InterNACHI CMI®Homeowners in Apple Valley, Minnesota face a specific inspection reality. Apple Valley is a planned community and the housing reflects that consistency. Inspections are typically clean, but we still find the occasional surprise. That's why radon inspections in Apple Valley require local context, not just generic procedure.

A 48-hour continuous radon monitor test is the only way to know your home's level, and Minnesota statute requires disclosure on every residential sale.
Mostly PVC from the 1980s build-out. The dominant risk is grading — additions and landscaping changes routinely damage shallow laterals.
