Foundation Inspection in Jordan

Foundation Inspection in Jordan, Scott County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Jordan is a river-valley town of historic homes tucked below the bluffs.

A foundation inspection reads a home's structure — poured concrete, block and the grading around it — for cracking, movement, settlement and water entry, so you know whether a crack is cosmetic or a genuine budget line.

Local housing

Homes in Jordan.

Jordan housing runs to historic homes below the bluffs, across the valley core, on river-valley bottomland below steep bluffs — and that mix shapes what a foundation inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Jordan

Out in Jordan, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Jordan sits in Scott 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 Jordan-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Are foundation cracks always serious?
No. We separate routine settlement cracking from active structural movement and explain which one you are looking at.
What is common in Minnesota foundations?
Block and poured walls with frost and settlement cracking, and water entry that traces back to grading and downspouts.
Does Sand Creek create wet-basement risk in Jordan?
It can for homes in low spots. Grading, gutters, downspouts and sump pump operation matter, as do staining, efflorescence, and past water in basements and crawl spaces. Old houses may also have stone walls that seep a little. Evidence of past water is worth recording, and flood maps are checked separately by your lender.
Does bluff runoff affect Jordan homes?
It does — water coming off the bluffs concentrates in the valley, so grading, drainage and basement moisture are the items that matter most.
