New Construction Inspection in Arlington

New Construction Inspection in Arlington, Sibley County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Arlington is a small southern prairie town of older housing.

Two-story home with gabled roof and attached two-car garage — New Construction Inspection in Arlington, MNArlington
Local housing

Homes in Arlington.

Arlington housing runs to older prairie-town housing with postwar additions, across the town core and the newer edges, on flat prairie clay — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Arlington

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

Questions

Common questions.

Why inspect a brand-new home?
Even new homes carry defects — flashing, grading and rushed finish work are common. Catch them before you close.
When should it happen?
Before your final walkthrough, so the items land on the builder's punch list.
What should Arlington buyers know?
Older small-town homes tend to carry one or two big deferred items rather than many small ones — a service that needs upgrading, a foundation that has moved, a roof at end of life. Finding which one is the job.
