Local housing

Homes in Andover.

Andover housing runs to newer subdivisions on former farmland, across the subdivisions and the wetland-edge lots, on sandy soils with wetland edges — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Andover

Andover grew from 3,830 residents in 1970 to 32,601 by 2020, so most homes here date from the last several decades. A full inspection covers the usual systems, but we weigh them with the newer age in mind: builder-grade materials, attic ventilation, exterior flashing, deck attachments and the furnace. How the lot is graded also matters, because drainage decides whether a basement stays dry across this 34-square-mile city.

Questions

Common questions.

What counts as a residential inspection?
Any owner-occupied or rental dwelling — single-family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes and small multi-family up to four units. The full home inspection is the core, and radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging and the rest are available as add-ons when the property calls for them.
Is residential really most of your work?
Yes — roughly 95 percent of Closer Look inspections are residential. It is what we are built around, from century-old capital-city homes to brand-new metro subdivisions.
Which services can be added to a residential inspection?
Any of them: full home, buyer's, pre-listing, radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging, mold and moisture, foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, new-construction, 11-month warranty, well-water and older-home inspections. Specialty services are available as add-ons.
How do I tell whether an Andover house is on a private well and septic?
Ask the seller and check the listing and county records, since utilities vary by neighborhood. If a well or septic system is present, your inspection is a good time to order a septic evaluation and a water test alongside it. Visible equipment can be noted, but the buried components need a specialist. Knowing early avoids surprises at closing and gives you a cleaner negotiation.
Do wetland-edge lots matter in Andover?
They do — seasonal high water tables make sump systems, drain tile and grading the items to verify rather than assume.
