Local housing

Homes in Hastings.

Hastings housing runs to a deep stock of historic homes plus newer edges, across the historic downtown and the river neighborhoods, on Mississippi River-valley sites — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Hastings

Hastings does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Hastings sits in Dakota 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 Hastings-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you offer thermal imaging?
Yes. Infrared scanning is available as an add-on.
What does it actually find?
Moisture tracking behind finishes, gaps in insulation, and hot electrical connections that are invisible to the naked eye.
Do Hastings homes need a radon test?
Dakota County is EPA Radon Zone 1, and the Minnesota Department of Health recommends that every Minnesota home be tested. Older stone basements and homes with dirt or cracked floors can give radon easy entry, and newer homes are not exempt. Place the test in the lowest lived-in level. It fits inside an inspection period, and a mitigation contractor can install a fix.
Do you inspect historic Hastings homes?
Yes — its 1800s and early-1900s stock rewards an experienced eye for period framing, foundations and wiring.
