Thermal Imaging in Ricketts
Thermal Imaging in Ricketts, Crawford County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Ricketts is a Middle Soldier River railroad town of about a hundred people, platted in 1899, 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.

Ricketts housing runs to a small stock of houses from the 1899 rail town and its early-1900s rebuilding, some vacant or lightly used, with a few later homes, across the small townsite along the old rail line on the Middle Soldier River, and the farm ground around it, on loess-mantled drift plain along the Middle Soldier River in the Southern Iowa Drift Plain — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Ricketts
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 Ricketts home. Ricketts sits in Crawford 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 Ricketts visit to find.
