Thermal Imaging in Richfield

Thermal Imaging in Richfield, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Richfield is a first-ring suburb of small postwar ramblers, many now expanded or rebuilt.

Local housing

Homes in Richfield.

Richfield housing runs to small postwar ramblers, many expanded or rebuilt, across the tight postwar grid south of Minneapolis, on flat sandy outwash — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Richfield

Richfield is one of the metro cities that requires a city Time-of-Sale evaluation before a home is sold. That municipal report is a limited disclosure ordered by the seller — it is not your own inspection, does not test radon or scope the sewer, and never works for the buyer. Richfield sits in Hennepin 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 Richfield-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.
How can I tell if a remodeled Richfield rambler was done well?
Look at the quality of the connections rather than the finish. Worth checking are how additions meet the original roof and walls, whether the panel and circuits match the new load, how basement bedrooms and bathrooms are vented and drained, and whether framing and insulation look right where visible. Ask for permit records from the city, since they tell you what was reviewed.
Are Richfield's expanded ramblers a special case?
They are — additions and second-story pop-tops are common, so how the new structure ties into the original matters, as does whether the electrical and HVAC were resized to match.
