Closer Look Home Inspectors · InterNACHI Certified · Mankato, MN
A professional home inspection is comprised of a number of essential pieces including the exterior areas of a structure. Having your exterior inspected will give you the understanding of the current condition of the exterior components that make up your home.
Our exterior inspection covers siding condition, windows and doors, trim and fascia, grading and drainage, walkways and driveways, retaining walls, exterior outlets and lighting, hose bibs, vegetation clearance, and the overall weatherproofing of your Mankato home against Southern Minnesota's harsh elements.
Southern Minnesota's extreme weather, including heavy snowfall, ice storms, temperature swings of 130+ degrees annually, wind, and driving rain, takes a significant toll on home exteriors. Early detection of siding damage, window seal failures, and drainage issues prevents costly interior damage.
Proper grading directs water away from the foundation. In Blue Earth County's clay-heavy soils, poor grading causes water pooling against foundations, leading to basement leaks, foundation erosion, and structural damage. We evaluate grading slope and recommend corrections during every exterior inspection.
Yes, our exterior inspection includes a visual evaluation of the roof from ground level and accessible vantage points. We assess shingle condition, flashing, gutters, downspouts, chimney condition, and ventilation components. For detailed roof evaluation, we also access the roof when safe conditions permit.
