11-Month Warranty Inspection in Shafer

11-Month Warranty Inspection in Shafer, Chisago County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Shafer is a small farm town of older homes and new growth near the St. Croix valley.

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 Shafer.

Shafer housing runs to older farm-town homes and new growth, across the old town core and the newer subdivisions toward Highway 8, on rolling ground on the edge of the St. Croix valley — and that mix shapes what a 11-month warranty inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Shafer

Out in Shafer, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Shafer 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 that Shafer-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.
Do I need a radon test in Shafer if Chisago County is Zone 2?
Yes. EPA lists Chisago County as Zone 2, which is a moderate potential, but radon varies house by house and only a test shows your level. MDH recommends that every Minnesota home be tested. Testing during the inspection period gives you a result before closing, when any mitigation can be part of the deal, and older basements are worth testing.
Do you cover Shafer?
Yes — both the older farm-town core and the newer subdivision growth get a full local inspection.
