Representative Findings

Most common defects in Carver.

Plumbing

Oak-Wilt Root Sewer Intrusion

Lateral failure is a five-figure repair the seller won't disclose — which is why we scope every inspection here.

Exterior

EIFS / Synthetic Stucco Moisture

Concealed EIFS moisture rots sheathing and framing silently and is one of the most expensive defects on upscale Minnetonka homes.

Roof

Cedar Shake Roof End-of-Life

An end-of-life shake roof is a major replacement and a Class 4 / insurance conversation that directly affects negotiation.

Roof

Ice Dams & Attic Bypass

Ice dams drive water under shingles and shake into walls — a recurring Glen Lake and Greenbriar problem that damages finishes.

Electrical

Federal Pacific / Zinsco Panel

These panels are a recognized fire-safety concern and routinely warrant replacement on older Glen Lake splits.

Structure

Foundation Cracks & Movement

Structural movement and active water intrusion are deal-defining defects that benign cracks are not — knowing the difference matters.

Structure

Deck Ledger & Structural Rot

A failing deck ledger is a life-safety collapse risk and one of the most common significant findings on local inspections.

Plumbing

Improper Bath Venting

Improper bath venting is a leading hidden driver of attic mold and roof-deck rot in west-metro homes.
