Roof Inspection in Smiths Mill

Roof Inspection in Smiths Mill, Blue Earth County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Smiths Mill is an unincorporated crossroads community of farmsteads and acreages east of Mankato.

Local housing

Homes in Smiths Mill.

Smiths Mill housing runs to farmsteads and acreages on private wells and septic, across the crossroads and the farm ground along Highway 14 east of Mankato, on flat Blue Earth County prairie till — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Smiths Mill

Smiths Mill does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Smiths Mill sits in Blue Earth 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 Smiths Mill-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 you inspect acreages around Smiths Mill?
Yes — Smiths Mill is just east of our Mankato base. Acreage properties get the well and septic flagged for their own evaluation, outbuildings inspected on request, and the house itself the full read on wiring, plumbing, roof and foundation. Our Mankato-based inspectors do the thermal imaging and mold testing here themselves, and Blue Earth County is Radon Zone 1.
