Roof Inspection in Savage

Roof Inspection in Savage, Scott County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Savage is a south-metro suburb of newer subdivisions on the Minnesota River bluffs.

Local housing

Homes in Savage.

Savage housing runs to newer subdivisions on the river bluffs, across the bluff-side subdivisions, on bluff and river-terrace ground — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Savage

Savage does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Savage 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 Savage-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.
What is usually on the list for a 2000s Savage house?
Settled grading, roof wear at valleys and vents, attic ventilation shortfalls, furnace and water heater approaching end of life, and deck and window flashing. Often the house is in good shape and the list is maintenance. Our report separates safety items from routine upkeep. It also helps to ask the seller for roof, furnace and water heater ages before the visit, so we can compare them with what we see and flag what may need replacing soon.
Are Savage's bluff lots a concern?
Sloped bluff lots make grading, retaining walls and walkout water entry the priorities.
