New Construction Inspection in Scandia
New Construction Inspection in Scandia, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Scandia is a St. Croix Valley township-turned-city with a Swedish settlement dating to 1850, and we calibrate every visit to that.
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.
ScandiaTuned to Scandia.
Scandia housing runs to log and farmhouse survivors from the 1800s, early-1900s farm homes, and a mix of later acreage houses, across the old Hay Lake settlement and Gammelgården area, the farms and barn-quilt roads, and the acreages toward William O'Brien State Park and the St. Croix River, on St. Croix moraine uplands and glacial drift sloping toward the St. Croix River valley — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Scandia
Scandia does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Scandia sits in Washington 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 we calibrate every Scandia visit to find.
