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 plumbing 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.

What plumbing problems are typical?
Aging and rusted water heaters, missing TPR discharge lines, corroded shutoff valves and slow fixture leaks.
Do you check water pressure?
Yes — functional flow and pressure at the fixtures are part of the inspection.
Should I test for radon in a Lexington home?
Yes, it is worth doing. Anoka County is EPA Radon Zone 2, and the Minnesota Department of Health recommends every Minnesota home be tested. Results vary house by house, and slab-on-grade or basement foundations both can be affected. A short-term test can be run during the inspection period. If the number comes back high, a mitigation system with a vent pipe and fan is the standard fix, and it is worth pricing before you close.
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.
