A newer city
Roseville added a lot of housing after 2000: about 46 percent of its roughly 61,000 homes, per Census Bureau estimates, with a median year built of 1998. Only about 17 percent date from 1979 or earlier.
In newer homes, the usual questions are about moisture behind finishes, new-material odors and indoor air. Older pockets of town can still need asbestos and lead checks before a remodel.
Rain gauge in the neighborhood
A volunteer rain gauge in Roseville that is part of NOAA's 1991-2020 normals records about 26 inches a year, about 20 of them between November and March. February is the wettest month there.
From June through September the same gauge averages just 0.59 inches, so nearly all the wetting happens in winter. When a slab or wall stays damp after a storm, moisture mapping can help show where the water is coming from.
New-home air quality
Fresh paint, adhesives and engineered wood can give off VOCs. VOC monitoring or an indoor air quality test can measure what's in the air if odors linger after moving in.

Questions
My Roseville house was built after 2000. Do I need an asbestos test?
It's less likely to be an issue, but a partner can tell you whether sampling is worthwhile for the materials you plan to disturb.
Can I request VOC testing in a new Roseville home?
Yes. Describe the smell and when it started so we can match a partner who does VOC monitoring.
