Thermal Imaging in Numa
Thermal Imaging in Numa, Appanoose County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Numa is a small Appanoose County coal-mining town laid out in 1871 and incorporated in 1909, home to the Numa Block Coal Company, 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.

NumaTuned to Numa.
Numa housing runs to houses from the coal years after 1871, with homes from the 1910 peak of 659 residents, company-town houses from the 1911 Martinstown mine, and postwar and later homes, across the small townsite of about 0.44 square miles and the former Martinstown company-town area, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in Appanoose County — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Numa
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 Numa home. Numa sits in Appanoose 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 we calibrate every Numa visit to find.
