Stearns County is one of Minnesota's largest counties, anchored by St. Cloud to the north and dotted with lakes and small German-Catholic heritage towns throughout. In the south, Kimball sits near the Meeker and Wright county lines, a tight-knit community surrounded by farmland and a chain of small lakes.
Around Kimball you'll find a mix of older main-street homes, farmhouse-era houses, and lake places that began as seasonal cabins. The inspection priorities track the rest of the region: aging electrical and galvanized plumbing in the older homes, high water tables and basement moisture on the lake lots, and the ice dams and attic-ventilation issues that come with every Minnesota winter.
