Roof Inspection in Lake Elmo

Roof Inspection in Lake Elmo, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Lake Elmo is a semi-rural east-metro city of acreage homes and new subdivisions.

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 Lake Elmo.

Lake Elmo housing runs to acreage homes and new subdivisions, across the rural acreage and the new development, on rolling till with wetland edges — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Lake Elmo

Out in Lake Elmo, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo-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.
How is a Lake Elmo farmhouse different from a house in a new development?
A farmhouse is likely to have older wiring, mixed plumbing materials, older foundations and additions built at different times, and often a well and septic system. A new-development house is more uniform, but its problems are grading, ventilation and builder-grade materials. We approach each one differently, and we tell you which findings are normal wear for that type of house and which need action.
Do you inspect Lake Elmo acreage properties?
Yes — and on acreage, private wells and septic where present deserve particular attention, plus the outbuildings that often come with the lot.
