Minnesota's capital city has some of the oldest residential sewer infrastructure in the state. The St. Paul Regional Water Services tracks main breaks but homeowners own the lateral from the foundation to the city main — typically 40–90 feet of pipe you can't see without a camera.
InterNACHI CMI®Homeowners in St. Paul, Minnesota face a specific inspection reality. Minnesota's capital city has some of the oldest residential sewer infrastructure in the state. The St. Paul Regional Water Services tracks main breaks but homeowners own the lateral from the foundation to the city main — typically 40–90 feet of pipe you can't see without a camera. That's why home inspection inspections in St. Paul require local context, not just generic procedure.
A full home inspection covers every visible and accessible system in the property: structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, attic, foundation, exterior, and grounds. We deliver a single digital report with embedded photos, severity classification, and a prioritized action checklist. In Minnesota, where homes routinely have basements, complex HVAC, and weather-stressed envelopes, a thorough inspection is non-negotiable.
