11-Month Warranty Inspection in Harris

11-Month Warranty Inspection in Harris, Chisago County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Harris is a St. Paul & Duluth Railroad town on the I-35 corridor, platted in 1873, with farm acreage around it, and we calibrate every visit to that.

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.

Calibrated

Tuned to Harris.

Harris housing runs to older houses near the old railroad townsite, farmhouses, and newer acreage builds across a city of about 20 sq. mi., across the small commercial strip and townsite off Interstate 35, and the large rural area of farms and acreages around it, on glacial-drift country of Chisago County, along the I-35 corridor — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Harris

Harris does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Harris sits in Chisago County, in EPA Radon Zone 2 — a moderate county rating, but MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk, and a county zone never predicts one house. 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 we calibrate every Harris visit to find.

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 a buyer expect from a large, rural city like Harris?
Harris was platted in 1873 for the St. Paul and Duluth Railroad and incorporated in 1883, but its 20 sq. mi. are mostly farm and acreage ground. Most homes outside the townsite rely on private wells and septic systems, so those are on our list along with the roof, wiring and foundation. On acreage properties we also look at outbuildings, drainage across the lot and the age of heating systems. Chisago County is EPA Radon Zone 2, and it falls in the 3-1/2 foot Zone II frost depth.
