Residential Inspection in Shoreview

Residential Inspection in Shoreview, Ramsey County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Shoreview is a lake-rich northern suburb of mid-century and newer homes among the wetlands.

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 Shoreview.

Shoreview housing runs to mid-century and newer homes among the wetlands, across the lake-and-wetland neighborhoods, on lake-adjacent, high-water-table sites — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Shoreview

Shoreview does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Shoreview sits in Ramsey 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 Shoreview-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.
Is a rambler from the 1960s in Shoreview worth the repairs it will probably need?
It depends on what the inspection finds. In homes of that era we usually check the original electrical panel, galvanized or older copper supply lines, the sewer lateral, attic insulation and the windows. Many are sound and simply need updates, and the layout is popular. The report ranks each item by urgency, so you can separate a cosmetic wish list from things that need attention before closing.
Do high water tables near Shoreview affect basements?
They can — we look closely at sump pumps, drain tile and basement moisture on these lake-and-wetland lots.
