Residential Inspection in Blaine

Residential Inspection in Blaine, Anoka County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Blaine is a northern suburb of newer subdivision homes spreading across former farmland.

Residential inspection is the heart of Closer Look — close to 95 percent of what we do across Saint Paul, the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota. It is the umbrella over every home service we offer, with specialty services available as add-ons: the full home inspection, buyer's and pre-listing reviews, radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging, mold and moisture, foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, new-construction and 11-month-warranty work, well-water testing and older-home evaluations — one trusted, buyer-side read on a Minnesota house, photo-mapped and delivered within 24 hours.

Local housing

Homes in Blaine.

Blaine housing runs to newer subdivision homes on former farmland, across the spreading developments north of the metro, on level, sandy-loam sites — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Blaine

Blaine does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Blaine 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 Blaine-area homes face.

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.
Which parts of Blaine have the oldest houses?
The city's history says postwar starter-home developments began in the southern and eastern parts of town, so the oldest housing clusters there. Blaine had 1,694 residents in 1950 and 20,573 by 1970, which means a lot of homes date to the 1950s and 1960s. Most of the city's growth since then is newer, so a Blaine buyer might be looking at anything from those early houses to recent construction.
Do you cover Blaine?
Yes — its fast newer growth makes new-construction and warranty inspections common here.
