Roof Inspection in North Saint Paul

Roof Inspection in North Saint Paul, Ramsey County, by Closer Look Inspectors. North Saint Paul is a compact older suburb of pre-war and postwar homes.

Local housing

Homes in North Saint Paul.

North Saint Paul housing runs to pre-war and early postwar homes on a tight grid, across the compact older neighborhoods around the historic core, on flat to gently rolling till — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in North Saint Paul

North Saint Paul does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. North Saint Paul 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 North Saint Paul-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.
Does Ramsey County's radon zone apply to North Saint Paul homes?
Yes. Ramsey County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, and the Minnesota Department of Health recommends that every Minnesota home be tested. Older houses with stone or block foundations may have more cracks and openings, but any basement can have elevated levels. A short-term test during the inspection is an easy first step, and it can be repeated if the result is close to the action level.
Should I scope the sewer on a North Saint Paul home?
Usually worth it. The older grid means clay laterals of a vintage that cracks and separates, and the mature boulevard trees along these streets are exactly what finds those joints. The scope costs far less than the dig.
