New Auburn is one of the smallest towns we serve — a tiny community near the Sibley and McLeod County line, about 16 miles south of Hutchinson and ringed by working farmland. Almost everything here is older housing: solid, modest homes that have been lived in for generations and quietly carried their original wiring, plumbing, and foundations through countless Minnesota winters.
Step outside the village and most properties are rural acreages and farmsteads on private wells and septic, with detached garages and outbuildings to evaluate. We don't run a city-swapped checklist. We inspect for what's genuinely common in a very small, rural Minnesota town.

Here's the kind of thing a careful, locally-informed New Auburn inspection brings to the surface.
Older homes here sit on block, stone, or early poured foundations that have weathered decades of freeze-thaw. We document settlement cracks, bowing walls, and movement with photos and clear severity notes.
Older rural homes often predate modern drainage and waterproofing. We trace water staining, efflorescence, and check sump operation and grading before a damp basement becomes a costly one.
Many older homes have minimal attic insulation, and that drives ice dams every winter. We flag the insulation and ventilation gaps that back water under shingles and into walls.
Decades of snow load, wind, and freeze-thaw take a toll on wood siding and trim. We probe soft spots and document rot, failed paint, and water entry points.
Nearly every home in New Auburn runs systems installed decades ago. We open the panel, test the plumbing, and tell you plainly what's safe, what's near end-of-life, and what's a real concern.
Plain-language reporting on every major system of the home — plus specialty testing when you need it.
