11-Month Warranty Inspection in Farmington

11-Month Warranty Inspection in Farmington, Dakota County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Farmington is a south-metro city of rapid 1990s-2000s subdivision growth around an older core.

An 11-month warranty inspection times a full review to the end of a builder's first-year warranty — so the settlement cracks, nail pops and grading issues a first Minnesota winter reveals get repaired on the builder's dime.

Local housing

Homes in Farmington.

Farmington housing runs to 1990s-2000s subdivisions around an older core, across the newer subdivisions and the historic downtown, on flat to gently rolling prairie till — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Farmington

Farmington does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Farmington sits in Dakota County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Farmington-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

When exactly do I schedule it?
Around month eleven, leaving time to file the report before the one-year warranty closes.
What does it find?
Issues a full freeze-thaw cycle exposes — cracking, nail pops, and HVAC and grading items.
Does the Vermillion River affect homes in Farmington?
It affects drainage in low areas near the river and its trail corridor. Grading, gutters, sump pumps and basement walls are worth watching for evidence of water, and where it shows up matters. Flood mapping and insurance questions are outside an inspection, so check with your lender and the city.
What do Farmington buyers usually ask about?
Whether the 90s-2000s subdivision homes are due for roofs and mechanicals — often they are, and we date each system so you can plan.
