Local conditions to plan for
The things realtor pros watch for around Ramsey County.
Century-Old Housing Stock
Saint Paul and the inner-ring Ramsey County suburbs have thousands of homes built before 1920. Homes that old often still have knob-and-tube wiring, lead plumbing, thin insulation, and some foundation settling.
What to look for:
- Make sure they check for knob-and-tube wiring and lead plumbing before opening walls.
- Old systems should be brought up to current code safely.
- Ask which preservation requirements apply to your home.
Ice Dam Damage Patterns
Ramsey County's mature tree canopy and older roof designs set up perfect conditions for ice dams. Heat escapes through weak attic ventilation and thin insulation, melts snow, and it refreezes at the eaves.
What to look for:
- Make sure they fix the root cause with better insulation and ventilation.
- Look for ice-and-water shield along the eaves.
- Ask them to act fast when a dam forms to stop interior water damage.
