11-Month Warranty Inspection in Landfall

11-Month Warranty Inspection in Landfall, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Landfall is a manufactured-home city on Tanners Lake, incorporated in 1959.

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 Landfall.

Landfall housing runs to manufactured homes on a dense, park-style layout, of varied ages, across the whole of the city, a community of under a tenth of a square mile on the east shore of Tanners Lake beside Interstate 94, on glacial drift lowlands beside Tanners Lake in western Washington County — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Landfall

Landfall does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Landfall sits in Washington 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 Landfall-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 age of a manufactured home matter when buying in Landfall?
Yes, because materials, wiring, plumbing and roofing methods differ by decade. Buyers should ask what type of electrical and plumbing the home has, what condition the roof is in, and whether there are signs of past leaks. Older homes with additions, decks or replaced windows get extra attention. Lender and insurer requirements vary, so ask them what they need. The water heater, furnace and any add-on structures are worth a look as well.
What does a home inspector look at in a Landfall manufactured home?
Landfall is one of only two Minnesota cities made up mainly of manufactured housing, and homes here run from older units to newer models. The inspection focuses on what matters for that construction: tie-downs and anchoring, skirting and underbelly condition, roof coating or shingles and seams, window and door sealing, and moisture at floors near bathrooms and kitchens. Wiring, furnace and water heater age, and how each unit is added onto with decks and porches are worth a look. Tight spacing also makes drainage a real concern.
