How does a home inspection work for an older home in Faribault's historic district?

Faribault's historic district, near the Cannon and Straight rivers, is full of late-1800s and early-1900s limestone and brick homes, so an inspection here looks different than one for a 1990s rambler on the edge of town. We start outside, examining limestone and brick foundations and exterior walls for mortar deterioration, settlement cracks, and tuckpointing needs that come with 100-plus-year-old masonry. Inside, we work through the electrical, plumbing, heating, structure, attic, and basement systematically, paying special attention to original components that may have been modified over decades. A typical inspection of an older Faribault home takes two to four hours depending on size and condition, and you're welcome to walk along so we can show you things in person. You'll receive a detailed report with photos, within about 24 hours. Because heritage homes hold surprises, we'd rather over-document than gloss over.
