Residential Inspection in Plymouth

Residential Inspection in Plymouth, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Plymouth is a sprawling northwest suburb of newer subdivisions wrapped around a chain of lakes.

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 Plymouth.

Plymouth housing runs to newer subdivisions around a chain of lakes, across the lake neighborhoods and master-planned developments, on lake-adjacent and rolling sites — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Plymouth

Plymouth does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Plymouth 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 Plymouth-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 should I look at in a Plymouth house near Medicine Lake or Parkers Lake?
Water management comes first. Soil should slope away from the house, the sump pump should work with a proper discharge, and basement walls should show no staining or efflorescence. Where a home has a retaining wall, dock or shoreline work, its condition from what is visible is worth noting. Lake lots can be wonderful and dry, and the inspection tells you which kind you are buying.
Do you serve Plymouth?
Yes — newer subdivision homes and lake-area properties alike.
