11-Month Warranty Inspection in Greenfield

11-Month Warranty Inspection in Greenfield, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Greenfield is a Crow River township-turned-city of acreage homes and farmsteads on the Hennepin and Wright County line.

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 Greenfield.

Greenfield housing runs to rural farmsteads and acreage homes, with houses of many ages built since the township became a city in 1958, across the Highway 55 corridor, the acreages along the Crow River, and the land around Lake Rebecca Park Reserve on the southwestern edge, on loamy Des Moines-lobe moraine of the Big Woods, cut by the Crow River where Hennepin County meets Wright — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Greenfield

Greenfield does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Greenfield sits in Hennepin 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 Greenfield-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.
What should I inspect on a Greenfield farmstead besides the house?
Everything that shares the property: garages and shops, barns and sheds, the roof and foundation of each building, electrical service to outbuildings, and drainage between them. The house comes first, and outbuildings are noted as seen during the visit. If a building matters to your plans, tell us before the appointment so we can allow time for it.
What should I know about wells and septic systems on a Greenfield acreage?
Greenfield is a large, rural-feeling city and Census data shows nearly all of its homes are owner-occupied. Many properties are acreages, and where a house is on a private well and septic system, those deserve early attention: a water test for the well and a septic evaluation, along with the condition of the pump, pressure tank and drain field surface. Greenfield was Greenwood Township until it became a city in 1958, so some homes and outbuildings predate modern codes. Add a radon test: more than two in five Minnesota homes test above 4.0 pCi/L.
