Roof Inspection in Hilltop

Roof Inspection in Hilltop, Anoka County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Hilltop is a 0.12-square-mile city surrounded by Columbia Heights, built around its manufactured-home parks.

A roof inspection evaluates the covering, flashing, penetrations and drainage and gives an honest read on remaining service life — including the ice-dam wear and hail bruising Minnesota weather leaves behind.

Local housing

Homes in Hilltop.

Hilltop housing runs to manufactured and mobile homes in four parks, with about 15 permanent houses and a few multi-unit buildings, across the four manufactured-home parks along Central Avenue, including the original Trailer City park, on a small enclave of about 16 city blocks in southern Anoka County, entirely surrounded by Columbia Heights — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Hilltop

Hilltop does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Hilltop sits in Anoka County, in EPA Radon Zone 2 — a moderate county rating, but MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk, and a county zone never predicts one house. 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 Hilltop-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you walk the roof?
When the pitch, height and covering allow it safely; otherwise we assess from the eaves and a ladder and note the method used.
What roof problems show up here?
Aging shingles, failed flashing, hail damage and ice-dam wear at the eaves are the recurring findings.
Should I test for radon in a manufactured home?
Yes. Anoka County is EPA Radon Zone 2, and the Minnesota Department of Health recommends that every Minnesota home be tested. Manufactured homes sit on piers or blocks, so air can move differently than in a basement house, and the only way to know is to measure. Add a radon test when you request the free instant quote, so you know whether a mitigation contractor would be needed.
What does an inspection of a manufactured home in Hilltop actually cover?
Hilltop grew from trailer parks that began in the 1940s, and most of its residents still live in manufactured homes in four parks. These homes are a different matter from a site-built house. The focus is the tie-downs and piers under the frame, skirting and moisture under the floor, the roof membrane and seams, the plumbing and heat-tape or freeze protection, and the electrical service and add-on decks. Anoka County is EPA Radon Zone 2, and more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk, so testing is worth doing.
