New Construction Inspection in Houston

New Construction Inspection in Houston, Houston County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Houston is a small Root River valley town tucked between wooded limestone bluffs.

A new construction inspection gives a newly built home an independent review before your final walkthrough — because builders miss things, and an outside set of eyes catches them while the fix is still the builder's responsibility.

Local housing

Homes in Houston.

Houston housing runs to older homes on the valley floor, across the Root River valley core, on valley bottomland between wooded limestone bluffs — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Houston

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

Is flooding a factor in Houston?

Valley-floor towns on the Root River carry flood history, so grading, sump systems and past high-water evidence are items that matter alongside the older housing stock.
