| Attic |
The attic of the home is the upper most portion of the dwelling, which still remains on the interior. Attics are often used by homeowners for storage and sometimes finished for additional living space if construction style allows and
un fortunately even when it doesn’t. When an attic is unfinished
and accessible the inspector can inspect for the
quality of the construction, the insulation, water penetration, venting, pest or rodent entry
and exposed electrical hazards. An inspector will always point out that when an attic is finished he/she will not be able to
inspect the enclosed areas. Your inspector will be looking for signs that may indicate hidden problems as well as a safe and professional finishing job which will not interfere with the venting and insulation systems of the home.
