Thermal Imaging in Pacific Junction

Thermal Imaging in Pacific Junction, Mills County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Pacific Junction is a tiny Mills County town established by the railroad in 1871 and incorporated in 1882, the western terminus of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, 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.

Pacific Junction homes are inspected by a local partner in our Iowa network.  ·  Call or text (563) 517-7815

Tuned to Pacific Junction.

Pacific Junction housing runs to houses from the railroad years after 1871 up to the early 1900s, when the town had just over 700 people, with many homes lost after the March 2019 flood and a small stock of surviving and rebuilt houses, across the compact townsite of about 0.76 square miles, the old railroad corridor, and the levee-protected bottomland around it, on the Missouri River floodplain in Mills County, behind levees that failed in the March 2019 flood — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Pacific Junction

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 Pacific Junction home. Pacific Junction sits in Mills 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 Pacific Junction 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.
Pacific Junction flooded in March 2019. What should I check in a surviving house?
The Mills County levees failed on March 17, 2019 and the whole town flooded, so any house here deserves a close look at its flood history. Ask for documentation of repairs, permits and insurance or buyout history. We look for water lines, replaced drywall and trim, repaired or replaced mechanical equipment, corroded electrical components, musty or damp crawl spaces and basements, and signs of foundation movement. Check the lot's flood map status. Mills County is EPA Radon Zone 1, and any private septic needs an Iowa Code 455B.172 transfer inspection.
