is in range with no travel fee. 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.
