Roof Inspection in Shoreview

Roof Inspection in Shoreview, Ramsey County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Shoreview is a lake-rich northern suburb of mid-century and newer homes among the wetlands.

Local housing

Homes in Shoreview.

Shoreview housing runs to mid-century and newer homes among the wetlands, across the lake-and-wetland neighborhoods, on lake-adjacent, high-water-table sites — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Shoreview

Shoreview does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Shoreview 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 Shoreview-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 lakeshore homes in Shoreview need anything extra during an inspection?
Yes. Beyond the house, the shoreline side matters: retaining walls, erosion, deck footings and drainage toward the water. Water levels and soils change from lot to lot, so signs of past moisture in crawlspaces and lower walls are worth noting. A lakeside home can also have older docks, boathouses or sheds. We report what we can see and reach on the day, and note anything that needs a specialist such as a structural engineer.
Do high water tables near Shoreview affect basements?
They can — we look closely at sump pumps, drain tile and basement moisture on these lake-and-wetland lots.
