New Construction Inspection in Lexington

New Construction Inspection in Lexington, Anoka County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Lexington is a small, dense postwar city of compact homes on quarter-acre lots.

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 Lexington.

Lexington housing runs to small postwar homes on a tight grid, across the compact grid off Lake Drive, on flat sandy till — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Lexington

Lexington does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Lexington 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 Lexington-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 a high water table a problem for houses on the sand plain in Lexington?
It can be. The Anoka Sand Plain is flat, and Lexington's history notes early wet conditions. Sand drains well, but a flat lot leaves little slope to carry water away from the foundation, so groundwater and surface water can both matter. The sump pit and pump, the discharge location, grading and downspouts matter, as do staining or efflorescence on basement walls. A dry basement on inspection day is not the same as a dry basement in spring melt.
Do you cover Lexington?
Yes — one of the metro's smallest cities, and its compact postwar stock gets the same full instrumented inspection as any larger suburb.
