Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about home inspections

How long does a home inspection take?

Most home inspections take 2-4 hours depending on the size and age of the property. Larger homes or those with additional structures (detached garages, sheds) may take longer. You're welcome to attend and we encourage it.

When will I receive my inspection report?

You'll receive your detailed digital report within 24 hours of the inspection, usually the same day. The report includes high-resolution photos, thermal images, and detailed explanations of all findings.

Should I attend the inspection?

Yes! We highly encourage clients to attend. This gives you the opportunity to see the property's condition firsthand, ask questions, and learn about maintenance requirements. We'll walk you through our findings.

What does FLIR thermal imaging detect?

Thermal imaging reveals hidden issues invisible to the naked eye: moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, air leaks, electrical hotspots, missing insulation, HVAC duct leaks, and roof moisture. It's included in every inspection.

Do you inspect new construction homes?

Absolutely! Even new homes can have defects, code violations, or workmanship issues. A third-party inspection before your final walkthrough ensures everything was built correctly and gives you leverage for repairs.

What if the inspection finds major problems?

Our report clearly identifies and explains all issues found. You can use this information to negotiate repairs with the seller, request a price reduction, or make an informed decision about proceeding with the purchase.

Do you offer same-day inspections?

Yes! We offer same-day and next-day scheduling based on availability. We also provide evening and weekend appointments to accommodate your timeline and closing deadlines.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Winthrop and 15 surrounding Minnesota cities within a 60-mile radius, including Mankato, Hutchinson, New Ulm, St. Peter, and more. See our full service area list above.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes! We are fully certified, licensed, and carry comprehensive errors & omissions insurance. Our inspector maintains continuing education and stays current on all building codes and inspection standards.

Common Issues We Find in Minnesota Homes

Local expertise for Minnesota's unique climate and housing challenges

❄️ Winter Weather Damage

Ice Dams & Roof Damage: Minnesota's harsh winters cause ice dams, roof deterioration, and gutter damage. We inspect for proper attic ventilation, insulation depth, and roofing material condition.

  • Ice dam prevention assessment
  • Attic insulation evaluation (R-49+ recommended)
  • Roof ventilation analysis
  • Gutter and downspout integrity

💧 Foundation & Moisture Issues

Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Minnesota soil expands and contracts with temperature changes, causing foundation cracks, settlement, and basement water intrusion.

  • Foundation crack assessment
  • Basement moisture detection (thermal imaging)
  • Sump pump functionality
  • Grading and drainage evaluation

⚡ Outdated Electrical Systems

Older Homes: Many Minnesota homes built 1950s-1970s have outdated electrical panels, knob-and-tube wiring, or insufficient amperage for modern demands.

  • Panel inspection (Federal Pacific, Zinsco concerns)
  • Wiring type and condition
  • GFCI/AFCI protection compliance
  • Service amperage adequacy (100A minimum)

🔥 HVAC Efficiency Issues

High Heating Costs: Minnesota's extreme temperatures stress heating systems. We identify inefficient furnaces, ductwork leaks, and poor insulation.

  • Furnace age and condition (15-20 year lifespan)
  • Ductwork leakage detection (thermal imaging)
  • Air filtration and ventilation
  • Programmable thermostat recommendations

🧱 Chimney & Fireplace Problems

Masonry Deterioration: Freeze-thaw cycles damage brick chimneys. We check for mortar deterioration, flue liner issues, and carbon monoxide risks.

  • Chimney structure and masonry condition
  • Flue liner integrity
  • Fireplace damper operation
  • Carbon monoxide detector placement

🦠 Mold & Air Quality

Sealed Homes: Energy-efficient homes trap moisture. We detect mold in basements, attics, bathrooms, and crawl spaces using thermal imaging.

  • Moisture intrusion detection
  • Ventilation system assessment
  • Visible mold identification
  • Humidity level evaluation

Bottom Line: Minnesota homes face unique challenges. Our local expertise and thermal imaging technology catch issues before they become expensive disasters. Don't trust your biggest investment to a generic inspection.
