Local housing

Homes in Tonka Bay.

Tonka Bay housing runs to converted cottages and rebuilt lakeshore homes, across the peninsula lakeshore streets, on a narrow peninsula between Minnetonka bays — and that mix shapes what a thermal imaging here needs to find.

Local conditions in Tonka Bay

Tonka Bay does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Tonka Bay 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 Tonka Bay-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 I need a radon test on a lakeshore house in Tonka Bay?
Hennepin County is EPA Radon Zone 1, and the Minnesota Department of Health recommends every Minnesota home be tested. Being near water does not remove the risk. Test in the lowest lived-in level, including finished lower levels and rooms over crawl spaces. A short test fits inside an inspection window, and a mitigation contractor can fix a high result.
Do you cover Tonka Bay?
Yes — the peninsula's mix of original cottages and full rebuilds means each house needs its own read, from legacy foundations to new-construction envelope details.
