Thermal Imaging in Story City

Thermal Imaging in Story City, Story County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Story City is an I-35 town with a Norwegian heritage core of older homes and newer edge growth, 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.

Tuned to Story City.

Story City housing runs to older Norwegian-heritage core homes with newer edge growth, across the historic core and the I-35-side newer additions, on flat lobe till along the Skunk River headwaters — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Story City

Story City 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. Story City 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 Story City 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 Story City?
Yes — it sits right on our corridor south. The heritage core gets the older-home read on services and foundations; the newer I-35-side growth gets grading verification on flat, tiled till that drains slowly by nature.
