Residential Inspection in Greenfield

Residential Inspection in Greenfield, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Greenfield is a Crow River township-turned-city of acreage homes and farmsteads on the Hennepin and Wright County line.

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 Greenfield.

Greenfield housing runs to rural farmsteads and acreage homes, with houses of many ages built since the township became a city in 1958, across the Highway 55 corridor, the acreages along the Crow River, and the land around Lake Rebecca Park Reserve on the southwestern edge, on loamy Des Moines-lobe moraine of the Big Woods, cut by the Crow River where Hennepin County meets Wright — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Greenfield

Greenfield does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Greenfield 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 Greenfield-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.
Greenfield sits on the Hennepin and Wright County line. Which county covers my house?
A property inside the City of Greenfield is in Hennepin County, since the city lies in the northwestern part of the county, and the Crow River marks the line with Wright County. Homes across the river are in other cities. Check the parcel record before you assume, because county and city determine permit history, taxes, and who you call for records.
What should I know about wells and septic systems on a Greenfield acreage?
Greenfield is a large, rural-feeling city and Census data shows nearly all of its homes are owner-occupied. Many properties are acreages, and where a house is on a private well and septic system, those deserve early attention: a water test for the well and a septic evaluation, along with the condition of the pump, pressure tank and drain field surface. Greenfield was Greenwood Township until it became a city in 1958, so some homes and outbuildings predate modern codes. Add a radon test: more than two in five Minnesota homes test above 4.0 pCi/L.
