Local housing

Homes in Staples.

Staples housing runs to early-1900s railroad-town homes, across the older grid near the rail yard, on flat sandy outwash plain — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Staples

Out in Staples, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Staples sits in Todd 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 five-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 require in the state's northern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Staples-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 common in Staples homes?
Early-1900s railroad-era stock with original systems, and sandy permeable soils that make radon testing worthwhile despite good natural drainage.
