Roof Inspection in Prior Lake

Roof Inspection in Prior Lake, Scott County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Prior Lake is a lake-centered suburb of newer homes and converted lake cottages.

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 Prior Lake.

Prior Lake housing runs to newer homes and converted lake cottages, across the lakeshore and the newer subdivisions, on lake-adjacent rolling till — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Prior Lake

Prior Lake does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Prior Lake sits in Scott 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 Prior Lake-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.
Do zebra mussels affect a house on Prior Lake?
Not the house itself, but they can affect waterfront equipment. Zebra mussels were found in both Upper and Lower Prior Lake in 2009. They can encrust docks, lifts, and intake pipes for lake-water irrigation, so if a property has any, their condition and buildup are worth noting. Ask the seller about lake-related maintenance and whether equipment is included in the sale.
Are Prior Lake's lakeshore homes different?
They are — lakeshore properties bring shoreline drainage, older converted cottages and boathouse structures into the inspection.
