Local housing

Homes in Blaine.

Blaine housing runs to newer subdivision homes on former farmland, across the spreading developments north of the metro, on level, sandy-loam sites — and that mix shapes what a electrical inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Blaine

Blaine does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Blaine sits in Anoka 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 Blaine-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

What electrical hazards are common here?
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, surviving fuse boxes, double-tapped breakers, reversed polarity and unpermitted homeowner wiring.
Do you open the panel?
Yes, when it is safe to do so. A look inside the panel is part of every inspection.
Are the houses around The Lakes of Blaine built on fill?
Blaine's published history describes sand from excavated ponds being used to raise the level of building sites in developments such as Knoll Creek, Club West, and Pleasure Creek. That does not mean a house has a problem. It does mean grading, settlement near the foundation, and how the lot drains toward the ponds deserve a careful look on every house in these areas.
Do you cover Blaine?
Yes — its fast newer growth makes new-construction and warranty inspections common here.
