Residential Inspection in Landfall

Residential Inspection in Landfall, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Landfall is a manufactured-home city on Tanners Lake, incorporated in 1959.

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 Landfall.

Landfall housing runs to manufactured homes on a dense, park-style layout, of varied ages, across the whole of the city, a community of under a tenth of a square mile on the east shore of Tanners Lake beside Interstate 94, on glacial drift lowlands beside Tanners Lake in western Washington County — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Landfall

Landfall does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Landfall sits in Washington 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 Landfall-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.
What is different about inspecting a manufactured home in Landfall?
Construction, mostly. Common trouble spots include the steel frame and support system, the skirting and ventilation under the home, tie-downs, the floor and subfloor, and the roof and seams. These homes can be affected by moisture from below, so soft floors and staining are worth looking for. Exterior lighting, steps and skirting also take a lot of wear.

What does a home inspector look at in a Landfall manufactured home?
Landfall is one of only two Minnesota cities made up mainly of manufactured housing, and homes here run from older units to newer models. The inspection focuses on what matters for that construction: tie-downs and anchoring, skirting and underbelly condition, roof coating or shingles and seams, window and door sealing, and moisture at floors near bathrooms and kitchens. Wiring, furnace and water heater age, and how each unit is added onto with decks and porches are worth a look. Tight spacing also makes drainage a real concern.
