Residential Inspection in Staples

Residential Inspection in Staples, Todd County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Staples is a railroad town of early-1900s homes on flat sandy outwash.

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 Staples.

Staples housing runs to early-1900s railroad-town homes, across the older grid near the rail yard, on flat sandy outwash plain — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Staples

Out in Staples, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Staples sits in Todd 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 five-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 require in the state's northern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Staples-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 common in Staples homes?
Early-1900s railroad-era stock with original systems, and sandy permeable soils that make radon testing worthwhile despite good natural drainage.
