Residential Inspection in Bloomington

Residential Inspection in Bloomington, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Bloomington is a large first-ring suburb of postwar ramblers with newer redevelopment near the river valley.

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 Bloomington.

Bloomington housing runs to postwar ramblers with newer river-valley redevelopment, across the established neighborhoods and the redeveloping river edge, on level and river-terrace sites — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Bloomington

Bloomington is one of the metro cities that requires a city Time-of-Sale evaluation before a home is sold. That municipal report is a limited disclosure ordered by the seller — it is not your own inspection, does not test radon or scope the sewer, and never works for the buyer. Bloomington sits in Hennepin 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 that Bloomington-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.
How old is the typical Bloomington rambler, and what does that mean for a buyer?
Most were built between the 1950s and early 1960s, during the years the city grew fastest. That means original or partly updated wiring, panels and plumbing, clay or cast-iron sewer lines, and roofs, furnaces and water heaters that have been replaced, or need to be. Many have been remodeled, so the quality of that work deserves as much attention as the original construction.
Do you inspect Bloomington homes?
Yes — its deep postwar stock and the newer redevelopment both get a close, system-by-system read.
