Home Inspector in Edina, MN

Edina, Hennepin County, is an upscale inner-ring suburb with significant tear-down activity — and it's only 17 miles from our Apple Valley office. Our inspectors have personally walked through hundreds of Edina homes across neighborhoods like Country Club, Morningside, Cahill, and we know what to look for in each era of Edina's housing stock.

Why Edina Homebuyers Choose Home Inspector Twin Cities

Most home inspectors get the bulk of their business from real estate agents — which means there's pressure (explicit or not) to keep deals moving. We're different. The majority of our inspections are booked directly by homebuyers in Edina who found us through Google, friends, or our reviews. That changes everything about how we report.

• Local expertise: we know which Edina subdivisions had foundation issues, which builders cut corners, and which years had defective polybutylene plumbing or aluminum wiring.
• Free thermal imaging: included on every full inspection. Most Edina competitors charge $100+ extra.
• 24-hour reports: with photos, video clips, infrared images, and a clear priority ranking — delivered the next business day.
• Walkthrough included: meet us on-site for the final hour and we'll show you every major finding in person.
• Lifetime follow-up: call or email anytime — even years later — with questions about your Edina home.

Common Edina Home Inspection Issues

Every Twin Cities city has its own pattern of housing problems. In Edina, the issues we flag most often include:

• Radon (very common): Minnesota is a Zone 1 high-radon state and Hennepin County tests above the EPA action level in roughly 4 of 10 homes. We strongly recommend a 48-hour CRM radon test on every Edina purchase.
• Ice-dam roof damage: Edina's freeze-thaw cycles routinely cause shingle damage, gutter pull-away, and attic insulation issues. We use thermal imaging to find related moisture intrusion you'd otherwise miss.
• Basement moisture: spring snowmelt and summer storms reveal grading and drainage issues that don't show up in dry weather. We look for stains, efflorescence, and use moisture meters on suspect surfaces.
• Older sewer lines: Edina homes built before 1985 often have clay or cast-iron sewer lines. A $195 sewer-scope add-on can save you from a $5,000–$25,000 surprise.
• HVAC at end-of-life: we test heating and cooling systems for both function and remaining service life — important when you're inheriting equipment in Edina.
