ATTIC
Your attic is not just a storage space for all your forgotten treasures. The condition of the attic plays a large role in the health of your home. Although the exterior of the roof may look sound and secure, an Attic Inspection could reveal potential structural damage indicating that the house has shifted. Stress cracks, broken trusses or rafters could lead to safety issues and compromise the structural integrity of a home.

Ventilation
All attics require ventilation to allow the remove excess humidity balance the temperature between the roof and the outside air.

It is required that an attic have the proper insulation for the climate. Insulating the attic door or hatch can also increase energy efficiency for heating during colder months.

The types and average depth of the insulation
The conditions of storage areas and attic floors
Damaged floorboards
Evidence of water, pest, and fire damage
Proper insulation placement and code adherence
